Many of you will know me in the Brighton and Hove area as I have been an advisor at a Global bank for 20 years. A couple of things I have learnt over these years is how much I love helping my customers and how I love the challenge of finding a way to help them however complicated or impossible it may originally seem.
The one part missing for me as a mortgage and protection adviser was being tied to one bank, so with my colleague I have started my dream and set up my own business. Now I can still see and help you all but with a greater range of solutions.
I am CeMAP qualified.
I have worked for a global bank for the last 30 years helping clients to secure a range of mortgages and protection. So why then did I give up the security of working for a Bank to start up Glass Lake Finance?
Glass Lake Finance was launched as I believe that I can offer a better service to you by being an independent, whole of market company. Since the financial crash of 2008 mortgage lending rules have become considerably tighter, as a result affordability tests are now much stricter, with lenders now checking borrowers monthly incomings and outgoings rather than just how much you earn.
I’ve seen first hand the frustration of clients who’ve only had access to one lender, now by working with me and my colleagues at GLF you will have access to a whole of market service, enhancing your chances of securing the best mortgage for you at the best rate and with the minimum of fuss.

Buying or moving property is such a big event in your life that you need someone great holding your hand through the process. That is exactly what Simon offers. He makes everything clear and simple and offers a personal experience that lets you know he has your best interest at heart.
There is nothing that Simon doesn’t know about the Mortgage World and with that knowledge and talent he helps you tailor make the best options for you and your family. I always come away feeling like I’m in the safest hands, Simon makes everything uncomplicated, easy and fun!
We have used Simon for all our mortgage needs over the years from helping us get our first home to just recently our next family home. He is extremely helpful and really adds the personal touch. Highly recommended.
Simon is gifted when it comes to helping others. We were in a difficult situation when we approached him after exhausting all our options with other mortgage lenders. Interestingly, he saw us with our one year old boy and could guess our situation. He seemed to have thought through the solution for us before we even shared our circumstances. We were so relived after talking our heart out with him and he provided an opportunity to reduce our monthly mortgage commitment to half of that what we were supposed to pay after our existing deal runs out. This all seemed like a miracle because market rates were almost double when our mortgage was coming for renewal. He talked us through different ways of paying our mortgage till our boy is 3 years and we have childcare commitments. I am sure that with his experience and knowledge he can think of out of the box solutions which are not common in mortgage world. We have benefited a lot after discussing our mortgage with him and always recommend him to our family and friends.
Simon was very helpful and informative. Made what had been a difficult process dealing directly with the banks much easier. Thoroughly recommend him to anyone needing a mortgage.
