Adam is the owner of Vantage Mortgages. He has been a mortgage adviser since 2007 so has lots of experience as a mortgage broker with all types of cases from first timer buyers to large portfolio owners. He lives just outside Banbury with his wife, Julie and two young boys, Oscar and Fraser. Adam is passionate about motorsport and cake! He makes a particularly good chocolate cake but never makes the tea!
Gemma has lots of experience in the financial industry, with most of her working career being in Retail Banking and Mortgages. She strives to exceed customers expectations and loves putting her customer service skills to the test!
Outside of work, Gemma enjoys walking her dog in the countryside, crime documentaries and shopping for a bargain!
Julie is married to Adam and splits her time between managing our marketing and social media platforms whilst looking after Oscar and Fraser. She argues she has the hardest job of all! She was a primary school teacher before having children and then ran a small business in which she learnt she had a flair for creativity and a passion for social media. Julie loves walking Dotty the dog and when feeling bendy – a bit of yoga!
Joanna is a case administrator so assists the advisors to make sure mortgages cases go through smoothly. Joanna takes care of the day to day running of the office – Adam would be lost without her! We’re glad she’s here with us and not in Cornwall a place she loves to go camping with her family. She also makes the world’s best brownies.
Adam met Helen way back when he first started as a mortgage broker. Helen is our client manager and keeps in touch with all clients old and new, getting in touch when mortgages are due for renewal. When she’s not working she is usually with her family or in the gym – she inspires us all to be healthier!
Holly is our senior case administrator, so she assists the advisors to get mortgage applications completed and keeps Adam on track! Adam and Holly have worked together in the past and make a great team, with her fab sense of humour and ability to get the job done! Holly enjoys a fine wine but not milk!
An extra gift in your Christmas shopping could mean the world to a child or young person this year.
We know that many more people will find this Christmas harder financially so more children could go without.
We've been in touch with the Salvation Army to collect gifts on their behalf. We will then drop them off to the Banbury centre who will distribute them locally this Christmas.
Unwrapped gifts must be with us by Friday 10th December. They are in particular need of gifts suitable for 16-18 year olds, things like; games, gloves, socks, toiletries, mugs, bags, stationary, headphones etc.
THANK YOU to everyone who has dropped something in so far - you're amazing!
Black glasses for Black Friday ⚫️🤓
So, #blackfriday
Love it or hate it?
Personally I can't stand it. It seems to me it brings out the worst in some people, all trying to get something bigger or better. I remember the scenes on the first black Friday a few years ago. People literally hurting each other to get to a product off the shelves.
I wonder if they still have those items now?
It is my belief that we should always be savvy about getting the very best out of our money, every day of the year.
When remortgaging you might ask yourself, is it worth the hassle of moving lenders?
The answer is YES.
In fact, a saving of just 0.5% on a mortgage of £250,000 would be around £62 per month difference. That is about £3720 over a 5 year fixed term!* A substantial amount that you could and would probably want to put to better use.
I believe this to be a better way of getting good value for money and thinking about your future. Rather than buying something on a whim just because it's Black Friday.
So today, on Black Friday, check when your mortgage rate comes to an end and get in touch to see if I could find you a better fit.
*Figures based on a mortgage of £250,000 over 25 years at 1.5% verses 2% to the nearest whole pound.
**Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Our typical fee for arranging a mortgage is £500 but this may vary on the complexity of your individual case.
If you're thinking of a move next year, any time next year, just be warned it could be a busy one.
Many moves and plans have been put on hold since the pandemic started. I predict that next year is going to be a recovery year. Recovery for our families, our plans and our searches for the next perfect home.
If this is you, I urge you to put in some of the background work now so that when you think you're ready, you're already on the right track. One step ahead.
One of the very first things you can do is get an up to date valuation of your home. If you're local to north Oxfordshire, my agency Maxwells Estate Agent can help you with this - at your pace.
If you're not local, I can help you with a remote valuation to get you started and can recommend estate agents best suited to you and your home.

Next year is going to be a BIG year.
I'm actually obsessed with looking forward. So much so, Julie often tells me that I need to slow down and take in what's going on right now and be more present.
Which is why we make such a good team I guess. Her yogi outlook on life and my dreamer head.
But my brain isn't wired that way - I'm always planning, considering, thinking about what the next challenge is going to be.
I've got so much planned for my businesses (stay tuned) and for my family (that might actually be more Julie's doing) in 2022.
Next year will be a big year for many of my clients too as many of them are going to come to the end of their fixed rate. There will be more conversations about home improvements, projects, moving plans and more. I can't wait to start helping them on putting their plans into action.
Check if your mortgage rate is coming to an end next year. If it is, start thinking about what your plans are. Is it to pay off a lump sum, is it to get working on that extension or finally convert the loft into a home office?
Whatever your plans, consider how you might make them a reality.

Some children will struggle to be given much at all this Christmas.
.
We are opening up our office as a drop off point for Christmas gifts for children and young people. They will then be taken to the salvation army for distribution.
.
So whilst you're out and about shopping, if you felt you could buy an extra gift for a child, we know it would be so very much appreciated.
.
The #salvationarmy have told us it's gifts for both boys and girls aged 16-18 that they tend to struggle for. We've got started with some toiletries gift sets.
.
We know that these are incredibly difficult times for some of us financially right now so whatever you can afford will be absolutely amazing.
.
If you'd like to drop a gift to us to pass on, however big or small, please get it to our office, 48 High Street Banbury BEFORE 10th December and make sure it is unwrapped. And we'll be delighted to pass it on for you.

We are not a bank or building society.
We are family owned and independent mortgage and protection advisers.
And we THRIVE on our clients spreading the word about our expertise and service.
We have a little favour to ask...
Consider the following:
When you decide to use a service for a big life decision (an estate agent, a mortgage adviser, health care) how do you make your decision?
It's probably no surprise that most people make their choice based on other people's experience. This could be a conversation in person with a friend or family member, a recommendation from a colleague or online reviews.
Hearing positive comments and feedback from others helps us to feel secure in our decision making, this is particularly important when deciding who to use when arranging your mortgage. For a lot of us, this will be one of the largest financial commitments you will ever make.
We know it seems everyone is after a review for something these days but for a service like ours, your words could be the beginning of another client's journey with us.
(We can't advertise on TV like national companies. I'm not sure we'd want to!)
It's now easier than ever for you to leave us a review, taking just minutes to do. Please consider telling others about your experience with us as we strive to work hard for our clients and aim to get the very best result possible for them.
Here's the link: https://review.vantage-mortgages.co.uk
And keep your eyes peeled for how we will reward our clients who spread the love... 💗 (details are coming soon)

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Our typical fee for arranging a mortgage is £500 but this may vary on the complexity of your individual case.
So you may be thinking, doesn’t it cost a lot to change mortgage lenders?
Absolutely not! In fact most of the time for a simple swap it doesn’t cost anything at all. Most lenders will provide a free solicitor to handle the change over and they will usually cover the cost of the valuation too.
This is the point when we will find out about your situation, your income, outgoings and any other considerations that may need to be taken into account, like your credit history before we give advice on what to do next.
