In this special Mortgage and Property Investment edition of IFA Talk, hosts Sue and Matt explore how financial advisers can better support clients with more complex borrowing needs.
They’re joined by Chris Blewitt, Head of Mortgage Distribution at Darlington Building Society, an organisation known for its flexible and personal approach to lending.

Topics covered include:
- Lending solutions for skilled workers on visas
- The growing appeal of holiday let investments
- Mortgage options for expats
- And more insights into niche lending opportunities
Whether you’re working with first-time buyers, seasoned investors, or clients with more nuanced financial profiles, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways to help you offer smarter, more inclusive advice.
