Email: clara@downtonmortgages.co.uk
Clara is a Mortgage and Protection Insurance Adviser. She is qualified in both CeMAP (Level 3 Certificate in Mortgage and Advice Practice) and CeRER (Certificate in Regulated Equity Release) and worked in the City of London for many years before starting work as a mortgage adviser. After working for a local firm, Clara decided to take the next big step in the mortgage business and Downton Mortgage and Financial Services was born. Before moving into mortgage qualifications, she got a Business Studies degree, specialising in finance and worked in investment banks and consultancy firms in London. Having learned a wide spectrum of knowledge working with clients in the City, the local move to be a mortgage adviser was a natural next step for her. In her spare time Clara loves travelling, dancing, baking and reading books, when not spending time with family and friends.
Alongside Clara’s qualifications, she is also a member of the Equity Release Council: Clara Downton | Equity Release Council
