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 cannot recommend Heron enough if you're looking for a new mortgage - Don looked after us from start to finish and was so thorough in explaining the products and our options. He found us a better deal than we could find ourselves and made the process so easy and stress free.

Don Scott and colleagues were incredibly helpful. They supported us and gave us the best possible advice. At no point did we feel that we were a commission based client. It was a fantastic service that benefited us positively.

First class service from Dalia, Zara and the team. They were all super efficient and responded to all my emails and calls really quickly. We had no issues with any of the paper work thanks to them, the process was much less stressful thanks to them. I would definitely recommend Heron!

Me and my partner purchased our first home last year using the services of Heron, in particular Don & Vinal.
Highly recommend to anyone going through the house buying process as they take a big weight off your shoulders

Don was able to guide me and my partner through the process of buying our first home. Can’t thank him enough.

Writing this review as a follow up to my previous experience with Don at Heron Financial. We have used Heron twice both for a Remortgage and a new purchase.
Each time, we were never left in the dark with how the process was going. When the property we were buying fell through, we were able to move the process over to a new house without any issues.
Thanks again to Don and all the team at Heron

Joshua at Heron Financial has been helping me remortgage, having had a good experience with Aimee 5 years ago. This time around, as before, I've found the service very efficient and would recommend them.
I am pleased with the product they recommended. Joshua has been attentive to my every question, and of course, it is a no fee service.

Reply from Heron Financial
Josh has very helpful with our initial mortgage and remortgage. Regularly checking the market to get us the best rate and talk us through the process.

Very professional service providing targeted and accurate financial advice.

Reply from Heron Financial
Aidan and Leona recently helped us with the remortgage process as our current mortgage deal was reaching the end of a five year deal. They went through all the information in detail before presenting us with different options. They prioritised looking at a deal which fitted with our needs/wants such as duration and cost and making sure the product was affordable for us. Once they confirmed the best deal available the application was submitted swiftly with an offer coming back within 24 hours. They made the process easy and seamless. Thank you so much for being so professional and helpful in what can be a stressful process. Highly recommend the team at Heron!

I always use this company. such useful service with brilliant people.

Reply from Heron Financial
We've had a brilliant experience with Heron Financial in dealing with our re-mortgage. We had a slightly bumpy initial route to our first mortgage with another mortgage broker and this has been so easy in comparison! Really knowledgeable and super helpful, Aidan and Leona have been communicative and informative every step of the way - we've actually enjoyed the process this time round! Would highly recommend!

Reply from Heron Financial
We're halfway through our remortgage process, and Aidan and Leona have been incredibly helpful throughout, and we couldn't have asked for anything more. They've guided us through the process, kept us up to date, and have always been there to provide answers when we've needed them. It's been lovely having them help us along in this process.

I worked with both Zara Arshad and Kane Powel and they were both amazing! Always looking out for my best interest, very knowledgeable, and most importantly in this area of work, very responsive and helpful for any query I had!

Reply from Heron Financial
This is my 4th time working with Heron and looking forward to many more. Always top notch, always responsive, works in the favour of the client, very friendly and forthcoming.

Recently used Heron Financial to sort our mortgage for us, and are super happy with the service we received! We started with Aimee who spent lots of time with us on the phone giving us advice, and a follow up call to look at potential rates and estimates of what we would be paying each month. She answered all questions we threw at her really clearly and took the time to explain things properly. Once we had decided to go ahead, Kane and Zara were then equally helpful at sorting everything out that we would need to get the mortgage process going, all the documents etc. They kept us well informed at all times via phone and email which we appreciated. They were very patient with us even when we decided to put a third application in which delayed the whole process a bit. Ultimately we have ended up with a successful mortgage application and we are fully clued up on all the questions we had, thanks to the team at Heron. We would definitely recommend. Thanks team!
