Fare Wise Travel

It’s great to see the travel scene building back up again but there is still a lot of fluctuation and uncertainty.

M & P Hardware

In case we get winter power cuts make sure you check your stocks on candles, gas, paraffin, firelighters etc.  We currently have good stock (but as we all know, this can change).
 
We offer shoe repairs, tool sharpening and electrical repairs especially lamps.  All repairs take around a couple of days. Your winter boots need to be ready, summer tools sharpened and put away for the winter and lamps repairs ready for the long dark days.

Find us up the cuttings next to Martin & The Magpie.

Hungerford Mortgage Company

Desperate to leave home? Maybe the baby is on the way and you need a larger pad? Perhaps you want a more manageable place to live? Or are thinking about buying to let? 
 
Whatever stage you’re at, your circumstances are unique and wherever you want to move to, it’s supposed to be a happy experience. Sadly, all too often, it can be a confusing and stressful time – particularly where finance is concerned. Navigating the mortgage market by yourself can be mystifying – and very limiting.
 
That’s why the Hungerford Mortgage Company was started, by people just like you – to remove the anxiety and worry about mortgages. We only care about getting you the best mortgage deal available – even ones you wouldn’t be able to find yourself.  
 
It starts off with a chat to see if we can help you. Obtaining a mortgage is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make, so we’re only happy when you’re completely happy. 
 
As part of the Hungerford Legal and Financial Centre on Hungerford High Street, we’re available every weekday so you can always drop in, give us a call on 01488 646222. We can always come to you   – even in the evenings or maybe you’d just prefer to chat over Zoom.

Hungerford Coin & Stamp Centre

As many of you know, our shop was broken into in the early hours of 12 September by a kid on a bicycle. The Police have been given CCTV footage of the culprit and are investigating.
 
We would like to thank everyone who has taken the trouble to come in and see us and for all your good wishes on social media.
 
Meanwhile we have been extremely busy in the shop buying and selling stamps and coins and would welcome any enquiries especially with regard to the disposal of large collections and accumulations.
