Mortgages for Retailers

The Retail Mutual has joined forces with mortgage specialist L&C to offer a dedicated mortgage service to retailers. They offer specialist advice and access to a wide range of mortgage products for every need, from buying your first home or moving house to buying to let or remortgaging an existing property.

Find the best mortgage to suit your needs

L&C will scour the market for the best deals to suit your needs. Their dedicated mortgage service is open to all independent retailers via The Retail Mutual at no extra cost and with no obligation to buy. Supported by a range of online tools plus expert advisors available to take your calls seven days a week, they aim to offer a simple, stress-free experience from start to finish.

Taking out a mortgage is a major commitment, especially if you are an independent retailer running your own business.

None of us wants to dwell on what might happen if we were to die or suffer a critical illness, but arranging suitable life cover at the same time as your mortgage can provide invaluable peace of mind and protection in the event of the unexpected.

We have teamed up with L&C to offer Term Life and Critical Illness Cover, enabling us to provide an even wider range of cover options, especially for independent retailers.
