Who we are

Mark Potter founded Major Money Matters in July 2004 and built it the slow way, one client and one returned phone call at a time. Twenty years on, Major Money Matters is a family firm of four advisers arranging circa £170m of lending during the 2025–26 financial year, with Oliver Potter advising on bridging and specialist cases. Most of our work still comes from clients on their second, third or fourth mortgage with us, and a growing share from their children, coming back for a first home of their own.

Major Money Matters Ltd is an appointed representative of Sesame Ltd, one of the largest broker networks in the UK. That gives us access to over 65 lenders across the market, real compliance support behind every case, and the operating weight of a much bigger firm. We are still small enough that you will know your adviser by name.

Why we exist

The mortgage market is splitting in two. On one side, single-lender stacks where the broker, conveyancer, surveyor and protection panel all sit inside the same group, and your case follows the route their pipeline is built for. On the other, small brokers running on their own, with no operational support behind them when a case gets hard.

Major Money Matters sits deliberately between the two. Access to over 65 lenders across the market. Integrated conveyancing and protection where it genuinely helps you, optional where it does not. No walled-garden routing and no captive conveyancing panel. Broad choice. Integrated support. In your corner.

The team

Four advisers, between them covering residential, buy-to-let, bridging, specialist contractor and self-employed cases, and protection. A named adviser stays with you wherever possible, from first call to completion and future remortgages. No call centre, no junior handover. Meet them below.

What we expect of ourselves

Access to over 65 lenders across the market, never a single-lender tie.
A named adviser wherever possible. We try not to pass you between people.
We aim to return your call as quickly as we can, every day we are open.
An honest answer when a case is hard, and a clear plan if it can still be placed.
If we cannot place a case, we tell you why, and we tell you who can.
