Expert Mortgage Advice Tailored to You
Mortgage advice for people whose lives don't fit neatly into a box.
I’m Finola, a mortgage adviser helping people buy, move and remortgage, with a specialism in self-employed clients, contractors and landlords. I take the time to understand the full picture, then tell you plainly what’s possible.
Buying or refinancing a home isn't just a transaction. It's your money, your plans and your future, and they all need to work together. I work with a small number of clients at a time, so I can properly understand your situation before recommending anything. No rushing, no guesswork, and no deal that only looks good on paper.
Why clients choose to work with me
I've been self-employed for over a decade, so I know what it's like to apply for a mortgage while running a business. I've also bought, sold and renovated my own homes for over 10 years. I understand how this plays out in real life, not just on paper.
Understand first, advise second.
I ask the questions others skip, so my recommendation fits your life, not just a lender's checklist.Straight answers
If something won't work, I'll tell you, along with what would. No jargon and no false promises.The bigger picture
Your mortgage is one part of your plans. I'll help you think about where you're heading, not just this move.
We had the pleasure of working with Finola as our mortgage advisor, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very start, she was incredibly helpful, approachable, and easy to talk to. It was clear that she genuinely had our family’s best interests at heart, which made the entire process feel so much more personal and reassuring. Finola went above and beyond to guide us every step of the way, and her knowledge and dedication made a potentially stressful journey feel smooth and manageable. We’re so grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for expert, caring mortgage advice.

Before I recommend anything, I take the time to understand your situation properly: your income, your outgoings, your plans, and anything that makes your circumstances different.
Every lender has its own rules, and two people with the same income can get very different answers. Doing the groundwork first means I can match you with lenders that suit your situation, so your application has the best chance of running smoothly.

Mortgage Broker FAQs
Is it worth paying for mortgage brokers?
A mortgage is one of the biggest financial commitments, if not the biggest financial commitment you could make. To work with a mortgage broker not only provides you with peace of mind that somebody is sourcing the most suitable mortgage for you, but it also takes the pressure, time and effort off of you. This is even more important when purchasing, since buying a house and managing communication with an estate agent and solicitor is time consuming enough, so in our opinion having a mortgage broker to support with the mortgage can be invaluable.
Is it good to talk to a mortgage broker?
It can be good to talk to a mortgage broker as a mortgage broker can support in so many ways for your purchase and re-mortgage. As our lives grow more and more hectic, speaking with a mortgage broker can take a huge weight off your shoulders and allows you to get on with your day knowing that a qualified mortgage broker is sourcing you the most suitable mortgage deal for you. They can also help you understand how much you could afford to borrow, how much the monthly payments are, and they can answer any questions that you may have along the journey.
Is it better to use mortgage brokers or a bank?
It can be better to use a mortgage broker over a bank, since a mortgage broker has access to lots of mortgage lenders and building societies, including the top high street banks. You can visit your bank directly, however you will be limited to the mortgage products available directly with that bank. They are not in a position to discuss other mortgage products with you, so you will see a limited view of options. A mortgage broker can compare options available across many of the high street banks, as well as the smaller building societies or specialist lenders. You don't need to have your mortgage with the same bank that you do your everyday banking with.
Are mortgages more expensive through a broker?
A mortgage broker will have access to a comprehensive amount of mortgage lenders and building societies. This means that they are able to compare all of the mortgage lenders and mortgage products against each other, carry out any research on your criteria needs, and source the most cost effective mortgage product for you. There may be a mortgage broker application fee to pay, however the mortgage products that they are able to source can sometimes be "broker exclusive", providing potential cost savings for you. Mortgage brokers are also informed of upcoming mortgage product changes, so you can be better informed about any potential rate increases or decreases, and take advantage of securing a rate as soon as possible via your mortgage broker.
