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.

🎅 CHRISTMAS IS HERE!Well… according to The Range anyway 😂More importantly, that means winter isn't far behind.I'm not suggesting for one second that people should automatically borrow money to help with the colder months.But if you're over 50, own your home and you're worried about your finances this winter, surely it's worth finding out what options are available?There are different forms of later life lending, and borrowing isn't going to be right for everyone.The answer might well be no.But let's understand it first.Know before saying no.#LaterLifeLending #EquityRelease #LifetimeMortgage #RetirementMortgage #RIO #MortgageAdvice #KnowBeforeSayingNo ...

When Plan A doesn't work out, it's good to have Plan B ready! 🤝A big shout-out to Dan at Applicant Mortgage Brokers, who's been working hard to find the right mortgage solution for his client.Unfortunately, after being given incorrect information, the original lender is now unable to help.But Dan had already brought me in as a potential backup, just in case.So rather than leaving the client wondering what to do next, we've been able to arrange a smooth handover to explore a lifetime mortgage instead.We're booked in for first thing Tuesday morning to get things moving!Because we both work within HL Partnership, we can also securely share the client's existing documents, with the appropriate permissions, saving time and unnecessary duplication.This is what working together is all about. Different brokers, different specialisms, but the same goal: helping our clients find the right solution. 😊#LaterLifeLending #MortgageAdvice #EquityRelease #WorkingTogetherDartmoor Financial LLP is an appointed representative of HL Partnership Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.A lifetime mortgage is a loan secured against your home. Interest can roll up, increasing the amount owed and reducing the value of your estate. Equity release may affect your entitlement to means-tested benefits. Independent legal advice is required. ...
