With the cost-of-living putting pressure on household finances, making sure you’re on the most suitable mortgage deal has never been more important.

And whilst mortgage rates are higher and unpredictable, reviewing your mortgage early can make a real difference.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is reviewing their mortgage too late when their fixed rate period ends.

If you don’t start reviewing your options early enough, there may not be enough time to switch to a new lender and secure a better rate that could save you money on your monthly payments. This can leave people overpaying by staying with their current lender.

The good news is that you can often secure a new mortgage deal around 3–6 months before your current rate ends.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹:

✔️ It gives you time to search properly and secure the right deal for you available at that time

✔️ If rates increase before your new mortgage starts, securing that lower rate earlier will save you money

✔️ If rates reduce before the new mortgage starts, you can still be able to switch onto a lower rate

✔️ Securing the right deal early could potentially save you money and give you more certainty over your monthly payments

Every mortgage is different because every customer is different.

Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing a few real customer stories. Whether you're buying your first home, moving or remortgaging, I hope hearing about their experience’s answers a few of the questions you might have and helps you feel a bit more confident about the process.

This is Sharon's story...

𝙄'𝙙 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩. 𝙄 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙞𝙩.

We started with a chat about what Sharon wanted, what she felt comfortable paying each month and what she could realistically borrow.

𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙖𝙛𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙄 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙨. 𝙊𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙬𝙚'𝙙 𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩, 𝙍𝙮𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝘿𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚. 𝙃𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙩, 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙛𝙪𝙡, 𝙖𝙨 𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙗𝙪𝙮𝙚𝙧.

Sharon soon found the new-build she'd been looking for and from there it was about finding the right mortgage.

Rather than looking at just one bank, I compared mortgages from a wide range of lenders, looking at interest rates, affordability and lending criteria before deciding on the one that best suited Sharon.

𝙍𝙮𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙝𝙚'𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙜𝙖𝙜𝙚, 𝙨𝙤 𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 - 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙜𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙚.

Once everything was submitted, things moved quickly and there were lots of different people involved.

𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙞𝙩 𝙄 𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙙𝙖𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙪𝙙𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙚. 𝙍𝙮𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙠𝙚𝙥𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧, 𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙤𝙧, 𝙠𝙚𝙥𝙩 𝙢𝙚 𝙪𝙥𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙.

After just 4 weeks after having her offer accepted, Sharon moved in.

🏡 𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆? Hopefully this helps!!

There’s a lot to think about when buying your first house. It’s probably one of the biggest financial decisions of your life, so I’m sharing five tips to help you make sure you find the perfect home.

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱

We’d all love our first home to be our dream home, but being a first-time buyer often involves compromises when it comes to size, features and location. Keep an open mind and don’t be afraid to view houses that don’t tick all your boxes.

𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁

Estate agents can be a treasure trove of knowledge and expertise. They’ll give you a good idea of the properties available in your area, help you narrow your search and assess whether your budget will get you the kind of house you’re looking for.

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲

You can change a lot about a house, but you can’t change the location. It’s worth identifying three to four local areas you like based on what’s important to you, like commute time, schools and amenities.

𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀

Search websites like Zoopla and Rightmove are now the first port of call for many buyers. Most give you a wide range of options that allow you to filter by size, features, location, ownership and many more.

𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗿

Mortgage advisers help you find the right mortgage product, but they can also help before you get to that stage. They’ll work with you to establish a budget and set savings goals, which help give you an idea of what you can afford and how long it might take to gather a deposit.

If you’d like more info, just DM Ryan Hanson or text me on 07539 101208 and I can talk you through the different options and help you take that first step.

𝗜𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲?

You’re not alone, around 1.8 million fixed-rate mortgages are due to expire, meaning many homeowners will soon be reviewing their monthly payments and next steps.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀:

Mortgage rates have been easing, so if you’re coming off a 2-year fixed deal, your new rate may be better than expected.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗮 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

Rates are still higher than they were five years ago, meaning those finishing a 5-year fixed deal could see a noticeable jump in monthly payments if they don’t plan ahead.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄:

You can usually secure a new rate 3–6 months before your current deal ends.

• Locking in early protects you if rates rise
• If rates fall, you may still be able to switch to a better deal before completion

Getting organised early can make a real difference to your monthly costs and peace of mind.

If your mortgage deal is ending this year and you’d like friendly, local guidance with dedicated support, feel free to message me and I’ll happily help you explore your options. Through TruLife Financial, I have access to 70+ lenders, helping ensure you find a deal that’s right for your situation.

🏡 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞:
𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞

When I was doing my mortgage qualifications, I was one of the youngest on the course. A lot of the others had already bought their own homes, so they’d lived through the process. I hadn’t — and it made me realise something…

There must be so many people saving a deposit, wanting to get on the property ladder, scrolling through houses online every night — but not really sure where to start, or who to ask.

And it’s very normal to feel like buying a home is something “grown-ups just know how to do.”

But it isn’t.

It’s something you learn, and you’re allowed to ask questions.

That’s where an 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 (𝐀𝐈𝐏) comes in.

❓ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞?

In simple terms, it’s a quick check that shows how much a lender may be willing to lend you based on your income and situation.

It isn’t the full mortgage application.
It isn’t a commitment.
It simply gives you a real figure, so you know where you stand.

🏠 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩?

When you view a house you like, having an AIP means you’re taken seriously.

It shows:
• You’re ready
• You can afford to buy
• You’re in a position to put in an offer

It puts you one step ahead of anyone looking without one.

📑 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞?

Usually just:
• Last 3 payslips
• ID
• A quick chat about your situation

Nothing complicated. Nothing intimidating.

🤝 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩

I’ll explain everything in plain English and guide you at your pace.

We’ll work out what you could borrow, get your Agreement in Principle sorted, and make sure you feel confident when you start viewing properties.

And here’s the important part:

When you find the right place and your offer gets accepted, we’ve already done the groundwork.

So we can move straight into the full mortgage application — and I’ll handle that with the same approach:
• Clear explanations
• Regular updates
• Checking the market across our lender network
• Finding a suitable rate and terms that fit your needs and plans

No jargon.
No judgement.
No pressure.

Just proper support, start to finish.

📅 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠

Even if it’s months away, now is a great time to get yourself into a strong position.

Send me a message if you’d like to talk it through.
Genuinely happy to help — even if you just want to understand your options.

🏡 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠? 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠

One of the most common questions I get asked is:
“𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬?”

A good guide is 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝟔 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬.

This gives you time to:
• Look at what your current lender is offering
• Compare it to what’s available elsewhere
• Decide what makes the most sense for you
All 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝.

This matters because once your fixed deal ends, you normally move onto your lender’s Standard Variable Rate, which is usually higher — meaning your monthly payments can increase.

📈 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭?

If interest rates are changing (up or down), being prepared gives you choices.

Working with a mortgage adviser means we can:
✔️ Search across a wide range of lenders, not just your current bank
✔️ Check whether your situation now means you qualify for better rates (your loan-to-value often improves over time)
✔️ Secure a new rate early so you’re protected if rates increase
✔️ And if rates drop after we’ve secured one, we can re-apply at the lower rate so you don’t miss out

In short:
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐟 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞.

💷 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲

As you pay your mortgage down (and hopefully your house value increases), your Loan-to-Value (LTV) improves.

A better LTV often means:
• Better rates
• Better monthly payments
• Better long-term savings

Even a small shift in interest rate can make a noticeable difference over the year — and over the full term.

🔍 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬…

It can also be a good time to review your mortgage protection.

Your circumstances may have changed since you last sorted it, and making sure your home is protected if something unexpected happens is just as important as getting the mortgage rate right.

No pressure — it’s just worth checking when you’re already reviewing things anyway.

📅 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝟔–𝟖 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬…

Even if you’re just curious about what your options look like, I’m always happy to talk things through.

I’ll explain everything in plain English, look at what makes sense for your situation, and help you put yourself in the best position — whether that means staying where you are or switching lender.

One thing I’ve learned already is that everyone’s situation is different. Buying for the first time, moving home, or reviewing your mortgage when a fixed rate ends — it’s never just numbers on a screen. It’s plans, timing, budgets, families, work and everyday life.

My job is to get to know your situation properly, understand what matters to you, and help you find a mortgage that fits your life — not the other way around.

I’m fortunate to be part of Trulife Financial, which means there’s a strong team and support structure behind me. And because Trulife is an Appointed Representative of The Openwork Partnership, I have access to a wide network of mortgage lenders. This allows me to compare a broad range of options to find something suitable for your individual circumstances — rather than being limited to one bank or one place.

Those of you who know me, know that I’m conscientious, I care, and I always want to do my best for people. I’ll take the time to explain things clearly, answer questions honestly, and make the process feel less overwhelming.

So whether you are:
• Buying your first home and want to go into viewings with confidence
• Coming to the end of your current mortgage and want to review your options
• Or thinking about moving and want the process to feel smoother and clearer

I’m here to help.

If you’d like to talk things through — even just to get a sense of where you currently stand — feel free to drop me a message. No pressure and no obligation at all.

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.
