From the makers of Hat and Home, we bring you Milliner Financial Services
Milliner Financial Services is a mortgage and protection broker brought to you from the makers of Hat and Home.
Focused on a fantastic customer experience, the business is committed to creating life-long relationships with clients.
Founders of Hat and Home Ben Gee and Luke Strzadala talk to The Bowler about why they set up a mortgage brokerage and the synergy it has with the estate agency business.
The Bowler: What made you decide to open a financial services firm?
Ben: At Hat and Home our aim is to make moving home a fantastic experience. One of the ways we can do that is by being involved in more of the essential steps of a transaction to ensure our clients get their dream home.
The Bowler: What types of mortgages do you cover?
Luke: Whether you’re moving home, investing in a buy- to-let or refinancing your existing property we can help. With access to a huge selection of lenders we can make sure you get the best product for your needs. We also get exclusive rates that aren’t available by going directly to the lender.
The Bowler: What about protection?
Ben: It’s essential you insure the risk of not being able to work or getting a critical illness alongside providing stability for your loved ones in the event
of your death. None of us like thinking about these things but it’s important to get suitable cover in place as early as possible. We can also help with buildings and contents insurance for your new or existing home.
The Bowler: Where does the name Milliner come from?
Ben: We are rather keen on hats as you may know,
so we wanted to keep the theme going with this venture. A Milliner is a hat maker (usually ladies hat).
The Bowler: What advice would you give someone who is thinking about moving?
Luke: Before you go onto Rightmove or start viewing properties, arrange a consultation with a Milliner broker and we will do a full assessment of your borrowing potential so you can go into the market with confidence of the budget you can work to. Just give us a call or visit our website.
