Meet the Team
Helen Clift
Mortgage & Protection Advisor
I'm a Mortgage & Protection Advisor and co-founder here at Greenstone Mortgages bringing over 25 years of experience in banking and finance. After taking time out to raise my four children, I returned to the industry and chose to specialise in mortgage planning. My career has provided me with a wealth of knowledge and insight, which I now use to guide clients through their mortgage and protection needs with clarity and confidence. I offer complete flexibility and work around my clients' schedules—whether that means daytime appointments, evening meetings, or ongoing conversations as and when they need support. I spend many evenings staying in touch with clients, answering their questions, and helping them explore their options. Providing a personal, responsive service is at the heart of everything I do. Outside of work, Helen enjoys staying active, whether it's hitting the gym or going for walks with her Cockerpoo, Reggie. Her weekends are often dedicated to traveling around the country, cheering on four children as they pursue their hobbies & activities.

What Sets Us Apart?
We use the latest technology to access live mortgage data, helping us identify the most suitable deals quickly and efficiently, saving you time, effort, and potentially money.
Unlike banks and building societies, we're not tied to any single lender or a restricted panel. We have comprehensive, real-time access to the UK mortgage market, including residential mortgages, buy-to-let options, and equity release products. This means we can find the right mortgage to suit your needs — not just the lender's.
We take time to understand your personal and financial goals. Then we match your needs with the best available products on the market ensuring our advice is always in your best interest.
Securing an appointment with a high street lender can be difficult and even then, they can only offer their own products. As fully qualified mortgage advisers, we make it easy to deal with us on your terms:
- Face-to-face
- Over the phone
- Online via email or video call.
We understand that life is busy, so we let you choose how and when you'd like to connect.
If your credit score isn't perfect, we can still help. We have access to a wide range of credit repair mortgages, designed for clients with less-than-ideal credit histories.
Once your mortgage is in place, we manage the entire process from offer to completion.
We'll coordinate with your lender, solicitor, and estate agent, keeping everyone updated and ensuring a smooth transaction right up until you receive the keys to your new home.
To complement your mortgage, we offer a full suite of protection packages, giving you and your family added peace of mind.
- At Greenstone Mortgages, our mission is to provide straightforward, expert mortgage advice with personal service, modern tools, and complete transparency.
- We're here to make your mortgage journey simple, stress-free, and truly tailored to you.

Testimonials
"What can I say!? I cannot recommend Helen enough!! She has been an absolute god send throughout the process of buying my first home. Helen was so patient and kind whilst answering my many, many questions, and honestly, I wouldn't have wanted to try and tackle this process without her on my side. She clearly discussed with me what I could afford to borrow, and explained everything from start to finish with knowledge and professionalism. Helen, thank you for making my home owning dreams come true! Highly recommend!!"
"Amazing service as always from start to finish. Even got a new house card and a bottle of wine on moving day."
"Helen was fantastic at helping me with mortgage for my first home. She made the process easier and stress free! I would definitely recommend!"
"We have just brought our first house as first time buyers and I am so glad Helen was recommended to me! She was there through out the whole journey and really guided us and discussed all our options to make sure we understood the whole process and made it as simple as possible, no question was too silly for Helen! I would recommend Helen to any buyers out there, especially first time as she has a wealth of knowledge and experience! She was always easily contactable and there if we needed her! Thank you so much Helen!"
"Helen has been a great help to us organising two new mortgages, one being a buy-to let for a rental property. With a wealth of knowledge, Helen guided me every step of the way explaining the best options for us and looking at the different rates in these very uncertain times where rates are up and down from one month to the next. Needless to say, we have been so pleased that we have secured a tracker mortgage that suits us and secured a great rate for our buy-to-let. Thank you for your patience and for following up on everything. Your advice and attention to detail was brilliant. Well done and until next time."
"Fantastic experience with David and the team. They seamlessly helped us secure a mortgage valuation and subsequent offer, after we had previously had difficulties against a very old property that we knew had issues. Thanks very much guys."
"Absolute brilliant experience with David. I couldn't have wished for more. I was recommended Dave and within 4 days (even with a physical valuation from the bank) I was able to get a mortgage offer. Communication was outstanding and very patient with questions as we are first time buyers. I will be recommending David to everyone. thank you again!! So happy!!"
"I cannot recommend Dave highly enough! From start to finish, he provided exceptional service, going above and beyond to ensure a smooth mortgage process. Not only did Dave secure the best possible deal for me, but he also offered invaluable advice throughout the sales process. As a first time buyer, this was especially key for me. What truly set Dave apart was his willingness to step in when challenges arose. Thanks to his industry expertise and network, he helped escalate issues and resolve them quickly, ensuring the process stayed on track. His proactive approach, professionalism, and dedication made all the difference, and I am incredibly grateful. If you are looking for a mortgage broker who genuinely cares and delivers outstanding results, look no further than Dave!"
"As a first-time buyer, I was quite nervous about the whole process, but Helen made everything so much easier. She explained every step clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I fully understood my options. What could have been an overwhelming experience felt smooth and stress-free thanks to her guidance. She was always quick to respond, kept me updated throughout, and really went above and beyond to make sure I got the right mortgage for my situation. I couldn't recommend enough an absolute lifesaver for first- time buyers! Thank you!"
