There are plenty of reasons people are choosing to move to Wiltshire, with the beautiful, rolling countryside, the good transport road links thanks to the M4 and the vibrant mix of relaxed villages and cosmopolitan cities.
There’s something for every type of property buyer, and we can help you on your journey.
Our mortgage advisers, Kye Collier and Daniel Pitman, are based in Holt, a small village just north of Trowbridge. They know this area well, and have helped hundreds of local people get a mortgage to buy a property they love.
Here at Crescent Mortgages, we’ve served all kinds of buyers through our years of experience – for instance, helping commuters in Corsham and Chippenham find the right mortgage for a home that lets them easily get to work in Swindon or Bath.
Or supporting people to buy in the historic town of Devizes, where listed buildings are seen everywhere, offering the bespoke guidance they need.
And we’ve helped a lot of buyers in Melksham, where many enjoy the character of a town that’s got strong roots in the rubber industry.

One of the reasons those in Wiltshire trust us is because we offer a fair service – we don’t charge a broker fee.
We know every pound counts when buying a home, so we get paid only when you take out a mortgage, from the procurement fee given to us when the deal goes through.
We’re not wedded to a small group of lenders though. We have access to thousands of deals across the market – including some exclusive options – so you can be sure you’re getting the best deal based on your needs.
“The housing market is generally pretty solid in Wiltshire, nothing seems to be changing drastically,” says Kye Collier, director of Crescent Mortgages.
“There are houses being built all over the place to fill out some towns growing at quite a pace. I live in Westbury, and the gap between Westbury and Trowbridge is narrowing.
“The fields that separate them are almost touching now, in the last 5-10 years the housing markets have basically come together.”
“For me, you get more for your money,” says Kye.
“Salisbury would be the closest thing to mimicking Bath, with its history and cathedral.
“Then you’ve got a load of villages, similar to the Somerset ones – they’re quaint and picturesque, but the housing market can be slower here, since they don’t sell often.
“So really, if you’re looking to live in Wiltshire, you should certainly consider places like Westbury, Trowbridge, Bradford-on-Avon, Frome, Salisbury and Melksham.”
“You could argue Wiltshire is a more ‘balanced’ county – it has London to the east, Somerset to the west, yet is still beautiful,” says Daniel.
“It’s probably the most affordable county closest to London, given the train line, about an hour into Paddington depending on where you are.
“If you head an hour out of London to the east, or north, say, y
We’ve helped all kinds of buyers get a mortgage in this part of the country – there are subtle differences to what people need when getting a mortgage that only those with local knowledge can help with.
With the average price paid by first-time buyers reported as just £262,000 (as of May 2026), many purchasing their first home won’t need to worry about stamp duty. That gives them more freedom to add a bit more to the deposit, which helps us find them even more competitive mortgage rates.
If you’re looking to change properties in Wiltshire (or move into the area) we can find a range of offers to suit you. Whether you’re looking for a Georgian house in Bradford-Upon-Avon, or are eyeing a property in Marlborough that requires a more complex mortgage, we’ve got the experience and know-how to help out.
If you’re looking to change your mortgage terms to support your needs, or just want to make sure you’re spending as little as possible on your monthly premiums, we can help.
We can compare your existing deal to the range of those on the market, so you can be sure you’re getting yourself the best rates.
According to the most recent survey, the number of people working for themselves in Wiltshire stands at just over 9.1% – broadly in line with the national average.
We can walk you through the process of getting a mortgage if you’re self-employed – it can look daunting from the outset, but with the right documents, it’s a straightforward process for many.
When you work with Crescent Mortgages, you’re getting access to mortgage advisers with over a quarter of a century’s experience of getting people the deal they deserve.
Based in the Glove Factory, a restored tanning and glove-making building set in rural Wiltshire, we’re here to help you buy the home you want in the area that makes you happy.
We created Crescent Mortgages to help people find the right deal for them, at a fair price. We’re based in the local area, giving us the deep insights to help buyers finance the purchase of a wide range of Wiltshire properties.
