Donna Speed
Director, Northdown Dahley
Mortgage & Protection Adviser
After five years gaining experience as a mortgage consultant, employed in a company focused on buy-to-let properties and a well-known corporate establishment, I had the opportunity to work with several mainstream real estate agents. This path ultimately paved the way for me to start my own brokerage firm in January 2022.
I am committed to offering clear and uncomplicated guidance across a broad spectrum of property finance solutions. I derive satisfaction from tackling complex cases and resolving them using the extensive network I’ve cultivated within the industry. My primary dedication is to aid clients in achieving their goals, whether they’re first-time homebuyers or seasoned property developers.
With over ten years of experience as a landlord myself, I understand the importance of maximising returns from investment properties. I use my specialised knowledge to navigate the challenging complexities of buy-to-let mortgages, bridging loans, and development finance markets.
I’m a down-to-earth Yorkshire lass and enjoy keeping fit, cooking and going on adventures with my two children.
Lucy Smith
Director, Northdown Dahley
Mortgage & Protection Adviser
With over two decades of experience in the financial industry, I’ve been specialising in the mortgage market since 2002. My deep understanding of lending criteria and market trends allows me to guide clients through even the most complex situations. I pride myself on thinking outside the box – finding creative solutions when the obvious ones don’t fit.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or navigating unique lending challenges, I’m here to help make the process clear and successful.
Outside of work, you’ll find me in the garden or cheering on my boys through countless games of cricket.
Jennie Ayling
Mortgage, Protection & Later Life
Lending Specialist
I love working with people to achieve their financial goals, with over 20 years in the industry part of this as a bank manager on the high street, it seemed only natural to extend my experience and work on a self employed level, on a whole of market mortgage basis, This enables me to be flexible and versatile for my customers as and when they need me.
My knowledge and experience means that I can help a broad range of customers from first time buyers to those needing later life lending.
I specialise in equity release and all ranges of later life lending, I am also part of the Equity release council.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my daughter, walking our dogs and horse riding.
