Meet your Mortgage Adviser

Meet your Mortgage Adviser

We are a small family business operated from the edge of Dartmoor in Tavistock.  We have been good friends since Primary School. We always discussed as kids how we would like one day to run our own business together. We now not only work together… We fell in love, got married and are lucky enough to have a lovely set of twins. It of course has its challenges, but there is nothing more rewarding than being a Mortgage Adviser from home, working for yourself, juggling twins and a Cockapoo called Buddy!

Leanne Borthwick – Mortgage Adviser, Insurance Adviser – 07738 933 806

Leanne started out as a Mortgage Adviser in 2004 working for Fox and Sons Estate Agents in Sussex. After that she became self employed and set up Dartmoor Financial in 2009. Leanne has over 20 years experience as an Adviser and would be happy to look at any situation you may be in. Due to her experience with all sorts of challenging cases, we like to keep her focused on making the difficult and near impossible, possible for our clients and she remains our Senior Adviser.

Stuart Borthwick – Mortgages, Equity Release & Estate Planning – 07894 346 457

Stuart came in via a different route. After 9 Years as an Investment Adviser with Britannia Building Society and then the Co-operative Bank as a Branch Manager, the opportunity arose for Stuart to join Leanne and became part of Dartmoor Financial in 2014. As well as arranging standard mortgages, he specialises in Later Life Lending, and has done for approx. 12 years now so has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in this area. Throughout this period he has been nominated for 3 national awards, and won 2 of them in 2021 and 2023, and was a finalist in 2026.

☀️ Day 1 of the "working summer holidays" and we're already off to a cracking start!Yesterday saw us helping a lovely couple in their seventies secure a remortgage solution without the stress of proving income and despite some historic credit challenges. The later life lending market really has evolved.Then it was straight out for a run with my boy, complete with a cheeky stop at Tavistock Carnival before heading home. 🎡🏃‍♂️ Check out my reimagined Jedi Morris dancers ... As Day 2 begins, I'm back at the desk looking at whether a Retirement Interest Only (RIO) mortgage or a Term Interest Only (TIO) solution is the right fit for my next clients. There are now so many options available for clients in and approaching retirement.A little fact for the day… did you know that some later life products now allow borrowers to make repayments from their own funds without triggering early repayment charges (subject to lender terms and conditions)? Pretty cool when you think how far the market has come.Yes, I'll be busy wearing my "tennis dad" hat over the next six weeks 🎾, but I'm still very much here and available to help.If you, your family, friends or clients would like to discuss later life lending, retirement mortgages or equity release options, please do get in touch. I'm always happy to have a conversation and see whether we can help.#LaterLifeLending #RetirementMortgages #RIO #TIO #EquityRelease #MortgageAdvice #FinancialPlanning #RetirementPlanning #MortgageBroker #Tavistock #DevonBusiness #TennisDad #WorkingSummer #FinancialWellbeing⚠️ Later life lending solutions are subject to status, eligibility and lender criteria. Early repayment charge terms vary between lenders and products. Equity release will reduce the value of your estate and may affect entitlement to means-tested benefits. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage.
