Sheffield & South Yorkshire

Hello, I’m Luke

I truly believe that buying your first home, your next home or remortgaging your current home should be EASY!

It’s not that the process is simple, there’s paperwork, solicitors, lenders and a lot of waiting around.

That’s where I come in, you focus on the exciting bit, I’ll handle the rest.

How Can I Help You?

One on One appointment

Every conversation is directly with me, not a call centre. We’ll go through your mortgage options, how buying works step by step, how to approach your offer, and the broker fee, legal and survey costs to plan for.

Get started →

Look at your affordability

A calculator tells you what a lender might lend. I’ll help you work out what you can comfortably pay each month and still enjoy your life.

Get started →

Your mortgage in principle

I’ll talk directly with the lenders who match your circumstances so you can offer with credibility.

Offering service

We wont be guessing when offering on your dream home, we’ll be using trusted data from HomeTrack to understand what the right price is and we’ll work together to negotiate with the agent.

From day one to the keys in your hand

We’re not done once your offer is in hand, because that’s just a single piece of the puzzle. I’ll be on hand to answer any questions, right through to completion and keeping in touch with your solicitor, lender and agent so things keep moving.

Don’t take my word for it

I’ve helped so many people like you, find and buy their homes.

Here is what they had to say.

Book a call

Hey, I’m Luke Nicholson

I’m Luke, and I’ve been helping people buy their homes since 2020, first at a national estate agent, so I know how to speak to them, and now running Chat Mortgages myself here in Sheffield.

I started Chat Mortgages because I think buying and remortgaging your home should feel a lot less stressful than most people are told it will be. That means being someone you can actually get hold of. Got a question in the evening? Worried about something the solicitor said? Just message me. No call centre, no being passed around, just me, from the first conversation until the keys are in your hand.

And it doesn’t stop there. Your mortgage isn’t something you sort once and forget about. Deals end, families grow, jobs change, and your mortgage should keep up with all of it. So when your rate is coming to an end or your plans change, I’ll be there to make sure you’re still on the right deal, not just whatever your lender sends you.

Whether it’s your first home or your next one, I’d love to help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should you choose me to help you with your mortgage? +

I adopt a project management approach to your purchase or remortgage. This means I’m not just another part of the process you have to deal with; instead, I’m here to deal with those parts with you and support you along the way.

I’m not ready for another 6+ months +

Fantastic! Getting your affairs in order before you even open Rightmove or Zoopla will make your journey so much easier. Let’s have a chat. We can establish where you are right now and where you need to be to buy your home, or to improve your mortgage when your fixed deal ends.

How can you help with solicitors? +

Your solicitor is an important part of the process. They’re there to make sure the home you’re buying is suitable for both you and the lender. Dealing with solicitors can be frustrating and confusing. Fortunately, I’ve spent years learning their language, and I’ll work with you so you understand what’s happening at each stage and the process keeps moving smoothly. I’ll help you respond to enquiries correctly the first time to avoid any back and forth, and keep track of outstanding items so nothing gets forgotten.

Why do you charge a fee? +

There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The precise amount will depend upon your circumstances and will be agreed with you before proceeding but will range from £150 to £595. You’ve made it this far through the website, so I hope I’ve already answered the “why”. There are some great advisers who won’t charge you a fee and will get you the right mortgage, but afterwards, for the rest of the journey, you’re on your own. As I say throughout this website, I’m here from the first question you ask me until you get your keys, and every step in between.

I can do it myself with comparison sites +

Absolutely you can, especially if your circumstances fit the high street lender mould. If you feel you can handle the process yourself, I may not be the adviser for you. But if you’re like the majority of the buyers and homeowners I’ve helped over the years, who have their own nuances and don’t have time to chase solicitors, estate agents and lenders, then I am the adviser for you.

How can you help with estate agents? +

Estate agents do a great job for the person selling the property, but not necessarily for the buyer. Why is that? Because you’re not their client; the seller is. While it’s in the seller’s interest to work with buyers to move things along quickly, the agent isn’t in your corner. I am, though. Whether you’re making an offer on your dream home, need to renegotiate, want more information about the property, or run into issues, I can support you and, if needed, speak on your behalf.
