For the fifth straight year Lima Money features in the Vouchedfor Top Advisor list in the Times/Telegraph and Mail on Sunday.

This year is especially pleasing for the team as not only did Liam obtain the accolade, but within our growing team, John Byers, in his first 6 months in the firm also met the qualifying criteria for Top Advisor Status.

We are committed to delivering the best possible outcomes for all our clients no matter their mortgage and protection needs, so much so we entrust VouchedFor, a third party to independently assess our performance by obtaining feedback from our clients. We have no control or influence over this process, and we find our clients’ unguarded and in depth feedback genuinely useful for improving our service moving forward.

All our reviews are in the comment section

A fantastic day yesterday at the UK Finance Lunch 2026. Always a great event, with keynote speakers from leading lenders and the Bank of England, sharing their thoughts for the 2026 outlook.
It’s also a valuable and much needed social event where catching up with colleagues in lenders and fellow brokerages fosters a community feeling in the industry.

Thank you to for hosting us, great to see and other colleagues also

When is the right time to take personal insurance?

The right time is yesterday, and if you haven’t got a protection policy the second best time is today.

We work hard for our lifestyles, to provide for our children, and to maintain our ability to pay our mortgages and rent, but how would you do that if you befell the misfortune of ill health and were unable to work? How would your family cope financially if either you or your spouse died?
If you’ve saved for a deposit in a house it is vital to protect that, with multiple thousands of pounds in the bank that you have worked hard and sacrificed to save, should you become too sick to work, means testing on benefits is likely to mean you would use all the capital saved to supplement your income.

As much as life, critical illness and income protection can be surprisingly reasonably priced, can you afford to not have them?

What are the chances of you needing a policy?

Latest research from Cancer research says that 43% of women and 45% of men will contract cancer in their lifetimes. Almost 1/2. That doesn’t account for other illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, and other critical chronic illnesses

The average life of an income protection claim is 6 years and 9 months according to research done by Liverpool Victoria.

Questions to ask yourself:

1) how long does my sick pay last?
2) how will I pay my bills after my sick pay has ended?
3) how will my family afford to live if I lose my income?
4) how would my family survive if I or my spouse were to die or become seriously ill?

All our protection reviews are free of charge, compassionately conducted, with advice tailored to your circumstances and budget.

We also use cutting edge comparison technology which ensures that we can compare your policy with current offerings, to confirm that you have the best cover possible for you

At Lima Money, we use external review agents VouchedFor to assess our customer satisfaction performance.

We believe that by distancing ourselves from the feedback process that we obtain honest feedback, that reflects our clients true experiences, which in turn embeds a culture of delivering client focussed outcomes.

Our new mortgage advisor John Byers, is just starting on this journey and his first reviews demonstrate that his enthusiasm and energy are transmitting to outcomes he and we can be proud of.

John is able to service all client types from first time buyers, remortgage clients all the way through to later life lending

We’ve been quiet for a while haven’t we?

That’s because we’ve been working hard behind the scenes in order to broaden out our offering. Part of that included switching our network to Cornerstone Finance.
By making that switch, we are now able to offer the following products on top of your standard mortgage and protection offerings:

• bridging loans (including access to our exclusive funding line via cornerstone)
• private health cover
• homeowner loans/secure loans for any legal purpose
• commercial mortgages
• business finance
• vat loans
• corporation tax loans
• asset finance (soft and hard)

By making these changes, we can go some way to ensuring that Lima Money is your one stop shop for property and business finance and protection.
