Helping you approach mortgages with clarity and confidence 

Jason enjoys helping to demystify the mortgage landscape, so you’ll find accessible insights on all-things mortgages by reading his guides. 

He’s dedicated to breaking down complicated topics like interest rates, deposits, and lender requirements to help customers make more informed choices about their finances.

Jason’s home buying journey

Jason first stepped onto the property ladder on the shared ownership scheme, allowing him to buy a share of a property to begin with. He’s moved home a few times since then so he has plenty of personal experience of the home buying process. He and his family are now settled in their long-term home - a doer upper with plenty of potential. So, when he’s not advising customers on their mortgage, he’s likely busying himself with a spot of DIY. 

Jason also has property investment experience, giving him a unique perspective on the world of buy-to-let mortgages.

If you’re buying for the first time or even moving home, it’s important to save more than just your deposit. You’ll also need to budget for things like conveyancing costs, moving expenses and potential home repairs. Being prepared and setting some cash aside could help you avoid any nasty surprises.
