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.

Highly recommended to all our friends!

I had a really positive experience with Neve and Joshua. They were friendly, professional, and always quick to respond to my questions. The whole process was straightforward, and I felt supported from start to finish. I truly appreciate their help and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor!

Ailsa was super helpful, taking time to clearly go through all the types of income protection and mortgage cover and helping with the will writing process

Robyn & Joshua were great in dealing with our remortgage and making sure we got the best deal. Highly recommend!

Flawless service and great advice!
Aidan and his team are amazing - we've just used HF for the third time and I recomend them to everyone. Always an email/phone call away, speedy responses and kind advice. No question is ever 'stupid' to them.

Kane has always been fantastic for us for the past 4 years. His knowledge and experience shines through and has helped us make some big decisions. Robyn has also been great and very friendly/kind during email and phone conversations and answering all my questions. Thanks so much all

As a first-time buyer the whole mortgage process felt overwhelming at first, but Heron financial service made everything straightforward and stress-free. From the very beginning, they were patient, clear, and incredibly supportive. Brennan was our first contact and reassured us of our affordability, something we didn't get with other financial service. Robyn was organised, quick to answer and up to date with the process. We knew we were looked after.
Most importantly, they worked hard to secure a mortgage offer that truly suited our needs and budget. We felt completely looked after throughout the process.
We are now happily holding a mortgage offer, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their help. I would highly recommend them to anyone especially other first-time buyers who want guidance they can trust.
Thanks Robyn and Brennan.

The service from Callum and Robyn has been exceptionally good. Been a customer with Heron for over 6 years and still believe they provide the best products.

I’ve recently secured my remortgage with Heron and I was really impressed with how customer focused they are. I had the pleasure of speaking with Aidan Broom, Robin Dawson and Oliver Jordan, each one of them were knowledgable, professional and kind. They took the time to fully understand my personal circumstances and gave clear advice. The application process was easy to complete within the portal but if I had any questions I was able to speak to an adviser easily. The progress of my mortgage was managed well and I was communicated to regularly. I was also presented with some cost efficient insurance products to consider again inline with my personal circumstances.
Would highly recommend Heron for a supportive handholding experience.

I've used Heron Financial since I bought my first home. Their mortgage broker team are great! I've also been using their insurance team as well to cover my life insurance and income protection plans. Anais has been really helpful and communicative, even when I get super busy and work and don't respond for ages - she's been really patient with us!

Reply from Heron Financial
Aidan and Robyn are always helpful, professional, personable and extremely patient. They're very responsive and easy to deal with. I'd highly recommend them and their services.

Reply from Heron Financial
I’ve had a fantastic experience working with Anais. She is a true professional, always approachable, and answers the call or returns your call, willing to help and happy to offer expert advice whenever needed. She keeps in touch regularly, sends reminders when policies are about to expire, and follows up to ensure everything is satisfactory. Anais consistently goes above and beyond, and I would highly recommend her and her team at Heron Financial.

We have been using Heron Financial for our mortgages for the past two years. We find the team to be knowledgeable, helpful and always able to find great deals. Nothing is too much hassle and the approach of both Kane and Rachel, who manage our remortgages, is second to none. It’s a pleasure working with Heron.

Reply from Heron Financial
Fantastic service, advice is brilliant, Especially Aidan and Neve, without your support this process would have not have been a lot more challenging.

Reply from Heron Financial
Couldn’t have gone through the house buying process without the support from Aidan! He was there to answer all my questions with a speedy response, and went the extra mile to help me when there were difficulties! :)

Reply from Heron Financial
I've used Heron multiple times since 2018 (when I was a first-time buyer) and they've always been very helpful, knowledgeable and professional. Most recently I've been looked after by Brennan Goodwin and Robyn Dawson and they've been a pleasure to deal with.

Reply from Heron Financial
Joshua and Rachel were friendly, kind and patience with me. Joshua got me the best mortgage offer. Thank you.

Aiden and Rachel from Heron Financial have been nothing but amazing with our experience. I have and would always use them whenever we require their services, have recommended them to friends of they ever require the services.

Reply from Heron Financial
Could not fault the experience we have had with Aidan and Rachel. The support, advice and communication have been amazing, both have done everything they can to fix any issues that occurred and were always so quick to answer any questions we had. Everything that they have done for us have been with our best interest at the centre of it.

Reply from Heron Financial
The remortgage experience is often a chore - however Heron Financial advisors Zara and Brennan have made the entire experience a breeze; always helpful, approachable and happy to offer and discuss the most suitable options. We would be more than happy to choose their services again in the future.
