Expert guidance, no jargon, just heart

"Beth is an excellent mortgage advisor! I came to Beth after four different advisors were not able to help me and I already thought to give up. Beth provided excellent communication and consideration of my needs. The whole process was quick and easy, which took me by surprise, as previously working with other mortgage advisors I didn't achieve anything. I will recommend Cariad Mortgage Solutions to anyone."

Ekaterina Shekhter

"Highly recommend Beth as a first time buyer I was confused at the whole mortgage process. Beth explained everything down to the letter and really took the time to get to know me and my situation, helping me pick a mortgage deal that was best suited to me and explained future steps as well top service Thanks again."

Dafydd Richmond

"Amazing mortgage advice. Beth got us a fantastic deal, and made sure we understood every part of the process. As first time buyers we had no idea what we were doing. But Beth was amazing and explained everything to us. We found it easy to keep in touch and she was very responsive. She really put our minds at ease in what is a stressful time. We cannot recommend her enough. If you’re buying a property, you need to contact Cariad mortgage solutions."

Let's make your mortgage journey simple and stress-free

Your mortgage advice should never be a one-size-fits-all approach; it needs to be tailored to you, your dreams, and your goals. It's about finding the right path with someone who truly understands the weight of this decision. After all, this isn’t just about numbers, it’s about your future.

No two clients are the same, and neither are our solutions. We take the time to understand your goals, whether you’re buying your first home, remortgaging, or navigating complex income. You’ll get advice that’s personal, practical, and right for your situation, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Stress-free process from start to finish

Mortgages can be overwhelming, but they don’t have to be. We’ll break everything down into clear steps, chase documents on your behalf, liaise with solicitors, and keep you updated throughout. You can relax knowing someone’s in your corner, doing the legwork for you.

Independent, honest and always on your side

We’re not tied to any one lender, which means we work for you, not a bank. Our advice is based on what’s genuinely best for you. No pressure, no jargon, no hidden agenda. Just honest guidance with your best interest at heart.

FAQs

Understanding the mortgage process is tricky business. Take a look at the questions we often get asked. Have a question of your own? Please, get in touch.

Do you charge fees for your services?

Yes, I do charge a fee for mortgage advice, and this will depend on your individual circumstances. I’ll always be transparent about any costs from the outset, so there are no surprises.

How much can I borrow, and what will it cost?

This depends on your income, credit history, deposit, and overall financial position. I’ll assess your affordability and provide clear guidance on what you can borrow, what your repayments might be, and any associated costs.

How do you differ from going directly to a bank?

Unlike a bank, which can only offer their own products, I search a wide range of lenders to find the most suitable mortgage for you. You also get personalised support throughout – no call centres, no being passed around, just me by your side.

What types of mortgages do you offer?

I advise on a full range of mortgage types – including fixed, variable, tracker, interest-only, offset, buy-to-let, and equity release. Whatever your needs, I’ll help you find the right fit.

Can you assist with remortgaging or buy-to-let properties?

Absolutely. I regularly help clients remortgage for better deals, home improvements or debt consolidation – as well as investors looking to expand or refinance their property portfolios.

Do you offer protection or insurance advice?

Yes and it’s a vital part of the service. I offer tailored advice on life insurance, critical illness cover, income protection, and family income benefit, making sure you and your loved ones are protected, whatever happens.

What documents do I need to provide?

Typically, I’ll need proof of ID, proof of address, payslips or self-employed accounts, bank statements, and evidence of your deposit. Don’t worry, I’ll give you a personalised checklist to make it easy.

How do I start the process, and what’s the next step?

Just get in touch for a free, friendly chat. We’ll go through your plans, I’ll explain your options, and if you're happy to move forward, I’ll handle the paperwork and support you every step of the way.

Are you regulated, and can I trust your services?

Yes – I am authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), under reference number 1031774. You can feel confident knowing you’re receiving advice from a qualified professional who’s held to the highest standards of ethics, transparency, and client care.

What happens if I miss mortgage payments?

Missing payments can have serious consequences, including damage to your credit file or risk of repossession. If you're struggling, speak to your lender as soon as possible – and I can also point you toward support and solutions.

Have a question about your mortgage application?

Get in touch with all your mortgage questions. Prefer to talk in person? Arrange a call and we can chat through your needs in more detail.
