“When it comes to moving forward with a mortgage, I always lay out different lending scenarios for my clients.
If the modelling around some of those scenarios doesn’t align with a client’s objectives – which could be financial or lifestyle-related – then we’ll have a transparent discussion about which type of loan is best for them.
It's about securing the right mortgage, not the largest one available.”
