The Mortgage Stop was founded with a simple goal in mind: to provide mortgage and protection advice tailored to the unique needs of our clients. We're family-owned and operated, with over 20 years of experience in the industry, and we work hard to remove the stress from the financial side of our clients' purchases. 

Rohit Kohli

Yes, remotely. Based on the south coast. 

Having started working as a cashier in a well-known bank 11 years ago, Jack worked hard and made his way up the career ladder. In early 2015 he became fully qualified to provide advice on mortgages. Being very customer focused, he strongly believes in treating people in the way in which he would want to be treated.

Being totally independent and having access to the whole of the mortgage market means that he can advise his clients no matter what their circumstances to their best interest.

Outside of work, Jack is a keen football fan with Portsmouth being his favourite team. He also enjoys running and completed the London Marathon in 2021.

Jack Tutton

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.

Craig Fish

Available remotely or face to face in North Yorkshire.
