Something I’m seeing a lot lately 👀

Very cautious property valuations from mortgage lenders.

A valuation is simply the lender deciding what THEY believe the property is worth before lending against it.

Problem is, I’m regularly seeing valuations come in below estate agent figures and agreed sale prices.

This is where good advice matters.

Knowing which lenders are cautious, spotting risks early, managing expectations, and challenging valuations where possible can save deals from falling apart.

If you are curious about your property’s value, give me a call.

Proud to officially become part of the Doncaster Chamber of Commerce 🤝

Although Barnsley will always be home, there’s no denying Doncaster is seeing some exciting growth and opportunity at the minute.

From the continued regeneration of the city centre, investment around Doncaster Sheffield Airport, growth in logistics and commercial sectors, and major housing developments across the borough, there’s a real momentum building.

Looking forward to building more connections across the area and supporting more people with their mortgage, property, and protection needs throughout Doncaster and South Yorkshire 📈

We don’t just help with mortgages and protection…

We’ve all watched Homes Under the Hammer and thought…
“that looks easy enough.”

And to be fair, done right, auction properties can be great opportunities.

But what you don’t always see:

💸 Upfront fees that are non-refundable
🏡 Not every property will get a mortgage straight away
🔧 Some need work before lenders will touch them
⏱️ And 56 days goes a lot quicker than you think

That said…

✔️ There are ways to structure it if it won’t mortgage straight away
✔️ Options to improve and refinance later
✔️ Different lenders depending on the property

The key is having a plan before you bid.

If you’ve seen one and aren’t not sure where you stand, I’m happy to take a look 👍🏻

There’s always scepticism when making financial decisions quickly… and I get it.

No one wants to be ripped off , take that from a tight Yorkshireman.

But in 2022, mortgage rates went from around 2% to over 6% in less than a year.

The people waiting for the “perfect” time?
Ended up paying the price.

If it’s on your mind, it’s worth getting ahead of it. Drop me a message 👍🏻

Setting life insurance to match your mortgage term?

Sounds logical… but it’s flawed.

👉 9 in 10 cancers are diagnosed after 50
👉 Stroke risk rises sharply after 50
👉 Heart attack risk increases significantly after 50

So if your mortgage ends at 50…
Your cover is stopping right as the real risks begin.

Worth a review!
