This brightened my day in this rainy weather. They say we've all got a doppelganger but I didn't think that applied to dogs too! One of these is Gary and the other is my long time customer Reinach. It was hard to tell them apart but thankfully I got the right one when I went in for a belly tickle!

Well that depends what you think is old! People often think that a mortgage has to be paid off by the time they reach state pension age but that isn’t the case. Most lenders will allow you to take a mortgage to age 70 and others will allow you to go to age 75 or even older. And then there other products available where there is no upper age limit. The important thing is that the you can afford the mortgage so lenders will assess your ability to afford the mortgage you want for the term you ask for.

As always, a professional mortgage broker will be able to look at the options available to you and recommend the best deal for you so feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

BIG NEWS!! My new app has gone live! It's called "my mortgage partner" and it's available to all my customers. It's a very easy way of being able to access your documents so you never forget what mortgage you have or when your deal ends. It also gives you a secure way of communicating with me on the chat facility. And if that wasn't enough, there are lots of handy fact sheets and jargon busters if you are in the mood for learning. How do you get it? It's easy, download it from where you get your apps, use the email you gave me and log in with the code you are sent. Give it a try and drop me a message!

It was great seeing possibly my oldest customers, Rich & Karen the other day. We first met 21 years ago at the garlic festival when they were holiday from Bristol and we've been in touch ever since! I must be doing something right if they still pop in to see me (but I expect Gary might be the big attraction these days).

After a few days away with the family I've been trying to get back to doing mortgages but this big lump won't leave me alone! I'm not sure if he's happy to have me back or annoyed for not taking him. Thanks to my dog sitters and newly weds Simon and Lou for looking after Gary while I was away, you've created a monster!

Despite my views on my old employer this is really sad to see. When I started there they were a thriving company but they haven’t changed with the times. There are some good people there but the management have let them down. Even now they try to spin it to make it sound like a locally made decision but head office made this decision because they haven’t made a profit for years. I hope the good ones find work before the ship sinks.

Here’s the latest addition to the gang with Gary getting in on the action too. This is Alan, he’s far too old to be having a mid life crisis but his wife spends a lot of time with her horses so he needs something to do. Welcome to the Mild Hogs Al!

After a relaxing scooter weekend its seems like the whole world wants a mortgage. My phone has been ringing from early morning till the evening so to keep up with demand I've recruited a new adviser. Please welcome Gary the mortgage dog! All set for long days in front of the laptop and ready to help fetch you a great rate!

Just in time for the scooter rally, we have another member of the Mild Hogs! Here's Joe showing what a bunch of badass scooterists we are. I keep getting told off by Mrs H for showing the bins but we tried our best to cover them up this time. Not that we're bothered, we're too tough to care about bins.

It's still early in the week but I've already had four high street lenders email to let me know they are reducing rates. The press is very quick to spread the misery when rates go up but this is some good news that they haven't mentioned. Is this the start of things improving? It's too early to tell but it's definitely welcome news.
