Clare is the newest addition to our team, having joined us in 2018. She is an experienced consultant and has worked in the Financial Services industry for 12 years. In that time, Clare’s passion for helping people meant she naturally gravitated towards consulting on mortgages.
Clare is married with two children – outside of work, she loves spending time outdoors with her family and walking with their dog. Her role as a mortgage consultant at Key Mortgage Advice involves travelling between our offices in Preston and Garstang, discussing clients’ needs and circumstances, and helping them to find the best possible mortgage product:
Which part of your job as a mortgage consultant do you enjoy most?
When I help someone achieve the purchase of their first property or dream property. The journey to get there can often be long and stressful, so when you can step in and help in the process, it gives you real satisfaction in your job.
What do you like about Preston and what makes it attractive to house hunters?
I think what makes it most attractive to house hunters is that it’s a great central place for commuting to many of the major North West cities, without the high cost of living in one of them. Of course, it’s also attractive to potential landlords with its large university campus.
As for what I like about the area, I just love the people here and the fact that there’s always something interesting going on in the city.
What’s your top piece of advice for those about to apply for their first mortgage?
Come and speak to us in order to understand your borrowing capacity. Also, take a look at your credit report and try to reduce your outstanding debt as much as you can. That way, you’ll have the best possible chance of being accepted for a mortgage loan.
