About
A mortgage specialist with more than 20 years’ experience in the financial services industry, Brian is a specialist in a range of protection and mortgage advice areas. Having gained expertise over seven years at ethical finance society Friends Life, Brian joined the Financial Options Group in 2018 as Mortgage & Protection Adviser. Brian is committed to helping first-time buyers to find suitable mortgages, and helping those who already have a mortgage save more money. He has a passion for Buy to Let investment and enjoys working with clients to build their portfolios in line with their objectives. Brian believes the key to being a good adviser is having a high level of technical knowledge but more importantly the ability to listen and connect with what really matters to clients and to communicate the mortgage process and next steps clearly. Brian no longer holds the Equity release licence but also cannot provide advice on second charge, so cannot provide advice in all areas. Your home or other property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. Some buy to let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
