A Business Built on Relationships, Not Paperwork

We didn’t set out to be the biggest broker around, just the one people actually trust and come back to.

15+ Years’ Experience
Fast Agreement in Principle
Expert Panel of Lenders

Started with a Simple Frustration

Our Story

Taylor-Brown Financial was founded by Michael Taylor-Brown, who’d seen too many people treated like a number by bigger, more corporate brokers: passed between departments, chasing updates, never quite sure who was actually looking after them.

We exist because buying a home and protecting a family shouldn’t feel like filling in forms for a stranger. We wanted advice that felt personal: the kind where you’re remembered, where advice is honest even when it’s not the easy answer, and where the relationship doesn’t end the day a mortgage completes.

That founding idea still shapes Taylor-Brown Financial today. It’s why so many clients come back years later to remortgage, to review their protection, or simply because they trust us with the next big decision, and increasingly, why they send their friends and family our way too.

What We Stand For

OUR CORE VALUES

Honesty over sales

We’ll tell you if something isn’t right for you, even if that’s not what you wanted to hear.

Expert panel of lenders

We search properly rather than working from a shortlist someone else decided suited you.

A relationship, not a one-off

Many of our clients have been with us for years, through a first purchase, a move, and a remortgage after that.

Clear communication

No jargon, no going quiet after the first call, and always a real person to speak to.

Meet Michael

OUR FOUNDER

Michael Taylor-Brown founded Taylor-Brown Financial and remains the person you’ll speak to directly. With over 15 years’ experience advising on mortgages and protection, he’s built his reputation on being genuinely easy to reach and straightforward to deal with, whether that’s a quick question on a Tuesday evening or a full financial plan for your first home.

Michael brings the same hands-on approach to clients across Lincolnshire that he’s built his name on in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk for over a decade – one adviser, one standard, wherever you’re based.

I can’t recommend Michael highly enough.

I can’t recommend Michael highly enough. He makes the whole mortgage process completely stress-free and has access to mortgage deals that wouldn’t be available otherwise. He keeps you updated every step of the way, is always available to answer any questions and explains everything clearly.

Two Patches,
One Set of Standards

Taylor-Brown Financial has built its reputation across two areas: Cambridge, Newmarket and Bury St Edmunds in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk, and Stamford, Oakham and the wider Lincolnshire area. The same values apply in both: honesty over sales, clear communication, and relationships that last years rather than a single transaction.

Clients in either patch get the same FCA-authorised advice, the same complaints procedure, and the same commitment to being remembered rather than processed. Two areas, one business, one standard that doesn’t flex depending on postcode.

Michael has gone above and beyond for me, he has constantly been available, reassuring and honest. A genuine ‘great guy’ he helped me secure my mortgage as a first time buyer and kept me in the loop throughout the process. I have asked him so many questions along the way, and nothing has been too much for him. He is attentive, assertive and an absolute professional. I would recommend Michael to anyone thinking about mortgaging, remortgaging, life cover. Michael has made this process so streamlined from recommending solicitors to surveyors. I am very grateful to Michael for his consistency and enthusiasm and confidence, which helped settle my nerves during the process.

I rarely write reviews, but I had to share my experience working with Michael at Taylor Brown Financial. I have just been through complex mortgage situation with three properties being purchased at the same time. I was dreading the paperwork and jargon, but Michael made the entire process incredibly smooth. He took time to explain every fee and rate clearly, never made me feel rushed or silly for asking questions. He was proactive when dealing with the solicitors and my new lenders which was a real relief. We completed on time and I genuinely feel like I got a great deal and a hassle free process as well. If you need a mortgage, don't look anywhere else. Thanks again Michael

This is the second time I've used Michael's services and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again when it's time to renew my mortgage. Excellent service from start to finish.
