Video shorts ahead of key Bank of England rate decision

I’m driven by a passion for clear, no-nonsense advice - always delivered in plain English. That might be my northern roots showing, but I believe in cutting through the jargon and getting straight to the point, while still meeting all the necessary regulatory requirements.

If I can help you, I will. If I can’t, I’ll say so. I won’t waste your time. This honest, straight-talking approach, combined with empathy and a genuine understanding of each client’s situation is why so many people come back to me time and time again, and why they often refer me to their friends and family.

In today’s world of post-pandemic, post-credit crunch mortgage lending, it can sometimes feel like lenders are doing everything they can to avoid doing business. That’s where my determination really comes into play. If I believe in a case, I’ll go further than most to get it over the line. I don’t give up easily, and I’ll always fight for the right outcome.

What you’ll get from me is honest, impartial advice, delivered in plain English by someone who genuinely cares. You won’t get jargon, waffle, pressure to buy, or broken promises. Just straightforward support from someone who’s in your corner.
