our story

Our company ethos

Clear and precise mortgage advice - because one size never fits all. At Mortgage Light, our team is the heart of what we do. With a mixed dynamic of skill sets to cover all bases, we cater for all aspects of the mortgage and assurance market.

About us

Mortgage Light started in January 2011 when Owner & Director Siobhan Holbrook left the world of selling properties behind and decided to set up her own brokerage.


Siobhan’s new-build background and years of experience in the property industry left her with an understanding of the importance and effects mortgage services have on people’s lives. This sparked a passion and a vision of building a business based on clear and simple bespoke advice with customer service at the forefront, helping customers move swiftly with minimal stress and delay.


This is why, when you choose Mortgage Light, we work with you as a strategic partner, not just a mortgage adviser. We help you understand how each mortgage decision fits into your bigger financial journey - whether you’re planning to move again, overpay in future, or invest long-term. We don’t just help you get a mortgage, we help you make smart decisions around the property you’re buying.


And because we’re recognised by banks, building societies, housing associations, new build companies and   industry peers as a trusted and knowledgeable voice, we’re often invited to contribute to product design and influence policy, shaping the very market we work in. That means we can often offer access to bespoke products and forward-thinking lending options that aren’t always available elsewhere.

  • What is a mortgage broker?

    A mortgage broker helps you acquire the home you really want. At Mortgage Light, we start by understanding your personal situation - where you are now, what hurdles might be in the way, and what you're aiming for. Then we go to the banks and building societies with your case and come back with options tailored to you.


    Everyone’s got an opinion on mortgages - what product to choose, what rate to lock in, but our advice is tailored to your life. Whether you're buying solo, as a couple or family, or as an investor, we’ll guide you with clear, practical advice that fits your needs. And we don’t just think about this mortgage, we help you plan for the ones to come.


    See some case studies below:


    • A client was relocated for work and needed to rent out their home. We found a lender who allowed consent to let without needing to convert the mortgage to buy-to-let.
    • Another client was due to receive a lump sum and wanted the flexibility to overpay. We matched them with a lender offering an unlimited overpayment facility with no penalties.
    • A client wanted to make their home more energy efficient. We sourced lenders offering interest-free further advances specifically for green upgrades.

    With years of experience, we’re a well-established, respected firm recognised across the property and financial industry. That means we can advocate for you where it matters. Our Director is involved at the top level, influencing mortgage products and shaping industry conversations. Meaning when you choose Mortgage Light, you’re getting more than just mortgage advice. You’re getting a strategic partner who’s got your back.

  • Why use a mortgage broker?

    Mortgages are products, and right now, there are over 25,000 of them on the market. That’s a staggering amount to make sense of. Every bank and building society has different criteria, which can lead to very different outcomes. One lender might offer you £300,000, while another, looking more favourably at your income or bonus structure, might offer £350,000. That’s where having a broker on your side makes all the difference.


    At Mortgage Light, we don’t just look at monthly costs, we look at your whole picture: when sitting with an adviser at Mortgage Light, we have to consider your residential status, how your income is formed (including bonuses or overtime), whether you’re a first-time buyer or remortgaging, and even the type of property you're buying — because all of that can influence what’s available to you. Even buying a home with a higher EPC rating may allow you to borrow more from the lender. And if you've had a minor or major credit blip? It’s our job to source the right lenders to approach.


    The mortgage market can feel like a maze, but you don’t have to go it alone! The purpose of using a mortgage broker is to navigate that maze and find the right product to help you move forward. And that’s exactly what we’re here to do.

  • Why choose us?

    At Mortgage Light, we take the stress out of the mortgage process and work hard to make your experience enjoyable. And we don’t just leave it there, we’re here for the long run, whether that’s helping you remortgage, arrange protection, plan your next move, or just answer the questions that pop up along the way.


    You’ll get professional advice, delivered in plain language and always tailored to you. Our ethos is simple: enjoy the house buying or remortgaging journey, and build a relationship that lasts. We want our clients to know they’ll always have a broker in their corner for as long as they have a mortgage.


    Mortgage Light has been trading for over 15 years, and we are proud to say that many of our first clients still trust our team to this day.
