Who we are

Hi, I'm Alfie Tennant, the owner and founder of CrowNEST Mortgages. With over 22 years in the financial services industry, I understand the importance of honesty and approachability. I am dedicated to helping you find the best mortgage deal in a friendly, transparent way.
My journey began at the Abbey National mortgage call centre in Bradford in 2003. Since then, I've built strong ties with the community through my work with local branches of Santander and Yorkshire Bank. I have been self-employed since 2015, & In 2021, I took the next step to rebrand the business as CrowNEST Mortgages. The company is named after the local area in Bingley, West Yorkshire, where we currently live.
What areas do we cover?
We provide mortgage advice to clients locally (Bradford, Leeds, Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield) and across the UK. We are primarily an online-only mortgage broker and conduct most appointments by phone or via Zoom, Teams, or similar platforms. We also offer a secure online portal for clients to upload documents and send messages.
We provide the same service as a face-to-face mortgage broker, helping customers secure the most suitable mortgage without time-consuming in-person meetings. We use technology to speed up your application, deliver the best possible mortgage broker experience, and help you find a mortgage. You'll still speak to a real human mortgage adviser.
How it works
Initial Consultation and Fact-Find
A free initial conversation, conducted over the phone or via Zoom, Teams, or similar platforms, to get to know your situation and decide whether we are a good fit. Next, we complete the fact-find to assess your income and expenditure so we understand what is realistic.
Product Recommendation
We research and source a mortgage from a comprehensive panel of lenders, which is representative of the whole of the market, to find a suitable lender and product for you, a clear recommendation, with the reasons explained in plain English.
Full Application and Submission
If you accept our recommendation, we will gather your documents and submit an agreement in principle (AIP) to the mortgage lender. Once this is approved, we will then submit the full mortgage application to the recommended lender.
Mortgage offer and completion
The lender checks the property and your details before issuing the mortgage offer. (Subject to your application being approved) We then guide you through the remainder of the process until completion.
How can we help?
We offer expert advice across the full range of mortgage products.
