Heron Financial is a fee-free, whole-of-market mortgage and protection broker based in the UK and certified B Corporation. Heron Financial specialises in mortgages for first-time buyers, self-employed clients, company directors, contractors, and borrowers with complex income such as commission, dividends, or variable earnings.
Our advice is fully fee-free. We manage the entire mortgage process from initial application through to completion, and continue to look after our clients beyond move-in, including future remortgages and protection reviews.
Heron Financial was founded in September 2011 by Matt Coulson. The aim was to build a digital-first mortgage broker that puts education at the heart of every client conversation. We help individuals and families make confident, well-informed decisions about their borrowing, their long-term financial wellbeing, and their environmental impact as a B Corp-certified business.
We specialise in complex cases. Our advisers regularly place mortgages for clients who have been declined by their bank or by other brokers, including self-employed applicants with one year of accounts, contractors paid on a day rate, company directors taking minimal salary plus dividends, and borrowers with variable or commission-based income. We have access to lenders across the high street, specialist, and private bank markets.
In 2026, Heron Financial was named a finalist in two categories at the British Bank Awards: Best Mortgage Broker and Best Ethical Financial Provider. Internally, we built Everglades, our own award-winning digital application system, to make the mortgage process faster and more transparent for clients. It is one of the reasons our clients tell us the process feels noticeably less stressful than going direct to a bank.
Our mission is simple: the right mortgage, without the stress.

Kane, Zara & Travis have all been wonderful! Zara is always on it and very fast at replying, which is amazing! They truly have been fantastic and they managed to get us a much lower mortgage rate than we were previously told!
A very slick procedure from start to finish. Pointed in the right direction by George then advised by Gary finished off by Zara and new mortgage confirmed by Nationwide before the call was even over. Very impressed and would highly recommend.
We’ve trusted Heron financial for years with our mortgage and financial advice. I can’t recommend them enough. Fantastic team who work thoroughly to fulfil your requirements.

Chloe was incredible. Following an issue that was nothing to do with Heron Chloe dedicated her time to help me and ensure that everything was sorted. She had great contact and couldn’t have been more helpful!

Kane and Zara have been great throughout our house purchase process. They have been responsive and have gone above an beyond to adapt their communication to fit in with our busy lives. They have also listened to our concerns and preferences and readily changed mortgage products for us along the way. Finally they have provided additional guidance on the moving process that has helped us understand timings and what is mandatory for exchange.
This is the 4th time we are using Heron through 3 moves and 1 remortgage, they continue to take the stress out of everything and make everything simple and understandable. We will always recommend Heron highly. Thank you to the team!

Aidan, Zara & Travis have been incredible in helping us purchase our first home. With it all being a new process it has been very daunting but they have been amazing, answering every question clearly and concisely (no matter how great or small).
I would 100% recommend Heron to anyone looking for professional & friendly individuals to assist them with their mortgage needs.

Joshua and Chloe have been absolutely amazing. So helpful and knowledgable and not at all pushy. Remortgaging came at a really stressful time for us so it’s been great to have them guiding us through

From initial contact all the way through to completing. Heron did a great job at communicating requirements, progress and managed my expectations on time frames very well. Great service is often overlooked and I can wholeheartedly recommend Aidan and Leona. My application process was very swift and pain free. Very happy. Would recommend

I have used Heron a few times now based on the recommendation of my brother. The team are brilliant especially Aidan who arranged the mortgage on my new house purchase. The calls on MS teams really helped me to understand the rates offered on the market via the sharing of the screen. Aidan illustrated various scenarios e.g. if the mortgage term was 30yrs or 35yrs and how that impacts the amount payable per month. I also found it easy to ask any questions, Aidan takes the time to follow up in another call once the mortgage offer have been received. Thanks to Zara aswell for checking on the progress of the mortgage and completion dates for the house purchase. Always have a positive experience with Heron and would recommend their services!

Special shoutout to Aidan and Zara, they have helped us along the way. Always available to answer any questions with their fast responses and knowledge. They always help to get you the best rate and get the application over the line.

We have used Heron financial before to buy our first home, we have since used them again to buy our forever home. We have specifically used Aidan on both occasions who has been super helpful and on hand to help with all queries. He has helped us find the best deal for us and helped us overcome any obstacles along the crazy ride. Would highly recommend Heron especially Aidan, who makes buying/selling super straight forward. Zara, has also helped us along our moving journey and kept everything smooth and streamlined. Would use heron again and again.

My partner Abbie and I had a fantastic experience with Heron Financial and couldn't recommend them highly enough.
From start to finish, Kane, our Mortgage Advisor, provided excellent advice and guidance throughout what was a particularly challenging and uncertain period. He was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and always took the time to explain our options clearly, helping us make informed decisions with confidence.
Leona, our Case Progression Manager and Completions Specialist, was equally outstanding. Her communication was excellent throughout the process, keeping us updated at every stage and ensuring everything progressed smoothly. She was proactive, responsive, and delivered exactly what she said she would.
The professionalism, transparency, and attention to detail from both Kane and Leona made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and well-managed. We are extremely grateful for their support and would not hesitate to recommend Heron Financial to anyone looking for expert mortgage advice and first-class customer service.
