Take one step closer to joining the thousands of clients we’ve helped make mortgages easy.
Hi, I’m Craig Canavan, a Mortgage & Protection Adviser here at Mortgage Experience. I’m based in Formby, Merseyside.
I spent 20 years in IT building software systems—basically solving problems and untangling messes for a living. When I moved into property software, I got a proper look at how people actually buy houses, and I couldn’t believe how confusing and stressful the whole thing was.
That’s what made me want to do this differently. All those years fixing problems? I now use that same mindset to make your house buying journey as painless as possible. I handle all the tech stuff behind the scenes so you don’t have to think about it. You just need to focus on finding your dream home—I’ll worry about making the mortgage bit work.
My job is simple: get you from where you are now to holding your keys, with as few headaches as possible
I work with everyone, but I get a real buzz from helping people whose situations are a bit different. Self-employed? Brilliant, let’s work with what you’ve got.
Had some credit wobbles? No judgment here—let’s find lenders who’ll actually listen to your story.
I work with buy to let landlords, contractors, and people whose jobs don’t fit the usual nine-to-five mould. There are lenders out there who understand real life—I just know where to find them.
Whether you’re buying your first home, remortgaging to get a better deal, or moving up the ladder, I’m here to make it happen and find the right solution for you.

By working with a wide range of lenders, including specialist providers not available directly to the public, we’re able to offer far more choice than most banks. Our focus is always on finding the most suitable mortgage for your circumstances, not forcing you into a product that doesn’t quite fit.
We offer a full range of mortgage services to homebuyers, homeowners, and investors in Formby and surrounding areas.
Buying your first home can feel overwhelming, especially with rising house prices and changing lender criteria. Our advisers will explain your options clearly, help you understand how much you can borrow, and guide you through the process from start to finish. We can also advise on first-time buyer schemes and incentives that may help you get onto the property ladder sooner.
If your current mortgage deal is coming to an end, or you’re looking to reduce your monthly repayments, remortgaging could make a big difference. We’ll review your existing mortgage, compare thousands of deals across the market, and help you secure a more competitive rate. Many Formby homeowners also choose to remortgage to release equity for home improvements or other financial goals.
Formby’s desirable location makes it an attractive area for property investors. Whether you’re purchasing your first rental property or expanding a portfolio, we can help you find a buy to let mortgage that supports your investment plans.
