What started as a pipe dream quickly snowballed in to something real. “Ebor Mortgages has grown out of Ardent Financial Planning in York," said Graham.

“Through Covid, we formed our own mortgage brokerage to provide a more streamlined, mortgage-focused business which solely concentrates on providing the best level of service and whole of market mortgage advice for our clients.

“It was all hands on deck managing the set-up of the new company and liaising with Ardent. It has been a really amicable split and we still provide mortgage support to all of Ardent’s clients and we will moving forward. “We still love working with them and they will still be working with us very closely.

“We wanted to have a business that provided a number one service for whole of market, independent mortgage and protection advice.”

Graham added: “We have grown from strength to strength since launching in October and have very recently been granted direct authorisation by the Financial Conduct Authority. We have also just obtained an office in Acomb which we will start working out of when Covid restrictions lift.”
Also part of the team is Fiona Stockdale, an administration manager. Graham said their strength was that they all live in York and want to provide a local, friendly, efficient service.  “We also want to target the wider audience, but it is always advantageous to know exactly who you are talking to and that they are local."
