We couldn’t recommend Lyndsey highly enough! As first-time buyers, the mortgage process felt quite daunting, but Lyndsey made everything so straightforward and stress-free from start to finish. We received excellent service throughout, with great communication, support and guidance every step of the way. We’re so grateful for all the help in getting us our mortgage and making our first home purchase possible. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lyndsey to anyone looking for a mortgage broker, and we’ll definitely be returning in the future. Thank you so much for all your help!

I was very lucky to have had Lyndsey Rowe(West Wales money) recommended to me by a business colleague and have had an impeccable service from him . He has been extremely helpful and I can not rate him high enough - he has had 36 years experience in this field & it shows!!

We honestly couldn’t recommend Lyndsey highly enough. From the very beginning, he has been incredibly professional, knowledgeable and supportive throughout what can be a very stressful process. As first-time buyers, we had lots of questions and uncertainties, but Lyndsey took the time to explain everything clearly and kept us informed every step of the way. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and he was always quick to respond to emails and calls, giving us complete confidence that we were in safe hands.

We have had an excellent experience with Lyndsey Rowe at West Wales Money. From the very beginning, Lyndsey has been clear, professional, responsive and extremely reassuring throughout what can otherwise be quite a stressful process. His advice has been invaluable, and he has made everything feel straightforward and seamless from our side. He has guided us carefully through the mortgage application process, kept us informed at each stage, and helped us secure our mortgage offer with confidence. We are very grateful for all of Lyndsey’s help so far and would be very happy to recommend him to anyone looking for knowledgeable, trustworthy and supportive mortgage advice.

I cannot recommend Lyndsey and his team at West Wales Money enough. Myself and my partner are both first time buyers and we did not understand the process fully. He made the process clear with constant communication and updated us regular through every step of the process. We will definitely be using him again when we are due for our renewal.

Lyndsey and his team are fantastic. They’ve made the whole process of buying a house so much easier. Communication is always quick, professional and friendly. My partner and I have felt supported throughout the whole process. We can’t recommend Lyndsey and his team enough, we’re so grateful to them!

BEEN DECLINED OR
OFFERED LESS THAN EXPECTED?

Been declined or offered less than expected?

Different lenders assess income in different ways — particularly for company directors and the self-employed

That means:

Some of your income may not be considered

The lender’s criteria don’t suit your circumstances

You’re being offered less than you need

The result? You may not be able to borrow enough for the property you want.

But another lender may assess your circumstances differently, potentially giving you more options.

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO
BORROW MORE

Your Income Looks Strong — But Lenders May Not See It

Different lenders can treat the same income very differently

Salary & overtime

Bonuses & commission

Self-employed income

Salary & dividends

Company profits

Pension Contributions

The Wrong Lender Could Limit Your Borrowing

A standard affordability calculation may not reflect what you can really afford

Some income may be ignored

Your borrowing could be reduced

You could be offered less than expected

You could miss out on the property you want

HOW I HELP YOU BORROW MORE
— EVEN WHEN OTHERS SAY NO

Step 1: Understand Your Full Income

I look beyond basic salary, including overtime, bonuses, commission, company profits and other income where appropriate.

Step 2: Match You With Suitable Lenders


I compare how different lenders assess your circumstances to identify suitable options.

Step 3: Structure Your Mortgage Carefully

I consider the loan amount, term, deposit and overall application to help maximise your options.

The aim?
To help you secure the borrowing you need with a lender that understands your circumstances.
