Three guides. The essentials, nothing you don't need.
I wrote these because the same questions come up on every first call, and it's better to have the answers in front of you before we speak. Each one is a short PDF. Each explains how things generally work, in the right order, so you walk into the process knowing what matters. None of them is advice; your situation is the conversation.
Your First Home
For first-time buyers. The words you'll hear over and over, the ten steps from “how much can I borrow?” to keys in hand, the three numbers that decide what's possible, what your bank statements look like to a lender, the costs nobody warns you about, and the part most first-time buyers skip: protecting the home once you've bought it.
Your Next Home
For anyone moving. What's changed since your last mortgage, the four numbers that decide what's possible, porting against a fresh deal, managing the chain, what to do if your buyer pulls out, and whether the cover you set up last time still fits.
Your First Investment
For a first buy-to-let. What you want the property to do for you, how rent-based lending works, the costs, personal name or limited company, the landlord rules after the 2026 changes, and protecting the investment.
What happens when you ask for one
You put in your first name, mobile and email. The guide opens straight away. I'll aim to message you on WhatsApp within one working day to see whether anything in it raised a question, and that's it. No chasing, nothing to commit to.
And the budget planner
The budget planner is the sheet I use in appointments, as a page you can fill in on your phone. It adds up your income and spending and shows what's left each month, and nothing you type is sent anywhere. Fill it in before we speak and we start further ahead.
