Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately — it’s been a busy few weeks behind the scenes!

You may have seen a few headlines about mortgage rates going up. While there has been a some movement, it’s not been anything drastic — more a small shift due to global events (including the situation in Iran) and changing expectations around future rate cuts.

The main thing to know is: there are still plenty of good options out there, and it’s all about getting the right advice for your situation.

On a more positive note, I recently helped a first-time buyer who had been going through the process to secure their first home — which is always a great feeling.

They kindly left this review (see below), and even treated me and Hannah to lunch which was completely unexpected but really appreciated.

Thank you — it genuinely means a lot 🙏

🚨 Big news for buyers: Inflation has dropped to 3%!

If you’re a first-time buyer or planning to move home, this might sound exciting — and it is good news!

Here’s the key:

The Bank of England base rate influences the economy, but it doesn’t directly set fixed mortgage rates.

Any change in rates is just an indication — lenders may take time to adjust, and your deal depends on your personal situation.

So what does this mean for you?
✔️ It’s a sign that the market is moving in a positive direction
✔️ Monthly payments and borrowing power could improve gradually
✔️ Being prepared now puts you ahead

💡 Thinking about buying this year? Let’s check your numbers and options — no pressure, just clarity.

Many buyers see a default on their credit file and immediately assume:

“I’ll have to use a specialist lender.”
“I’ll be stuck with a really high rate.”
“I probably won’t be accepted.”

That’s not always the case.

What really matters is:

✔ How old the default is
✔ Whether it’s been satisfied
✔ How you’ve managed your credit since

The more historic the default — and especially if it’s been settled — the more lender options you may have available.

Some mainstream lenders will consider applicants with older, satisfied defaults at competitive rates.

This week I arranged an Agreement in Principle for a client with a previous default:
✅ Mainstream lender
✅ Competitive rate
✅ 8% deposit

Every case is different, but assumptions can cost you better options.

If you’ve had credit blips in the past, it’s worth having a proper review before assuming you need a specialist lender.

Message me if you’d like to understand where you stand.

January was big——in business and in life.

A quieter month online.
A very full one offline.

Our most successful January to date, helping clients across a wide range of scenarios, including:

Self employed influencer—mortgage offered in 24 hours
First time buyer with late payments— approved
Home mover moving to their forever home using 100% of shift pay— mortgage offered in 24 hours

And alongside all of this, we welcomed our daughter 6 weeks early on the 3rd January 🤍

11 defaults. The most recent being in January.
Still got approved for their first home 🏡

Specialist lenders can make all the difference in scenarios like this and then the right plan can get you back to the high street lender in the future.

🏡 This Week’s Wins

It’s been a busy and rewarding week helping clients move closer to their home and financial goals:

✅ Protected a family’s future — arranged life insurance for first-time buyers to make sure their mortgage debt would be cleared if anything unexpected happened.

✅ Supported first-time buyers — submitted their mortgage application and organised trusted solicitors and surveyors to make the process smoother from start to finish. Mortgage agreed in 3 days.

✅ Saved an existing client money — completed a remortgage application that will reduce their monthly payments by £206 per month!

✅ Helped a young mum buy her first home — arranged a joint borrower, sole proprietor mortgage with her Dad on the mortgage but not the deeds, saving £8,350 in stamp duty tax!

Every client situation is different, and it’s always a buzz to find the right solution for each one.

They applied direct with their own lender and were declined… I got it approved with the same one! ✅

My client tried to move home and port their existing 2.19% mortgage rate, but when they applied directly with their current lender, their application was declined.
They were facing over £7,000 in early repayment charges if they had to take a new mortgage elsewhere 😬

I reviewed their case, reapplied with the same lender, and got it approved 🎉
Now they get to keep their low 2.19% rate and have saved over £7,000 in charges — ready to move forward with their home move stress-free.

If your lender has said “no”, don’t give up — sometimes it just takes the right broker to turn things around.

Struggling to save a big deposit for your first home? 🏡💷
You might not need as much as you think...

With the First Step mortgage, you could buy with just a £5,000 deposit — and borrow up to 98% of the property value.

✔️ Deposits from just £5,000
✔️ Mortgage range: £96,000 to £350,000
✔️ Fixed for 5 years — no surprises
✔️ Get on the ladder sooner and save your cash for moving, furniture, or life!

Let’s say you’re buying at £210,000:
🔹 Standard mortgage needs a £10,500 deposit
🔹 First Step only needs £5,000
= That’s £5,500 less to save
