Matt Dowling
Director – non-selling principal
Matt has been a Mortgage Adviser for almost 30 years, although you will regularly hear him joke that he was 10 years old when he started (he was actually 21). He is a fully qualified Financial Adviser with full CeMAP accreditation, although these days concentrates on his specialist area of Mortgage Brokerage. He is an expert in specialist lending and has many portfolio clients with extensive Buy to Let properties that he services at regular intervals.
Outside of his busy schedule, you may find Matt aimlessly hitting golf balls around a course or standing (generally sitting these days) at his beloved Manchester City enjoying his brief success in the sunshine and talking about the good old days of football. He is a keen Rugby Union, cricket fan and pretty much any sport his very supportive wife will allow him to watch!
Martin Hill
Director – non-selling principal
A fully licenced professional, Martin has spent his entire working life in the world of property. Martin heads up the Estate Agency part of our business. He brings his years of expertise to all aspects of property sales and lettings. When he’s not working, Martin can be found on the golf courses around Manchester and the North West.
Maciek (Maj) Starczewski
Mortgage & Protection Adviser
Maj has been in the financial services industry since 1997 having over 23 years’ experience as a mortgage adviser, 16 of which were spent with one of the largest corporate networks in the UK.
Maj prides himself on delivering expert professional mortgage advice to all clients along with advising on their protection needs. He is able to advise on a range of areas including mortgage purchase, remortgage, right to buy, new homes and buy to let which allows him to follow the clients journey right through to completion.
When he’s not working (which is not very often) he enjoys watching football as well as spending my time with his family and 3 children.
