Heide’s Blog – 16th July 2020

Today, 16th July, is #GetToKnowYourCustomer Day!

Generally, I need to know quite a lot about all of my customers.

Not just because I’m nosy (although I am! 🙂 )

But because quite a lot of information is required by lenders to allow them to make a decision about whether or not to lend to somebody.

So, how about I tell you something about me?

So you can get to your broker better?

I’m 51 years old
I’m married
I have a 16 year old son (Covid GCSE year! 🙁 )
I have a dog
My daily routine starts with walking the dog at around 6.30am
I’m self-employed
I’m a bit scatty – but I have employed an apprentice who does a wonderful job of looking after me and making sure everything runs smoothly

I joined the army and served 8 years
I was medically discharged
I had my first hip replacement at 23
I had my most recent hip replacement in 2015
I’ve had 6 blood transfusions so am no longer allowed to give blood (thank you to ALL of you who donate – you are awesome x)
We own 5 houses and rent 3 of them out
There are mortgages on 4 of the properties (and I did them! 😉 )
