How Can We Help

Joanne Williams CeMAP CeFA DipFA
Partner - Executive Mortgage & Protection Advisor

Having been in the property industry since 1998 I have experienced many changes in the property market with all the challenges and surprises that it brings. I love the fact I have clients that I met as first-time buyers, to their next move, to meeting their partner and then having children and the journey we take together. It’s a pleasure to work with these people who have now become more than clients and are friends too. Enabling people to get moved by arranging a mortgage when they thought it ‘couldn’t be done’ is the biggest buzz me for me . I have a fantastic team around me and am so proud of them and how they have brought this part of the business forward. Without them it would not have happened. As a co-director and founder of HOME I’m exceptionally proud of what we and the team here have built up here and continue to strive to be the best at what we do

I love working with our busy department full of amazing hard-working characters and personalities. I previously worked as a Mortgage Administrator within our department, I am also currently studying to be a fully qualified Mortgage and Protection Adviser. I love spending time with my family, I have two teenage boys, I enjoy going out for dinner with friends and my most precious memories are travelling and being in the sun.

Katie Pring
Senior Mortgage, Protection & Equity Release Advisor

I’ve been part of the Home Mortgage Team since 2017. I love meeting new people and helping them fulfil their dream of becoming a homeowner or just finding the best deal for my clients. I started work in financial services after graduating in 1999. I took a long break from finance and retrained as an early years professional while my kids were little and returned to finance once the kids were established at school. When I’m not working I’m ferrying my teenage boys around, catching up on box sets with my other half or meeting friends. I enjoy going out at the weekend and have a gym membership that’s not used as much as it should be! I love to curl up with a good book or take a long walk in the countryside where I live.

Christina Howe
Mortgage Administrator

I have been a fully qualified Financial Adviser for many years working in Banking and Finance for Santander. I joined HOME team in 2014 and I have watched the team grow in that time. I assist the mortgage brokers on the processing of your mortgage application and liaise with lenders and also work on compliance for the Mortgage department too. I am very much a dog lover, having my 5th large German Shepherd called Ralph, who pulls me out on walks! I love to swim and when not dog walking/swimming I enjoy spending time with my 6 grandchildren.
