Lender profile

  • Barclays is one of the “big five” British banks and among the most commonly-used mortgage lenders.
  • The bank offers one of the most diverse ranges of mortgages, including several aimed at first-time buyers or those looking to borrow into retirement.

What types of mortgages can I get with Barclays?

  • Fixed rate A fixed-rate mortgage provides certainty as your interest rate will remain locked for a set amount of time.
  • Remortgages You can switch your existing mortgage to Barclays via one of its remortgage products.
  • Tracker With a tracker mortgage, your interest rate fluctuates based on the Bank of England base rate.
  • Offset With an offset mortgage, you can use the money in your savings account to offset your mortgage interest.
  • Buy-to-let You’ll need a buy-to-let mortgage if you’re looking to borrow money for a second property to let out.
  • Shared ownership With shared ownership, you can purchase a percentage of the property, while paying rent on the rest. You can apply to purchase additional percentages of the property as and when you can afford it.

Think carefully before securing debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

How to apply

You can apply for a Barclays mortgage via the Barclays website, in one of its branches, or by calling 0333 202 7573 to book an appointment with one of its mortgage advisers.

What information is needed to apply?

You’ll need to provide: photo ID, proof of current address, building insurance policy (if remortgaging from another lender), bank account details (from which you’ll make mortgage payments from), proof of income, details of any current debts, details of any current life/critical illness/home insurance policies, details of any other mortgages, details of the property you want to buy, plus details of the solicitor and estate agent.

Eligibility criteria

The minimum age for taking out a Barclays mortgage is 18, or 21 for buy-to-let mortgages. You’ll need to be younger than 70 before the mortgage term ends (or provide proof that you’ll be able to repay your mortgage if it extends into your retirement).

If you’re employed, you’ll need to have been in continuous employment for the last 3 months – not necessarily with the same employer, but there must be no gaps.

Finder scores, in blue, are based on our expert analysis. We also show reviews from users, where we've received more than 10, with a score in yellow. We gather more reviews from customers every year in Finder's customer satisfaction survey.

We show offers we can track - that's not every product on the market...yet. Unless we've said otherwise, products are in no particular order. The terms "best", "top", "cheap" (and variations of these) aren't ratings, though we always explain what's great about a product when we highlight it. This is subject to our terms of use. When you make major financial decisions, consider getting independent financial advice. Always consider your own circumstances when you compare products so you get what's right for you. Most of the data in Finder's comparison tables has the source: Moneyfacts Group PLC. In other cases, Finder has sourced data directly from providers.
