About Keynote Mortgage Solutions

Choosing the right mortgage is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. At Keynote Mortgage Solutions, we’re committed to making that decision easier by providing clear, tailored mortgage and protection advice that’s built around your individual circumstances.

Our Approach.

Trusted Mortgage & Protection Advice

At Keynote Mortgage Solutions, we know that no two clients are the same. Everyone’s financial circumstances, future plans and property goals are different, which is why we never believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

From your first enquiry, we’ll take the time to understand your situation, explain your options clearly and answer any questions you may have. We’ll guide you through every stage of the mortgage process, keeping you informed and supported until your mortgage completes.

Our relationship doesn’t end there. As your circumstances change over time, we’re here to provide ongoing mortgage reviews and continued support whenever you need us.

About Martin

Martin has been helping people find the right mortgage since 2008, working his way up through the industry to become a Mortgage & Protection Adviser in his early thirties. He genuinely loves what he does — guiding clients through the home buying process and being trusted to help with one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.

Whether it’s a first-time buyer stepping onto the property ladder or an investor purchasing their first Buy-to-Let, Martin gets the same buzz when the lender agrees the mortgage and the keys are handed over.

Outside of work, Martin enjoys spending time with family and friends, travelling to his favourite spots — Cornwall, the Greek Islands, London, Venice and NYC — and keeping active with golf, football, padel and surfing.

When he’s not working or on the move, you’ll find him walking Bella, his 6-year-old sausage dog. His best career advice? Work hard, keep positive and never give up.

Aaron and the team made my mortgage application stress free and found me a great deal even during the turbulent times we live in currently. Being self employed, getting a mortgage can be a struggle however, the team at Keynote made the whole process smooth and stress free. I had regular contact from Aaron and Jade throughout the process and would highly recommend using Keynote to anyone. Thanks guys!!

Emily, Charlotte & team have been a huge help & support from start to finish. Can’t recommend Keynote more. They took so much stress out of the house buying process. They answered any questions I had not only on the mortgage but solicitor & insurance. Thanks a lot. And see you in a couple of years for my remortgage.
