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.

I had an outstanding experience with Heron Financial, and I want to give special thanks to Zara Arshad and Kane Powell for all their support throughout my mortgage process. They were both incredibly professional, proactive, and genuinely helpful from start to finish.
Zara and Kane kept in regular contact, provided clear updates at every stage, and always checked whether I needed any assistance. Their communication was excellent, and they made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, my mortgage was approved without any issues.
I highly recommend Heron Financial, especially Zara and Kane, for anyone looking for knowledgeable, reliable, and supportive mortgage advisors. Outstanding service all the way!

I worked with Kane and Neve from the mortgage broker team.
They provided a great service. Really responsive, considered all the options available to me. Provided clarity in detail, approachable team and genuinely try to consider your best interests. Would engage with them again.

Neve and Dalia made my mortgage journey simple and stress-free. They were both amazing and managed to secure a mortgage for me when no one else could—for a small share in a shared ownership home as a single person. They truly are worth their weight in gold. Thank you so much!

Had amazing support from Callum and Zara for my BTL mortgage application. Callum was very kind and professional, and the application journey was quite smooth and easy. Zara has been supportive too throughout the process keeping me posted quickly when we had updates from the lender. Defo recommend them!

Heron have been absolutely fantastic in arranging both my new mortgage and protection, Josh has been really helpful in understanding my situation and giving a variety of options to best suit my needs, I had regular contact until everything was completed, and then I was swiftly passed to Anais to help consider all of my options with protection cover, she was knowledgeable and easy to work with and made the process very easy, always keeping me updated at every point until the cover was in place.

Reply from Heron Financial
I would fully recommend Heron as a Mortgage Broker. Joshua was great in explaining and delivering a number of options to choose from to suit our needs. Would like to also mention Anais who has been very helpful in explaining the differences in insurance available to help and going through quotes.
Thanks again!

Their professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciated their clear communication and dedication throughout. Highly recommended!

I had an excellent experience with this company . My advisor Anais was helpful and knowledgeable . She was very professional and kept me informed at all times . She was also very patient while waiting for me to come to a decision without being ‘pushy’ . I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Heron Financial to friends and family.

I had a fantastic experience with Heron Financial. The whole process was incredibly smooth and efficient — not just for the mortgage, but also for the insurance side of things.
Don, Anais, and Zara make a wonderful team. They were always professional, responsive, and made everything feel completely hassle-free. I can’t recommend them highly enough if you’re looking for a stress-free, well-managed experience from start to finish.

We have used Heron for years to help with our needs. Anais in particular was excellent. She took the time to understand our needs and made sure we were fully covered for every scenario. Her explanations were clear, and she gave us real peace of mind throughout the process. Highly recommend.

Anais has been incredible help throughout our time of applying for a mortgage and life insurance, couldn’t have asked for better service !

my initial contact was poor as the person didn't get back to me, however my case was passed on to Brennan who was brilliant, really helpful responded to my email queries quickly and nothing was to much trouble. He found the right deal for me and talked me through it.
Rosbyn who handled the paperwork was lovely to deal with very bright and bubbly to speak to and again very helpful.
