We’re bringing the home-buying journey into one simple app to help people simply take control of their home finances, whatever their starting point.

We don't believe in gate-keeping great mortgage advice 🏠📲

We started this journey because we could see a lack of tailored support helping women overcome the challenges of owning a home so we built a five-star brokerage right from our kitchen table. Launching soon 🚀

Please share to raise awareness 🚩

It’s not all men. But this post isn’t really about men.

It’s about the millions of women living every day with fear, financial control and dependence – and how we can help them.

Economic abuse is a form of domestic abuse.

It’s now recognised in UK law under the Domestic Abuse Act as part of controlling and coercive behaviour.

It can look like: 🚩 questioning every purchase 🚩 controlling access to your money 🚩 taking out joint debt without your agreement 🚩 refusing to sell or remortgage after separation 🚩 making someone financially dependent so they feel unable to leave

Anyone can experience economic abuse, but the data shows women are disproportionately affected.

At Meet Margo, we’re seeing more women coming to us trapped in mortgages they can’t move on from because someone else is controlling the situation.

Together with , we’ve been campaigning for: ✔ better awareness of economic abuse  ✔ better support from mortgage advisers & lenders ✔ more options for victim-survivors ready to start again

If you or someone you know is experiencing economic abuse, support is available at:

Here’s the breakdown 👇

A new mortgage on lender panel could mean you could get a mortgage with a £5k deposit.

We’ve worked out what income you might need to access it and what property price that could support.

Remember, lenders look at more than just income.

Things like loans, car finance, credit cards, childcare costs and regular spend can all impact how much you may be able to borrow.

⚠️ You’ll typically need a strong credit history
⚠️ At least one applicant must be a first time buyer
⚠️ Lending criteria, affordability and property checks all apply

This type of mortgage won’t be for everyone, but for some homebuyers, it could mean getting onto the property ladder sooner.

Got a question about how it works, feel free to

This one touched a nerve 👀

What started as a conversation about splitting the bills quickly turned into a much bigger debate about gender norms, and what fairness actually looks like in a relationship.

The reactions said a lot about the different ways men and women are taught to think about money, and their financial security.

Because while some people saw fairness… to the point questioning it was seen as ‘whining’ or ‘entitled’…

Others saw financial vulnerability.

They’d been burned before.
Or watched friends walk away with nothing after financially contributing for years.

But it begs the question…

If we can’t openly talk about money and feeling financially secure in a relationship, what does that say about the relationship?

Let’s get into it in the comments…

And feeling more in control of your finances, hallelujah 💜

The catch? 👇

⚠️ You’ll need a strong credit history
⚠️ You could borrow is x4.5 your income
⚠️ At least one applicant must be a first time buyer

For many first time buyers the challenge isn’t paying the mortgage, it’s saving the deposit in the first place.

That’s why working with a broker could help you find options you might not know are available to you.

Do you think this will help more first time buyers onto the ladder?

Turns out the village… might actually be other women!

Two single mums in America have started a ‘mommune’ to get through the rising cost of living.

They now live together, split the bills, share childcare and co-parent to reduce burn out and save on the monthly outgoings.

And honestly, they might be onto something.

Because the reality is life on one income is getting harder.

There are 3.2 million single parent families in the UK. 86% of those are led by single mums.

Data also shows women are spending over half (58%) of their income on rent vs 42% for men, which means buying on one income feels out of reach for so many.

But did you know…

Some lenders let you buy with friends - not just couples.

Some even let you combine multiple incomes to help you borrow more.

Maybe it’s one way more women could get on the property ladder.

What do you reckon ladies?

Moving in is a big step, but it pays to have the important conversations first.

Have you ever been in a similar situation? If so, how did you work through it?

Is this what you expected to happen?�
Out of the 9 members on the Bank of England committee, 9 voted to hold the rate at 3.75%.�
The base rate impacts mortgages, loans and savings, but it’s not the full picture.

Mortgage rates are also influenced by swap rates (basically what the market expects to happen next).
�Which is why mortgage rates can move, even when the base rate doesn’t.

So what now if you need a mortgage in the next six months?

If you’re waiting for the “right time”, it’s worth knowing that getting the timing exactly right isn’t always possible.

A few months ago, things were pointing towards steady rate cuts. But conflict in the Middle East has shifted those expectations, with many lenders expecting inflation to rise before easing.

If your mortgage deal ends in the next 6 months, it’s worth understanding your options so you can make a decision that feels right for you.

Not one… not two… but three award nominations at this year’s Mortgage Introducer Awards! 🎉

✨ Broker Firm of the Year (up to 10 advisers) – Meet Margo
✨ Innovator Champion of the Year – Matt Towe

Three short years in, and we’re up for three big awards. Proof that shaking up the industry with our women-first mission (and A LOT of hard work) is getting noticed.

Now to find something sparkly to wear… ✨

Last night was special 🏆🏆

A packed cinema (yes, really).

An award for 'Digital Start-Up of the Year'.

Another for overall 'Start-Up of the Year'.

Next stop: the UK StartUp Awards finals.

But the real moment?

Hearing Professor Dylan Jones-Evans OBE recap some of the things we've achieved since starting Meet Margo in Dec 2022.

It really caught us off guard. Because sometimes it takes someone else’s words to make you pause, and think about the journey you've been on.

I know it’s a bit cliché to say “It’s not about the awards”, but genuinely... this isn't.

It’s about the 15 people who show up for our mission every day.

Every hour of graft. Every “we’ll make it work.” Every ounce of belief poured into rewriting the script for women in homeownership.

We’re so SO proud, and deeply grateful, for our 'wee team'.

None of this would be possible without them.
