Hi, I’m Lewis McKenna, a Mortgage & Protection Adviser here at Mortgage Experience. I’m based in Maidstone, Kent, and after many years in the financial industry, I’ve built not only a strong foundation of knowledge, but a genuine passion for helping people achieve something truly life-changing, owning their home.
My journey in financial services began in 2019, driven by my long-standing interest in finance and business. I earned my CeMAP qualification independently and took a leap of faith into the mortgage world. Since then, I’ve gone on to own two successful Kent-based businesses and build a portfolio of buy-to-let properties, all starting from absolute zero. Because of that, I understand what hard work, determination, and having the right support can do. And that’s exactly what I aim to give my clients.
I started my career as a mortgage and protection adviser and progressed to a senior role covering three major estate agency branches across Kent. Over the years, I’ve developed a reputation for going the extra mile — often securing mortgages where other advisers haven’t. I’ve worked with clients from all backgrounds, including many with complex situations, and I’ve learned that every client has their own unique story. Home ownership isn’t just a financial goal; it’s personal. It’s emotional. And I take that responsibility seriously.
For me, securing your mortgage is just the beginning. I’m here to guide you through every step, fill in the gaps, answer the questions you didn’t know you needed to ask, and make the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
I’ve worked across mainstream lending, complex cases, and everything in between. No two clients are ever the same, and that’s what I love about this job. I take real pride in doing whatever it takes to get you the outcome you hope for — and the home you’ve dreamed of.
As a whole of market mortgage & protection adviser I provide advice to my clients on all mortgage and remortgage requirements, however I do also specialise in the following areas:
CCJ/Defaults
Self Employed
Bad Credit
Shared ownership
Right to buy
Buy to lets (personal and limited company)
