Hello from the team at Mortgages in Lincoln! It’s been a full-on week here, with holiday preparations, proud moments, and exciting milestones reached for both clients and team members. As always, we’ve been working hard to help people across Lincolnshire and beyond move one step closer to their homeownership goals.
Colin
It’s not often you get to say this, but this week I helped our oldest first-time buyer of the year secure a mortgage at 62 years old. It just goes to show that it’s never too late to take your first step onto the property ladder.
I also worked with a client who only had a £5,000 deposit and we still managed to get a mortgage accepted.
And a final highlight: helping a long-standing tenant with credit issues buy their council house. With the right advice and support, even the most complex circumstances can be turned into success stories.
Sarah
As I prepare to head off on annual leave, I’ve been tying up loose ends by getting protection paperwork completed for clients who are due to complete while I’m away, and making sure all mortgage documents are in order. It’s been a whirlwind of activity, but it’s great to know everything’s lined up so clients can complete smoothly while I enjoy a little break!
Carrie
With holiday season in full swing, it’s been all systems go this week. We’ve got three team members off over the next couple of weeks, but the rest of us are holding the fort and ready to help both new and existing clients. We might be a bit lean on numbers, but we’re big on service and always happy to help.
Amy
This week has been all about mentoring. I’ve been showing our new starter, Lara, how our various lender systems work, each one with its own little quirks.
I also submitted my final mortgage case for CAS sign-off, which is the last step before becoming a fully competent adviser. Fingers crossed for a smooth review. Once that’s complete, the real training begins!
And Finally…
With Sarah and Colin heading off on holiday, things are set to get even busier around here. But we’ve got a wonderful client base, and we’re confident they’ll be gentle with us while we navigate the next couple of weeks with a slightly smaller crew.
If you’re thinking about buying your first home, remortgaging, or need advice on protection or credit challenges, we’re here to help with warmth, clarity and decades of experience.
