Welcome to April's episode, where guest host Gemma Bennett, Senior Broker at The Mortgage Mum, takes time to discuss getting mortgage ready when you have a fixed term, temporary or zero hours employment contract. Being employed doesn't look the same for everyone and if you have an employment contract that isn't considered permanent, you may need to consider a few extra elements to help lenders understand your current and future income, when it comes to applying for a mortgage. Since working in the mortgage industry Gemma has seen just how varied lenders are in their approaches to contract workers and uses this podcast episode to give you an overview of things to consider and how to get yourself in the best position. Essentially it comes down to offering the lenders as much evidenced security of your income levels as we can. We do this by looking both back at your recent employment history and forward when it comes to non permanent contracted employment. Gemma hopes she can shed some light on what's required and what is most helpful if you're in this position. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions. Gemma is an award-winning senior broker at the mortgage mum and can be contacted on Gemma@themortgagemum.co.uk Follow Gemma on: Instagram @gemmabennett_themortgagemum Facebook @gemmabennett_themortgagemum LinkedIn Gemma Bennett

In our new episode on The Mortgage Mum Podcast, we are joined by three of our Mortgage Mums - Sally Mitchell (Senior Mortgage Broker and Business Manager), Katrina Horstead (Mortgage Broker) and Kim Balasubramaniam (Senior Mortgage Broker). Each with a very different story, Sally, Katrina and Kim talk through their unique back stories including how they became Mortgage Brokers and how they landed their roles at The Mortgage Mum. They talk about their background, how they discovered The Mortgage Mum, getting qualified and more. They talk about how being a mortgage broker is a true "human" job, listening to real people and understanding their circumstances. It's beyond numbers, it's interesting and exciting. Proving that you don't have to have a background in Financial Services, we hope their inspiring journeys can show that you can create a flexible work and life balance as a broker. Not all of our brokers are parents, but those that are, make this career work around their families. Mortgage brokers are a huge part of anyone's property-purchase. The Mortgage Mum brokers specifically are there every step of the way. They build real relationships and their invaluable life experience really shapes the much needed positive, patient, kind and empathetic attitude the mortgage industry needs, all of which we believe contributes to being a successful mortgage broker. If you feel inspired by this episode and Sally, Katrina and Kim's stories, and are interested in becoming a mortgage broker, or whether you are already a broker and want to find out more about being a broker at The Mortgage Mum, then please check out our course: Your Complete Guide To Becoming A Mortgage Broker.

Mortgages are back in the headlines this week, with the news that hundreds of deals are being pulled from the market. Since the start of last week, the total number of mortgage products on the market has fallen by 11.3% according to new figures from Money Facts. We'll discuss this with Sonya Matharu, Senior Mortgage Broker with The Mortgage Mum. There are calls to simplify and reform the tax free childcare system. The charity Coram says many families don't even know they are eligible because the system is so difficult to manage. HMRC says Tax-Free Childcare is quick and easy to claim and that it can be a real boost to the household budget of working families. Adding that families can choose the financial support that best suits their needs. It recommends that parents use the Childcare Choices website (https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/) to find the right childcare offer for them. We'll discuss what the latest updates are for funeral plan holders with companies which have gone out of business - following a major shake up of the industry. We'll speak to one of the providers which has taken on customers of failed firms and to James Daley from Fairer Finance. And the listener who manages his mum's finances but was told he couldn't switch her to a more competitive savings account.

Welcome to May's episode, where guest host Gemma Bennett, Senior Broker at The Mortgage Mum is joined by Abigail Foster founder and CEO of Elent Financial Education. Abi is an ACA chartered accountant and having recognised a severe gap in financial literacy within the workplace became passionate about doing what she can to amend this through relatable and easy to understand practical financial education, delivered through workshops in schools, universities and workplaces. This led to the creation of ELENT. Gemma and Abi discuss the importance of better financial education and how Abi is assisting in bridging this gap for so many. Her passion and drive to eradicate the gender pay gap and what she's doing to inform the younger generations of the future workforce, with better conversations around finances. Gemma discovered Abi on social media when recognising, from conversations with many clients and peers, that a need for a better financial education system is required and started wondering what was out there. Stumbling across Abi with her tagline, ‘the financial education you wish you had learnt at school,' Gemma knew she had found the person she was looking for. Abi, posts creative, vibrant and energetic content on her socials that's relatable and practical for all. Even elements such as understanding your payslip are so important and let's be honest, so many people don't, yet don't admit this. Our finances are part of our everyday and yet fluid conversations around our Pay, Tax, Pensions and Mortgages are still not the norm. Adequate comprehension around these elements of life is often not at the level it should be. As a result, people feel disempowered or overwhelmed. This should not be the case! You shouldn't have to be a financial professional to understand your day to day finances. Better conversations and education is important as we empower ourselves to take charge of such elements. Money is part of everyone's life and therefore cannot be a ‘taboo' subject and must be spoken about. Abi is a truly fascinating and interesting woman and her intellect and passion is so infectious as she talks about her inspirations and goals with Elent. We really hope you enjoy this episode and watch out for the launch of Abi's online financial education platform coming soon!
