Glenn Whitfeld - Mortgage & Protection Adviser

30/10/2026

🏡 CORNWALL ESTATE AGENTS – GOT A BUYER STRUGGLING WITH THEIR MORTGAGE?
Or perhaps you're looking for a mortgage adviser who actually keeps you updated?
Let's talk business! 🤝
I'm looking to build relationships with estate agents across Cornwall who want a reliable mortgage and protection adviser working alongside them.

Here's what I can offer:

✅ BUYER QUALIFICATION – helping establish realistic borrowing budgets before buyers make offers.
✅ TRICKY CASES WELCOME – self-employed, contractors, company directors, adverse credit and complex income. Sometimes a second opinion makes all the difference.
✅ 100+ LENDERS – access to a broad range of high street and specialist lenders, helping explore options for buyers whose circumstances aren't straightforward.
✅ COMMUNICATION – regular updates, straightforward answers and no unnecessary chasing, with appropriate client consent.
✅ MORE THAN JUST MORTGAGES – residential, buy-to-let, specialist finance and protection advice.

Here's the important bit...

I'm not looking for dozens of estate agent partnerships where we exchange business cards and never speak again.

I'm looking for a handful of genuine working relationships where we can support each other, look after our clients and help keep property transactions moving.

Whether you've got a buyer struggling with their mortgage or you're simply looking for a dependable adviser to work alongside, I'd love to have a conversation.

📩 Estate agents, branch managers and agency owners across Cornwall – drop me a message or call me for a chat on 07722 187410

Let's build something that works for both of us.

🏡 YOUR MORTGAGE RATE ENDING IN THE NEXT 6 MONTHS?

Why wait and gamble on what rates might do? 👀

Did you know you could secure a new mortgage deal up to 6 months before your current rate expires?

✅ Know your worst-case scenario – Secure a rate now so you know what your future payments could look like.

✅ Take advantage if rates fall – If a better deal becomes available before completion, we can look at switching to it.

✅ Protect yourself if rates rise – You've already got a deal secured, subject to the lender's conditions.

✅ More flexibility, less uncertainty – We can keep reviewing the market right up until your new mortgage completes.

💡 Think of it this way: You're securing a backup plan today, without missing out if better opportunities come along.

📩 Mortgage deal ending within 6 months? Drop me a message and let's get ahead of the game!

⚠️ Not all lenders allow rates to be secured 6 months in advance. Offers, deadlines and the ability to switch products vary by lender. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

🚨 LTD COMPANY DIRECTORS – ARE YOU PAYING FOR LIFE INSURANCE OUT OF YOUR OWN POCKET?

💷 You could be missing out on valuable tax savings!

Did you know that if you run a limited company, you could potentially have your life insurance paid for by your business instead?

It's called Relevant Life Insurance, and it's one of the benefits many company directors don't realise is available to them.

✅ Corporation tax relief – premiums can usually be treated as a tax-deductible business expense.

✅ Company pays the premiums – rather than you paying from your personal, after-tax income.

✅ No benefit-in-kind tax – you won't normally pay personal income tax or National Insurance on the premiums.

✅ Protect your family – a qualifying policy can provide a tax-free lump sum to your loved ones if you die.

✅ Inheritance tax advantages – the payout is normally held in trust, outside your estate.

💡 You're already working hard to make your business profitable. Why not make your life insurance more tax-efficient too?

Whether you're a company director, contractor operating through a limited company or a small business owner, Relevant Life Insurance could be worth considering.

📩 Message me or give me a call on 07722187410 and I'll explain how it works and whether you could benefit.

⚠️ Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances, HMRC rules and how the policy is structured. Corporation tax relief is not guaranteed. Cover is subject to eligibility and underwriting. Policies have no cash-in value, and if premiums stop, cover will cease.

🚨 IF YOU DIED TOMORROW, COULD YOUR FAMILY AFFORD TO STAY IN THEIR HOME?

These UK statistics should make every parent stop and think. 👇

❌ 54% of adults don't have life insurance.

❌ 39% of parents have neither life insurance nor death-in-service cover.

🏠 42% of parents with a spouse say their partner couldn't afford the mortgage or rent on one income.

💔 Around 26,900 parents die every year, leaving dependent children behind.

And here's perhaps the most frightening statistic...

⚠️ Only 30% of couples with children have enough life insurance.

Now imagine your family dealing with the heartbreak of losing you, only to discover they can no longer afford the mortgage, household bills or their current standard of living.

You insure your car. 🚗

You insure your home. 🏡

You might even insure your phone. 📱

But have you protected the one thing your family relies on most — YOU?

❤️ Life insurance can't replace you. But it could help your loved ones stay in their home, pay the bills and maintain financial security when they need it most.

The question isn't whether you can afford life insurance. It's whether your family could afford for you not to have it.

📩 Message or call me on 07722187410 for a free, no-obligation life insurance review.

⚠️ YOUR MORTGAGE ISN’T THE BIGGEST THING YOU NEED TO PROTECT. YOUR INCOME IS.

Most people insure their home, car, phone and pets without thinking twice.

But what happens if the person paying for all of them suddenly can’t work, becomes seriously ill, or dies?

Some uncomfortable UK statistics 👇

🎗️ Nearly 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime.
(Cancer Research UK)

💷 42% of UK adults couldn’t cover their living costs for 3 months if they lost their main household income.

Even more worrying…

🚨 9% couldn’t cover their living costs for ONE WEEK.
(FCA Financial Lives Survey)

And these policies really do get used.

In 2025, UK protection insurers paid out £7.84 BILLION to people dealing with death, serious illness and injury.

That’s around £21.5 MILLION every single day.

And 97.9% of individual protection claims were paid.
(Association of British Insurers)

So what can you actually protect?

❤️ Life Insurance
If you die, it can provide your family with a lump sum to help clear the mortgage and protect their financial future.

🩺 Critical Illness Cover
A lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a qualifying serious illness — giving you money when your focus should be on getting better.

💰 Income Protection
If illness or injury stops you working, this can provide a regular monthly income to help keep the mortgage, bills and everyday expenses paid.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Income Benefit
Instead of one large lump sum, it can provide your family with a regular income if you die during the policy term.

The question isn’t simply:

“Can I afford protection?”

It’s also:

“How long could my family afford for me NOT to be protected?”

If your income stopped tomorrow, would your household cope for:

1 week?
1 month?
3 months?
A year?

If that question makes you uncomfortable, it may be worth reviewing what protection you already have — and where the gaps are.

📩 Message me for a protection review.

Protection policies have exclusions and limitations and may not pay out in all circumstances. Cover should be based on your individual needs, circumstances and budget.

🛡️ HIGH, MEDIUM OR LOW — WHAT LEVEL OF PROTECTION ARE YOU AT?

If something happened to you tomorrow, how confident are you that you and your family would be financially okay?

🔴 LOW PROTECTION
No life cover, no critical illness cover and no income protection.

One serious illness, accident or death could have a major impact on your finances.

🟠 MEDIUM PROTECTION
You have some cover in place, but there may be gaps.

You might have life insurance through work, but what happens if you can't work? Or perhaps you have life cover but no critical illness or income protection.

🟢 HIGH PROTECTION
Your cover has been properly considered around your circumstances, including:

✅ Your income
✅ Your mortgage
✅ Your family
✅ Critical illness
✅ Your ability to work
✅ What happens if you die

The question isn't whether you have protection.

It's whether you have **enough of the right protection.

💬 Which category would you fall into — HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW?

If you're not sure, it's worth reviewing what you already have and identifying any gaps.

📩 Message me for a protection review or call me on 07722187410

Protection is subject to eligibility and underwriting. Terms, conditions and exclusions apply. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

🚨 Mortgage renewal coming up in the next 6 months? Don’t wait.

What if you could lock in a mortgage rate now… but still take advantage if rates fall before your current deal ends?

You potentially can. 👇

We can look at securing a rate with another lender now, giving you a worst-case position to fall back on.

Then, if rates improve over the coming months, we can review your options and potentially move you onto a lower rate — even with your existing lender.

🔒 Secure now
📉 Keep an eye on rates
🔄 Switch if a better deal becomes available

And we can often make changes right up until around 2 weeks before completion.

So if your mortgage deal ends in the next 6 months, don’t leave it until the last minute.

📩 Message me today and let’s see what you could secure.

⚠️ Warning: Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. The availability of mortgage products and rates is subject to lender criteria and individual circumstances. There is no guarantee that a lower rate will be available in the future.

**SELF-EMPLOYED? YOUR INCOME MAY BE WORTH MORE TO A LENDER THAN YOU THINK 👀**

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is:

**“I’m self-employed, so lenders will only use my salary.”**

Not necessarily.

Different lenders can assess self-employed income in very different ways, including:

💷 **Salary + dividends**
Some lenders use your salary and dividends, while others may take a different approach.

📈 **Average of your last 2–3 years**
Some lenders will average your profits, while others may focus on your latest year.

🚀 **Latest year’s income**
If your income has increased, some lenders may use your most recent figures rather than an average.

🏦 **Retained profits**
For limited company directors, certain lenders may consider retained profits when assessing affordability.

👔 **Contractor income**
Contractors can sometimes be assessed using their day rate rather than traditional self-employed accounts.

📊 **Sole trader profits**
Lenders can differ on whether they use net profit, taxable income or other figures shown in your accounts/tax calculations.

And that’s before you get into **different rules for directors, shareholders, contractors, partnerships and LLPs.**

So if one lender says **“you can’t borrow enough”**, that doesn't necessarily mean your mortgage options have ended.

**The key is finding a lender whose income assessment fits your circumstances.**

Self-employed and thinking about buying or remortgaging?

📩 **Drop me a message or call me on 07722187410 and I’ll take a look at your figures and explain what may be possible.**
