Our Story

Mayflower was born after our two directors Mike and Lulu embarked on their own construction project over a decade ago and found the finance market limited and complex.

Mike had already spent 5 years as a mortgage broker when they begun to embark on their own self build, uncovering just how challenging it was to secure project finance even for someone in the industry.

Recognising the need for a specialist broker in this space, Mike and Lulu combined their personal experience with building, their professional expertise and a further three years of intensive training in self-build and development finance. The result was founding Mayflower Mortgage - a company dedicated to making self-build dreams achievable.

Mike and Lulu are passionate about empowering self-builders, and that passion runs through the entire team. In fact, half of our team are self-builders themselves, so we truly understand the pressures and challenges our clients face.

From day one, our ethos has, and always will be, “client first”. Whilst we’ve grown over the years, at our hear we are still a family-run business. And our clients’ families remain at the centre of everything we do.
