Belle Lewis
Director/Mortgage Adviser
Belle Lewis helps first home buyers, homeowners and property investors make better decisions about what they borrow, how they borrow and what comes next.
Belle became a mortgage adviser after wanting to find a job where she could help others and educate them. After completing her Masters in International Relations & Diplomacy, Belle wanted to find a career where she could make a real impact to people in their day-to-day lives. She found that could be achieved in helping with mortgage advice.
What are you trying to achieve? How much breathing room do you want to keep? What could change over the next few years? What would taking this opportunity mean for everything else?
Those questions matter because approval only tells you what a lender is prepared to offer. It cannot tell you how the mortgage will feel on an ordinary Tuesday, once the rates, repayments and the rest of your life are all happening at once.
That is where Belle comes in.
