How it works with Tony
Buying in Scotland: good to know
- Scotland has its own property tax, LBTT, rather than stamp duty.
- Sellers usually provide a Home Report, and many homes go to a closing date with offers over the asking price.
- Having a mortgage agreed in principle before you offer can help. It is not a guarantee of a mortgage.

Greenock mortgage questions
Do you help buyers in Gourock and Port Glasgow?
Yes. Tony helps buyers and homeowners across Greenock, including nearby Gourock and Port Glasgow, and can speak to you wherever you are.
How does buying a home in Scotland differ from the rest of the UK?
Scotland has its own property tax, Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT), rather than stamp duty. Sellers usually provide a Home Report, and many homes are sold with offers over the asking price or a closing date, so it helps to have your mortgage agreed in principle before you make an offer.
What is a mortgage agreement in principle?
It is a lender's initial indication of how much they may lend you, based on the information you give. It is not a guarantee, but it can help show sellers you are serious before you make an offer.
Can you help if I am self-employed or have a lower credit score?
Some lenders may consider self-employed applicants or people with a lower credit score, depending on your circumstances. Tony can look at which lenders may be a fit. Availability and criteria vary and nothing is guaranteed.
Can you arrange protection as well as a mortgage?
Yes. Tony can also advise on life insurance, critical illness cover and income protection alongside your mortgage.
