Why Lantern

Property finance people, giving home loan advice.

We've sat on the lender's side of the table

Our team's backgrounds are in credit assessment, property finance and capital markets. We know what a credit team looks for, so your application is built to answer their questions before they ask them.

Built for property and business owners

Investors with more than one property. Business owners whose income does not fit a payslip. Families buying their next home while they still own the last one. That is where structure matters and where we spend our time.

By introduction and for the long run

We work closely with accountants, lawyers and the other people you already rely on and we take every introduction seriously. You'll have one adviser, their direct number and the same person at every refix.

A mortgage is a credit decision.We treat it like one.

Your application is built to answer the lender's questions up front and the structure should still make sense in five years.

Your advisers

One adviser, from first call to every refix.

Choose the adviser who suits you. You'll have their direct number and they'll be the one you deal with when your rate comes up for review.
