Every situation is different, and having an IVA doesn't automatically mean homeownership is out of reach. It comes down to things like your current circumstances, affordability, credit profile and finding a lender whose criteria fit your situation.

If you've been putting off speaking to an adviser because you think your financial history will stop you, don't make that decision for yourself.

Have the conversation first. You might have more options than you realise.

I'm always available if you'd like to chat

Every client's circumstances are unique. Mortgage approval is subject to affordability, status and lender criteria.

❌ Not true. Many people buy with a 5% deposit!

Every situation is different, so before you spend another year saving because you think you haven't got enough, have a chat with an adviser. You might be closer than you think.

Have you heard any other mortgage "facts" that you're not sure are actually true? Let me know below 👇🏼

Hi 👋🏼 It’s been a while, and with lots of new faces here recently, I thought it was the perfect time to say hello!

I'm Laura – the face behind Green Olive!

I'm a mortgage and protection adviser who loves helping people navigate what can often feel like a confusing and overwhelming process.

Whether you're buying your first home, moving house, remortgaging or simply wondering what your options are, my job is to make things as simple and stress-free as possible.

As a wife and mum of three, I know just how busy life can be. That's why I believe mortgage advice should fit around you – not the other way around.

You'll never get complicated jargon or a sales pitch from me. Just honest, straightforward advice, plenty of support, and someone at the end of the phone whenever you need them.

When I'm not working, you'll usually find me spending time with my family – whether we're exploring the Yorkshire coast, off on a family adventure, embracing the everyday chaos that comes with three children, or indulging in my latest hobby... playing Pokémon! (Yes, I'm slightly obsessed!)

If you've got a mortgage question, no matter how small you think it is, feel free to get in touch. I'd love to help.

And if you've worked with me before, I'd love it if you said hello in the comments! 🥰

You’ll never regret having life insurance - honestly, it’s one of those things that just gives you peace of mind knowing your family would be protected if the worst ever happened.
It’s not about expecting the worst… it’s about being prepared for it. And that feeling of security? To me - that's worth every penny.

With the mortgage market changing as much as it is right now, waiting until the last minute can be risky.
It’s not just the UK, current global events and uncertainty can impact financial markets, which then feeds into interest rates and mortgage pricing.
If your deal is ending in the next 6 months, you can usually secure a new rate now - and that can make a big difference.

Here’s why:
✔ If rates go up - you’ve already locked something in
✔ If rates go down - we can often switch you to a better deal before completion
✔ It gives you time to plan, rather than rushing into a decision

You’re not committing yourself too early… you’re just giving yourself options.
A lot of people don’t realise this and leave it too late then end up with fewer choices or higher monthly payments.

If your mortgage is due to end this year, it’s definitely worth having a quick review now
