Stephen Bailey
With over 25 years’ experience in financial services, I’m driven by a simple goal: helping people achieve their financial ambitions and protect their family’s future. My approach is practical, transparent and calm, whether you’re arranging a new mortgage, reviewing protection, or planning your next step.
Outside work, life is happily busy with three young children and their clubs and sports events. When time allows, I’m watching or playing a variety of sports and battling, often in vain, to trim a few shots off my golf handicap.

Ian medway
With more than 20 years in financial services, most of them with a Hertfordshire-based brokerage. I’m known for clear, concise guidance that keeps things simple and helps clients secure the property that’s right for them. Whether you’re buying your first home or moving up the ladder, my focus is on straightforward advice, steady communication, and results.
Away from the office, I’m an avid watcher (but not player!) of football, rugby and Formula One, and I enjoy live music, theatre and travel. I live in Essex with my wife and our two children.

Carrie Egan
"I cannot recommend Ian at Renew highly enough. We didn't think we would be able to buy a house prior to dealing with Ian. He was professional and patient and kept us posted every step of the way. It was a complicated situation but with Ian there was never a doubt that it could be done. I would definitely recommend!!"
Zavarin Gagov
"My wife and I have been using Mr Stephen Bailey as our mortgage consultant for over 7 years now, and we couldn't be happier. He is reliable, extremely professional, and his guidance has always been spot-on. In fact, our trust in him is so complete that when he transitioned from his previous employer to start his own independent practice, we followed him without a second thought. We highly recommend his services!"
Helen Stolting
"I have a few properties and always deal with Ian… he takes all the stress away from mortgage applications and remortgaging and finds the best deals on the market for my current situation. We locked in early on this remortgage due to world events and Ian contacted me on at least 4 occasions prior to the new rate taking effect to advise a drop in rates therefore reducing my new mortgage each time by completing new paperwork.
I have recommended him to all my friends and family!!!"
Tom Carr
"Fantastic advice received from Ian, friendly professional and helpful service!
Highly recommend!
Thanks again!"
