Founder & Mortgage Adviser, RPS Mortgages

For Robert Stroud, mortgage advice has always been about more than simply finding a competitive interest rate. It's about helping people make confident financial decisions at some of the most important moments in their lives.

As the founder of RPS Mortgages, Robert has built his business around straightforward advice, honest communication and a commitment to putting clients first. Whether someone is buying their very first home, moving house, remortgaging or investing in property, every client receives the same personal approach and attention to detail.

A Personal Approach to Mortgage Advice
Robert believes that no two clients are the same.

Every mortgage application has its own story, which is why he takes the time to understand each client's circumstances before recommending a solution. By combining whole-of-market mortgage research with a detailed understanding of lender criteria, he helps clients secure mortgage solutions that genuinely fit their needs rather than simply choosing the lowest advertised rate.

Throughout the process, Robert manages applications from the initial consultation through to completion, working closely with lenders, solicitors and estate agents to keep everything progressing as smoothly as possible.

Specialist Experience When You Need It Most
Many clients come to RPS Mortgages after being told their circumstances are "too difficult" by other advisers or lenders.

Robert has developed particular experience in helping clients whose applications require a more considered approach, including:

Self-employed applicants
Company directors
Buy-to-let investors
Clients with complex income structures
Applicants with previous credit issues
Non-standard mortgage scenarios
Rather than relying solely on automated systems, Robert carefully assesses each case and identifies lenders whose criteria genuinely match the client's circumstances.

Building Relationships, Not Just Mortgages
One of the things Robert values most is the long-term relationships he builds with his clients.

Many return years later when it's time to remortgage, move home or expand their property portfolio, while others are introduced through recommendations from friends, family and previous clients.

This reputation has been built on clear communication, responsiveness and ensuring clients always understand their options before making important financial decisions. Recent client reviews consistently highlight his professionalism, knowledge, proactive communication and ability to simplify what can often feel like a complex process.

Advice You Can Trust
As a whole-of-market mortgage and protection adviser, Robert is committed to providing impartial advice tailored to each client's circumstances.

His goal is simple:

To make obtaining the right mortgage as straightforward, transparent and stress-free as possible, while giving every client the confidence that they have made the right decision for their future.
Whether you're buying your first home, remortgaging, investing in property or facing a more complex borrowing situation, Robert and RPS Mortgages are ready to help guide you every step of the way.
