Hello and a very warm welcome to today's episode of the Mortgage Mum podcast. Today's episode is a little bit different, and we’re very excited to finally tell you that we have been working on something special at The Mortgage Mum in 2024.

We’re now ready to launch this exciting new space - that we really believe is going to add to The Mortgage Mum service and help you on your finance journey.

The lovely Tessa, who joins us on most episodes, will be interviewing someone different today, a member of our senior team. Please welcome Dinta to the podcast, to open up the conversation about our brand new company coming in 2025. And that is, drum roll, please…..The Mortgage Mum Wealth.

Wealth is a wonderful word suggesting that we have an abundance of financial assets. The wealth space is about pensions, investments, ISAs and all of the different facets that includes.

There are incredible opportunities in this space. The information out there is not being translated in a way people understand. We are so looking forward to being able to do that for you.

To celebrate the launch of The Mortgage Mum Wealth, we are asking Dinta some of the main questions people Google on this topic. So without further ado, let me hand over the episode to the wonderful Dinta and Tessa.

Please send in your wealth questions. Let us know what you want to know more about, and we will cover it in future episodes and on our social media.

Welcome to today's episode of The Mortgage Mum podcast, where we are talking about remortgages. There are 1.6 million of you coming off your fixed rate deals in 2025, so listen to this episode to make sure you're prepared and you’ll know all your options when that time comes.

The remortgage market is set to increase by 33% this year, so it's essential that we cover this topic. So we’re really glad we're talking about it today - as usual, Tessa is going to be posing your questions.

Hello, and welcome to today's episode of The Mortgage Mum podcast, where we’re talking more about remortgaging for debt consolidation.

Some people don't realise that this is an option, and that they can make a long-term plan using their mortgage if they're sitting on lots of debt on credit cards or personal loans. Today, we're going to demystify this topic and hopefully empower you to make the right choice.

As always, Tessa is going to be asking Sarah your questions and Sarah will hopefully give you all the answers you need by the end of this episode.

Welcome to the first episode of 2025 on The Mortgage Mum podcast.

I'm excited about this year. I've got a good feeling. My numerology tells me it's going to be a great year in the property market and for myself, so let's see what happens!

Tessa is here with us again, and we're answering your questions. I'm really excited because this time we're diving into the world of remortgages to give you all the answers if you're self-employed.

Many of these answers will also apply if you're self-employed and just looking for a mortgage of any kind. So listen in and grab your notepad…

Hello and welcome to the Mortgage Mum podcast. It's bittersweet, because this is our last episode relating to contractors.

Tessa is going to be asking me your mortgage questions and this time, we're talking about subcontractors and giving you some clarity on what that means for getting a mortgage.

It's been a good series. I think it's helped a lot of people. A lot of feedback we've had is that we're helping to show the many layers of the contractor world.

Hello and a very warm welcome to you to today's Mortgage Mum podcast.

We are finishing the contractor series with a very important topic. We're talking about CIS mortgages.

These are mortgages designed specifically for those working in the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) - you may not realise that there are special mortgages just for you.

I'm here with the lovely Tessa again, who's going to be asking me your questions!

In this special episode of The Mortgage Mum Podcast, Sarah interview Jon Mathews, Founder & MD of Hawksbeck Annexe and Garden Rooms.

Join us as we take a deep dive into garden rooms and annexes, telling you everything you need to know, including:

• What are the top tips for finding the right builder to create your garden room?
• Do garden rooms add value to your house? What are the red flags when researching?
• Things we never knew we needed to know!
• How you can create an income from your property by building an annexe or a garden room
• As well as hearing some of Jon’s story as a business owner, from an employed finance role in the City to building garden rooms for one of the most well respected brands in the industry

This is an episode not to be missed!

Jon said “I’m Jon, Founder of Hawksbeck Annexes and Garden Rooms. I set up Hawksbeck because there was a real need for people to have a space away from the house to work, rest and play. We have been a pioneer in annex and garden room space, building bespoke outbuildings that will last a lifetime. All our buildings are built to the highest standard using BBA accredited materials. They are design by architects and engineers and meet building regulations. Therefore, they are fully habitable and come with a 10-year insurance backed warranty. I name the company Hawksbeck, as that was my first dogs pedigree name. I absolutely love the dog, and absolutely love the name, so seemed perfect fit to name the company after him. I’m proud that name has now become synonymous with quality, service, and design. I'm passionate about what I do. I love the first meeting with the client, being involved in the design journey with them, overseeing the built process, then they joy and excitement when we handover the keys to a stunning finish product. I often get asked my favourite project, it is always the next project we're about to do. No two builds are the same, no two clients are the same!”
