Lyndsay Fairhurst
Mortgage and Protection Adviser
Hi, I’m Lyndsay.
With over 15 years experience in Estate Agency, Mortgage Advice and Financial Services, I offer all of
my clients a totally personalised and professional service in all aspects of their mortgage. Whether it
be a full involvement in the purchase of a new property (including negotiating on purchase prices,
dealing with chains, dealing with solicitors etc or remortgaging your property and/or raising funds. I
aim to be your only point of contact throughout the process.
I have been married to my husband Dave for over 12 years and we have a daughter Mia, and Rafiki,
the mad but soft Cockapoo. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going on holidays and
generally enjoying myself.
I became self employed over 5 years as I was frustrated with the restrictions on the service I could
provide for clients with being an employed advisor and also I wanted to be able to spend more
precious time with my daughter as she grew up.
The name of Midavlyn reflects the family values of the company as its originates from the names of
myself, my Husband Dave and my daughter Mia (not sure why I am last) and therefore is very
important to me.
Claire Doogan
Mortgage and Protection Adviser
Hi, I’m Claire.
I’ve worked in financial services for over 15 years, starting my career in banking and specialising in mortgages for the past 10. During that time, I’ve helped many clients navigate what can often feel like a complicated process.
For me, it’s all about understanding my clients’ needs. I take the time to listen, learn about your goals and provide bespoke advice tailored to your circumstances and future plans.
From finding the most suitable mortgage for you, to managing the application through to completion, I’m there every step of the way and always available to support my clients whenever they need guidance.
Because it’s not just about getting the keys to your home – it’s about helping you keep the dream too, making sure you and your family are financially protected if life throws the unexpected your way.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, moving home, remortgaging or looking to raise funds for home improvements, you can expect a professional, personal service built entirely around you.

I pride myself in providing tailored advice that reflects each client’s individual circumstances and long-term goals, helping them navigate the decisions involved in securing their home and protecting their financial future.
Outside of work, I love travelling (I have lived and worked in 3 different continents), volunteering with the National trust, spending quality time with my friends and family, especially cosy winter nights around my log burner, and chilling out with my cat, Molly – a true diva who keeps life entertaining and who is the real boss of the house.
Every mortgage journey is unique and I am committed to providing clarity and support – ‘with you all the way home’
