Mortgage advice from a
former journalist
with grit, clarity, and attention to detail.
Whole of Market
I'm not tied to any lender or a restricted panel of lenders, so I'll find the right mortgage for you, not the easiest one for me.
FCA Regulated
Fully authorised and regulated, so you can trust you're getting advice that's held to the highest standards.
Straight Talk
My background is in financial journalism. My specialty is explaining complicated things clearly.
Free Initial Consultation
Your first conversation with me costs nothing. Let's talk through your situation before you commit to anything.
The mortgage
adviser who
speaks your language
Whether you’re a journalist, financial professional, or self-employed creative, I understand that careers often don’t follow a straight line. More importantly, I know how to explain all kinds of income streams to lenders. If you’ve ever worried that your income is too complicated for a mortgage, let’s talk.
SERVICES
From your first home to your next move, I'll find the right mortgage for your situation, and explain every step along the way.
First Time Buyers
Buying your first home is exciting and overwhelming in equal measure. I'll help you understand what you can borrow, find the best deal, and guid you through the entire process.
Remortgage
Whether you're just looking for a new fixed rate, want to pay down a chunk or are looking to borrow more, I'll search the whole market to make sure you're not paying more than you need to.
Moving Home
Upsizing, downsizing, or just ready for a change, I'll manage the mortgage side so you can focus on the move itself. I'll do everything I can to make sure the deal gets done.
Buy-to-LET
Whether you're buying your first investment property or expanding a portfolio, I'll find the right deal for your situation and help you understand what the numbers actually look like.
Equity release
If you're over 55 and want to access the value tied up in your home, I'll explain your options clearly and make sure any decision you make is the right one for you and your family.
Self-employed
Irregular income doesn't have to mean a harder mortgage. I know how lenders assess self-employed applications and I'll make sure yours is presented in the strongest possible way.
Bridging loans
When you need to move fast, buying before you've sold, or funding a purchase that a standard mortgage won't cover, I'll find short-term finance and help you plan the exit.
Borrowing More
Already own your home and need to release funds for a renovation, major purchase, or something else entirely? I'll look at all the options and find the most cost-effective route.
insurance
If something happened, would your family be able to stay in their home? I'll find cover that fits your circumstances and your budget, without overcomplicating it.
I'd always assumed getting a mortgage as a freelancer would be a nightmare. Brian made it straightforward from start to finish — he knew exactly which lenders to approach and got us a deal we didn't think was possible
