Mike Jones 

LIBF Accredited Later Life Lending Specialist

Hi, I’m Mike. I’ve been working in home financing for the past 10 years, with a particular interest in later life lending for the last 5 years. I have a special interest in providing support to customers in my hometown of Plymouth and the surrounding areas but I can help customers nationwide via video or telephone.

Growing up on the Devon and Cornwall border, I’ve always loved camping, especially given how wonderful this part of the world is. When I’m not under canvas you’ll usually catch me following motorsport of all kinds!

Choosing to release money from your home is a big decision and it’s important for you to understand all the options available to you. This means that I will always offer you unbiased advice. It doesn’t matter to me which solution or lender I recommend, as long as it is the right one for you.

Seb Edmonds

Protection Adviser

​Seb is an adopted Janner having been originally born up north but moved down to Plymouth aged 3, and has never looked back. He is an avid football fan and has been an Argyle season ticket holder for over 20 years (for his sins).  Seb is also a keen gym goer and is an aspiring amateur bodybuilder. He lives in Plympton with his fiancé Abbie, and they will very soon be starting a family together.

Originally, Seb studied to be an engineer for CERN and even has a degree in Astrophysics. However, he decided that he wanted to swap particles for people and followed his dad’s footsteps into financial advice. He has been in the industry for over 6 years and has helped more than 1000 families sort their insurance needs.

If you need help or advice on insurance, Seb would love to have a chat with you.

Kate Gribbins

Office Manager & Admin Hero

Kate is our Office Manager and turns everything within Mewstone from crazy into order. She is the backbone of our team and we are so glad she has joined our family.

Kate really is as local as it gets, as she was born and raised in the Chaddlewood area of Plymouth where our office is based.

Kate’s background adds to her next level organisational skills as she spent the first 12 years of her career in the legal industry, of which nearly 5 of those are in residential conveyancing.  Kate’s role is to help the team and our customers with support throughout the ‘Mewstone Client Journey’ from first contact, all the way through to completion.

In her free time, you will mainly find Kate spending quality family time with her husband Jon, daughter Hattie and of course her fur baby Parker.

Fun fact about Kate –  when she was younger Kate’s hobby was Clay Pigeon Shooting and she was lucky enough to have opportunity to shoot in the Devon Ladies Skeet team.

 
Our company name was inspired by the local Great Mewstone that sits just beyond the coast at Wembury.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only cover Plymouth?

We are local to the plymouth area, however this doesn’t stop us from helping anyone in the UK with the help of virtual meetings and smartphones!

Do I need to see an adviser before I go on viewings?

We recommend arranging a mortgage in principle prior to starting your property search. That way when you do find your dream property you are in the best possible place to make an offer.

Can you help me with life insurance or other protection products?

As well as mortgages, we can assist you with finding the right protection product for your home and family. Check out our Protection page for more details.

How long will it take to arrange my mortgage?

The length of time varies on the property type, the application details and requirements of each lender, as well as the requirements from your solicitors. However, we will always endeavour to have it processed as quickly as we can, whilst managing your expectations and keeping you informed.

We highly recommend Mewstone Mortgage Advice, especially Charlie Green. As first time buyers we were supported through every step and Charlie accommodated us with no problem as we worked awkward hours. Our experience was very straight forward thanks to the help of all the Mewstone staff and we are very grateful for this. Our options for life and home insurance were also explained to us which helped us a lot.

Everyone at Mewstone MA have been amazing, but we worked mostly with Charlie and she was exceptional. So professional, clear, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful - never made us feel silly for not knowing stuff (first time buyers!). Really cannot recommend them enough. The WhatsApp group was really convenient for us and we feel they've been with us the whole way - thank you so much! We're so excited for the next steps!

Charlie, Mark and Kate have been amazing throughout! Start to finish. We never thought we would be able to get a deposit together and a house bought. But here we are. Charlie has been amazing at accommodating us and our weird work hours and done so with a smile. I cannot recommend her highly enough.If you are unsure, just speak to them. They will give you the information and the confidence you need to make your own decisions and hopefully own your own home.If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

As self-employed individuals, navigating the complexities of securing financing can be overwhelming.However, the team at Mewstone, Charlie, Mark and Kate made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the unique challenges we face and helped us every step of the way, ensuring we understood all our options and found the best solutions for our needs.Their professionalism, attention to detail, and personal care exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for anyone, especially those who are self-employed and need expert guidance!

Well after finally almost unpacked into my first home! I'm a homeowner 🎉 I literally couldn't thank everyone at Mewstone more! I literally didn't have a clue what I was doing the whole time but the guys were always there for help and advice. I mostly spoke to Nathan, Mark and Seb. The laughs I've had with the guys all the way through has put me at such ease. I couldn't recommend them more! Thank you so much 😊

I would highly recommend Mewstone Mortgages. Buying a house for the first time is daunting, especially when you are self employed. Mike was brilliant in knowing more specialist lenders for this. Nothing was ever too much trouble and he spent lots of time explaining everything extremely thoroughly. He is really friendly and highly professional. When I have dropped documents off at the office everyone was lovely, friendly and always very helpful. You feel very supported in the whole process. Mike successfully arranged a mortgage for me and Seb is now helping me go through any insurances that I might need. Again, like Mike, he is lovely and friendly and very knowledgeable. He spent lots of time going through everything. You are in safe hands with Mewstone Mortgages.

I recently did another transaction with Mewstone Mortgage Advice, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, the team demonstrated exceptional dedication, professionalism, and expertise in handling my mortgage needs.The process of securing a mortgage can be incredibly stressful and time-consuming, but they made it remarkably smooth and manageable. They spent countless hours meticulously chasing down details from various mortgage companies on my behalf, ensuring that every piece of information was accurate and up-to-date. Their persistence and hard work were evident at every step of the way.What impressed me the most was their unwavering commitment to finding the best possible mortgage options for my specific situation. They patiently explained every detail, answered all of my questions, and provided invaluable advice that helped me make informed decisions. Their personalised approach made me feel valued and reassured throughout the entire process.In addition to their outstanding service, the team at Mewstone was always prompt, courteous, and friendly. Their excellent communication skills and transparency kept me informed and confident that my mortgage application was in the best hands.Thanks to Mewstone Mortgage Advice, I now have a mortgage that perfectly fits my needs, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you are looking for a mortgage company that goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results, look no further. They are truly a cut above the rest.

Highly recommended! We needed to release equity from our home, initially we went directly to our mortgage provider who were a waste of time tbh & said we could only have a fifth of what we required?Mewstone we're recommend to us via a Facebook group & they managed to get us an offer from our same mortgage provider for 100% of what we initially asked for! Go figure that out?The whole process is straight forward & very quick as long as you have your paperwork in order. And the best thing about it all is we only had to pay £99 because we were keeping our same provider!Definitely using them again & more than happy to recommend them to everyone.

Myself and my wife re located from Kent back to Plymouth, we had sold our home and had some money to buy a new home in Plymouth unfortunately we did require a mortgage to assist us, we are both over 50 and we were looking for a home, which would require a decent size mortgage, my wife is retired and I still work and with finances in a few different areas we thought it would hard to obtain a good mortgage.We were given Mike from Mewstone details having heard good vibes from his work. Mike made contact, we explained our circumstances and he was able to assist us quickly with a mortgage in principle at the right amount of loan, we are now going through the paces of buying our home and this has been completed very quickly by the mortgage lender with Mike by our side all the way, great honest advice, explained in plain English, upfront with all costings and also will explain if things go wrong honestly. Our house has a very odd issue with holding a freehold title as well as a leasehold title, so Mike is assisting us each step of the way and being our go between with solicitors and estate agents.We are very happy, would 100% recommend Mike to anyone who asked, his specialist area is mortgages for older people but I am sure he can help many others looking for assistance with mortgages.

As a first time buyer, I was more than scared about the property ladder process. The team at Mewstone Mortgage advice were really great and broke things down for me, step by step. They answered all of my questions super clearly, letting me know the next stages so I was always kept in the loop. I’d highly recommend them, not only are they knowledgeable, they’re incredibly friendly too. A seamless process!
