We're a multi-award winning mortgage and savings platform, focussed on helping the next generation get on the ladder sooner, stay on it or move up it. We've been going for 4 years and have helped thousands of customers with their mortgage and insurance needs.

Any savings you put into a Tembo Lifetime ISA are safe and secure, and are held in a banking-level security account. Your funds are also produced by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). This means your money is protected up to £85,000, in the event of a financial institution failing. Tembo is also regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) which means we abide by strict governance and compliance rules.

Yes, there are a range of buying schemes that can help boost your affordability even with a low deposit or no house fund saved up. To see what budget-boosting options you could be eligible for, create a free Tembo plan. Make sure to add any family members or friends who may be able to help.

Some mortgage brokers are ‘tied’, meaning they only have access to a few panels of lenders. At Tembo, we have access to over 100 lenders, and over 20,000 products. These include high-street banks like Barclays and MetroBank, building societies like Skipton, and specialist lenders like Generation Home.

To ensure you get the best possible service no matter how complex your situation, Tembo usually charges a fee for mortgage advice. The fee isn't payable until you have a mortgage offer from a lender, so you'll never pay for advice alone. For a standard mortgage, the fee is £499, and for a Boost mortgage or complex cases it is up to £749.

Why? Well, you'll get expert advice from a fully qualified specialist, who will create a bespoke mortgage plan that's right for you. You'll also get access to over 100 lenders, with many options not found on the high street or through other channels, exclusively available to Tembo. Plus we'll do all the hard work, so you don't have to! We'll help you find the right mortgage and conveyancer, and we'll liaise with your solicitor and estate agent once your offer has been accepted.

Tembo is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under the registration number 952652.
