The Mortgage Shed

About Karen Snell at The Mortgage Shed

The Mortgage Shed is a local run business based in Exeter and has been established since September 2022 not only helping to assist you in purchasing your dream home, but also offering helpful solutions that can help support you no matter what life puts in your way.

I am fully CeMAP qualified (Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice) and have access to a comprehensive range of options, to help you find the most suitable product depending on your individual needs and circumstances. I will aim to handle the process as smoothly as possible, to help you move forwards with confidence.

Working for one of the biggest mortgage lenders for 21 years, with 7 years providing Mortgage advice from the high street and in office hours. In 2020 I moved from the office to working from home out of my garden shed, turned office, and have gone from helping customers in just one geographic area around Exeter and surrounds to helping customers across the whole of the UK. As technology has been embraced, I can now interact with customers anywhere in the UK, and so, I have become an expert in providing distance-based advice to clients in both mortgage lending and protection. This has also made me realise that just working for one lender has restricted how I am able to help and support customers on their journey; becoming a broker means I have access to more lenders to be able to help support your mortgage journey and so I started The Mortgage Shed.

The Mortgage Shed can offer the most suitable choice for mortgage and protection advice.

Wherever you may be, The Mortgage Shed aims to offer high-quality mortgage and protection advice. My recommendations will be individually catered to your goals and situation, whether you're buying your first house, moving, investing in property, or remortgaging.

Karen has been amazing, always kept in touch to keep us up to date with what's happening and helped us whenever we needed help, she really has gone above and beyond helping us. Massive thanks, highly recommended.

The mortgage shed made dealing with an 'uncooperative' provider a breeze! I would thoroughly recommend.

Great upfront quality advice. In a confusing and changing world it is amazing to some straight forward advice. Can't thank you enough.

Karen was most helpful, friendly and attentive. She's made the whole experience stress free and saved us great deal of time and worry finding the deal we're very happy with, thank you. Definitely recommend.

Highly recommend!! Karen helped us get our mortgage on our first home whilst with her previous company, so it was only right that when our second mortgage was up for renewing we went to Karen at The Mortgage Shed. Her expertise is second to none and she is so helpful, we are also extremely grateful for Karen's patience with us - two people who don't have much clue when it comes to finances. Karen is also now helping us sort our Life Insurance policies, so if you're looking for a mortgage or help with insurance, Karen is your lady!

Karen has been absolutely amazing with sorting out our mortgage for my partner and I buying our first property and with the insurances we needed in place for when we completed. I couldn't recommend her enough, quick with responses, goes above and beyond, absolutely lovely & very informative. Thank you Karen! We will definitely be coming back to you!

Karen was amazing! She was on hand whenever we had a question and was so helpful throughout the whole process. She explained all the details every step of the way. We will definitely be using her again when we come to renew or get a new mortgage!

Karen has always been amazing, very informative and on the ball, we have personally used her services twice and recommended her to several friends and family.

Fantastic advice given by Karen. We were kept updated the whole time, and everything was explained to us in a way we understood. We will definitely be using Karen again and would recommend.

Life made simple. Excellent guidance and advice. Highly recommended.

Karen was an absolute dream to work with as first-time buyers. She guided us through the often-daunting mortgage process with patience, clarity, and expertise. Her communication was excellent, always keeping us informed and answering our many questions promptly. We felt completely supported and confident in her advice. Karen went above and beyond to find us the best possible mortgage deal, and we couldn't be more grateful for her help. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable mortgage advisor.

Karen was absolutely amazing in helping us secure our mortgage and making sure everything stayed on track from start to finish. She completely took the stress out of the whole process and genuinely went the extra mile to help us with our move.
I've told friends and family about how great she was, and I'll definitely keep doing so. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to go back to Karen and The Mortgage Shed.

Karen was unbelievable for us with finding us a mortgage and keeping on top of everything along the whole process. It took so much stress away from us and she went above and beyond with the whole move.
I couldn't recommend Karen any more highly for people (I already have recommended to others) to use Karen when buying a mortgage, and if we were to ever move again, I wouldn't even give it a second thought on using The Mortgage Shed to get us through it.
