About MDJ Mortgages

Small team. Big on care.

We're a Basingstoke mortgage brokerage built on reliable, forward-thinking and trustworthy advice. No call centres and no hand-offs. Just Mark, Jodie and the clients we're proud to help.

The team

The people you'll actually speak to

Mark
Managing Director

Mark Jones

Mark began his career as an equity release adviser, inspired by memories of his gran's home in Farnham. He founded MDJ Mortgages to give local families the kind of honest, personal advice he'd want for his own.

Outside work you'll find him training in karate and Muay Thai, in the gym, or listening to podcasts. His motto? “It is what it is.”

Jodie
Business Development Manager

Jodie Layzell

Jodie joined MDJ Mortgages in November 2022 after more than 20 years in retail, and brings that customer-first instinct to every client. “My favourite part of the job is when a client finally completes on their mortgage and moves into their new home!”

She loves live gigs, reading, dogs and Glastonbury. Her motto? “No worries.”

What we stand for

Reliable. Forward-thinking. Trustworthy.

Reliable

We answer the phone, reply to messages and keep you updated, so you're never left wondering what's happening.

Forward-thinking

We plan for your next deal, your family's future and changes to your income, not just today's rate.

Trustworthy

Clear fees, honest recommendations, and we'll tell you when the answer is “not yet”.
