About
Our Service to you…
The expert advice we offer, combined with the volume of mortgages that our network, Mortgage Advice Bureau, arrange, places us in a very strong position to ensure that our customers have access to the latest deals available and receive a first-class service.
Our mortgage experts are available to provide you with the advice you need face-to-face or, if more convenient, over the phone or video conference at a time to suit you. We take care of everything from explaining all of your options and helping you select the right mortgage, to choosing the most suitable protection for you and your family, and handling the whole application process.
​
We search 1,000s of mortgage deals to find the right one for our customers' circumstances and needs. Some of these schemes cannot be found on the high street and are exclusive to us through our network - Mortgage Advice Bureau. We pride ourselves on our professional service, which continues throughout the lifetime of our relationship, not just when your mortgage completes. We provide a full range of lifestyle and income protection cover to protect you from the unexpected. We cover all aspects of property-related lending including Help to Buy, Buy-to-Let, Affordable Housing schemes and many more..​
​
Because we play by the book we want to tell you that…
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The actual amount you pay will depend upon your circumstances.
The fee is up to 1%, but a typical fee is 0.3% of the amount borrowed.
Meet The Team
Chris Norton
Managing Director
Chris started his career in mortgage advice when he joined Britannia Building Society in 2004. In 2007 he made the decision to join the broker market and start his own business. Despite embarking on self-employment during a major financial crisis, Chris’s determination in an extremely challenging market meant that the business went from strength to strength and continues to do so. This has been the result of hard work, attention to detail and putting the client experience first, as the business has been built primarily on client referrals and word of mouth.
​
In his spare time Chris enjoys family life with his wife Amy, son Zach and Ruby the office watch dog. The odd spot of surfing, snowboarding and as much CrossFit as possible keep him out of trouble.
Barry Fair
Mortgage & Protection Adviser
Barry started his career at RBS in 2002 as a Customer Adviser, advising on a range of Bank products from current accounts to credit cards. In February 2010 he gained his full CeMAP qualifications to advise on both residential and buy-to-let mortgages along with protection products such as life cover, critical illness and income protection. In September 2013, Barry joined the broker market and became an Authorised Representative of Intrinsic Mortgage Planning continuing to advise on mortgages and protection needs. In December 2018, he took the opportunity to join Chris Norton under Mortgage Advice Bureau and has relished working in this new challenging environment ever since. Barry’s personal touch, solid advice and deep knowledge of the mortgage market, built up over the years working in both a retail banking and broker environment enhances the complete service he offers to clients, from first time buyers to experienced landlords.
In his spare time Barry enjoys listening to music and DJing, football and spending time with his family.
Jack Crawford
Mortgage Processing Expert
Jack joined the team in 2020 as a mortgage processing expert and is aspiring to become a fully qualified mortgage adviser. He started his career in the Financial Services sector in 2014 with Scottish Widows where he gained a wealth of knowledge in protection products. In 2016 Jack progressed his career within Scottish Widows and moved to their Agency Management Team where he dealt with Mortgage & Protection business directly with advisers all over the UK. Jack’s goal is to ensure that all clients’ mortgage journey is kept as straightforward and stress free as possible by making sure that communication is key at all times.
Jack likes to make the most of the time he has away from the office. In 2019, he took a 6 month secondment and decided to travel to South East Asia where he spent time in several great locations such as Kuala Lumpur, Vietnam, Singapore, Cambodia and many parts of Thailand as well. This was a great time spent seeing other parts of the world as well as experiencing different countries’ cultures. Before he left on his travels he was a coach at youth football side Edinburgh South FC and is keen to continue football coaching in the future.
