About Us
Jones & Young are Independent Mortgage Lenders based in Petersfield, Hampshire covering the whole of the UK.
Mark Jones and Richard Young met at a local networking group and quickly realised that collaboration, rather than competition was key. The joining of forces meant that they could share knowledge and expertise and make sure more clients received the outcomes they deserved.
Mark Jones
Mark co-founded Jones & Young and serves as one of its directors.
He is a mortgage specialist with particular expertise in helping self-employed clients, including those working under the CIS (Construction Industry Scheme). He regularly works with contractors and business owners to use CIS statements as payslips and assess net profit rather than just salary and dividends. This allows clients to stay tax-efficient while still accessing the mortgage they need.
Based in Bishop’s Waltham, Mark lives with his wife and young daughter, and enjoys spending time outdoors with his family. He’s known for his friendly, down-to-earth approach and takes pride in making the mortgage process as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or growing your property portfolio, Mark is committed to finding the right solution for your circumstances.
Richard Young
Richard is a co-founder and director of Jones & Young, lending his name and expertise to the business.
He specialises in more complex areas of lending, including portfolio landlord mortgages, unusual buy-to-let cases, bridging finance, commercial lending, and later life mortgage solutions.
With a deep understanding of these niche markets, he supports clients who need tailored advice and strategic guidance.
Based in Petersfield, Richard lives with his wife, son and daughter. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his family, running, and playing golf. He regularly plays a round with his father, who also had a long career in financial services.

We recently engaged with the J&Y team about a mortgage. We spoke to Mark who was very welcoming and friendly, getting to know us through conversation, and discussing the potential property we were looking at. This all helped confirm our interest in the house and gave Mark a good platform to be able to offer us advise on the correct mortgage for us as a family.Posted on Google

Would recommend to absolutely everyone! Sheila was amazing at not only securing us our mortgage offer but also the process afterwards as we were first time buyers we did not know much but Sheila was more than happy to talk us through the steps, going above and beyond her job role! Sheila was always available to answer questions and put our worries at ease and as someone who stresses about everything this made the process so much more bearable. Very responsive and helped through the entire process! Thank you so so much and we are so grateful. Highly recommend and will be referring to friends and family.Posted on Google

I cannot express my gratitude enough to Richard Young. As a first time buyer I came into the house purchase process completely clueless and Richard helped me through every step of the way. From our first introductory call years back when I started saving through to today he's been exceptional and always gone above and beyond. We're now weeks away from completing on our home and Richard is continuing to help, from securing Home and Contents Insurance quotes to persistently searching to see if he can get us a lower interest rate before our mortgage goes live. If you are looking for a trustworthy, knowledgable and down to earth broker then look no further than Jones&Young. I guarantee you he will have your best interests at heart.Posted on Google

We couldn't be happier with the service Jones&Young provided to help us get a mortgage! This was a very long process, and Sheila our mortgage broker was thoughtful, hardworking and extremely knowledgable to achieve the mortgage we needed to get us started, as first time buyers, on the property ladder. Thank you so much!Posted on Google

I had the pleasure of working with Jones and Young Limited, and I can't recommend them enough. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, efficient, and stress-free. Sheila Blacklaw was incredibly knowledgeable about the mortgage process and took the time to explain all of the options available to me. She truly listened to my needs and found a solution that perfectly aligned with my financial goals. What stood out the most was her clear communication and her dedication to going above and beyond to ensure I understood every step of the process. She was always available to answer any questions, no matter how small, and her professionalism gave me the confidence that I was in great hands. Thanks to her hard work, I secured a fantastic rate and was able to close on my dream home faster than expected. If you’re looking for a mortgage broker who truly puts their clients first, look no further than Jones and Young Limited (Sheila Blacklaw). I’ll definitely be recommending them to my friends and family!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
