Stephanie Burke appointed as Director of Risk and Compliance

17 July 2024

April Mortgages has appointed Stephanie Burke as Director of Risk and Compliance in the latest step in its journey to provide greater peace of mind to the mortgage market.

April Mortgages’ innovative range of 5-15 year fixed rate mortgages aims to deliver true certainty and flexibility for longer terms than have ever previously been on offer to UK borrowers.

Customers can take advantage of mortgages up to 95% LTV, with a rate that automatically drops as they move into lower LTV brackets. What’s more, there are no early repayment charges for those who redeem the mortgage when moving home or overpayment charges when using their own funds.

Stephanie brings great experience to April Mortgages, having headed up various Compliance teams within mortgage lenders and broker firms, as well as the insight gained from starting her career on the operations side as a mortgage adviser. As a result, she understands first-hand how important it is in the current climate for April to offer greater certainty and peace of mind to both borrowers and advisers.

Stephanie Burke, Director of Risk and Compliance at April Mortgages, said:

“April Mortgages is shaking up the mortgage market, and I’m excited to join the team at such an early stage in its journey.

“Financial wellbeing has never been more important than it is now, and April’s products offer security and stability for longer fixed periods and flexibility that rewards existing customers. April offers peace of mind to borrowers, allowing them to actually plan for their futures without the stress of remortgaging every two years or the uncertainty of interest rate changes.

“The UK mortgage market is geared towards advisers recommending the cheapest product to customers for the short-term, rather than considering the financial and mental health benefits of long-term certainty. Something I really like about April’s product is that it has been designed to offer the adviser long-term certainty and peace of mind too, so they feel supported by April to do the right thing for their customers.”

Mark Eaton, Chief Operating Officer at April Mortgages, added:
“It’s been an exciting start for April Mortgages, and our mission to spread peace of mind across the mortgage market has been warmly received by advisers and borrowers alike. We are building a fantastic team, and Stephanie’s experience will be integral in helping us make a real difference.”
