About Sumaiya Patel
Sumaiya joined NeedingAdvice.co.uk as a Mortgage Broker and Protection Adviser and has been part of the team for nearly three years. She holds her CeMAP qualification and brings a background that is genuinely different to most people in the industry — before training as a broker, she worked as an auditor and compliance officer for a water utility company. That means she understands regulatory frameworks, attention to detail, and the importance of getting things right first time. It shows in the way she approaches every case.
Sumaiya advises across the full range of residential mortgage and protection products — first-time buyers, home movers, remortgages, and life and critical illness cover. Her clients consistently describe her as friendly, thorough, and genuinely invested in their outcome. Read any of her reviews and you will see the same two words come up again and again: helpful and friendly.
Outside of work, Sumaiya is a mum to a four-year-old daughter, and in what little spare time she has she enjoys reading, going out for meals, and — by her own admission — spending her hard-earned money on beautiful designer wear. She is a valued part of the NeedingAdvice.co.uk team, and her clients are lucky to have her.
