Forest Gate covers E7, with the Elizabeth line at Forest Gate station running straight into the City one way and out to Romford the other. The housing stock is solidly Victorian: bay-fronted terraces around the Woodgrange Estate, conversions closer to the station, and Wanstead Flats giving the north of the area genuine open space. It is a strong first-time buyer market, with families staying on for the long haul.

What we do here

Mortgage and protection advice for the four cases we see most. Named adviser, wherever possible.

First-time buyer mortgages in Forest Gate

E7 is a proper first-time buyer patch: Victorian conversions near the station, whole terraces for those stretching further. We work the 5% to 15% deposit routes and tell you what your income actually supports.

Remortgaging in Forest Gate

Plenty of Forest Gate owners fixed when rates were low and are now looking at a very different market. We model a full remortgage against a product transfer before you commit to either.

Buy-to-let mortgages in Forest Gate

Strong tenant demand off the Elizabeth line keeps Forest Gate lets moving. We arrange buy-to-let mortgages for individual landlords and limited companies, including Victorian conversions and HMO cases.

Protection advice in Forest Gate

Life cover, critical illness and income protection built around the mortgage you actually take, not a standard bundle. If a young family depends on your income, this is the unglamorous bit that matters.

Why choose Major Money Matters in Forest Gate

Forest Gate sits on the same Elizabeth line as our Romford base, and most clients here run everything by phone and video, with named adviser support wherever possible. We have access to over 65 lenders across the market, which counts in a market full of Victorian conversions where one lender's no is another lender's yes. Trading since 2004, so we have seen a few rate cycles.
