Mortgage Required in the Community

We are delighted to have teamed up with Desborough Bowling club who recently moved to their fantastic new £5M state of the art facility in Maidenhead. We were due to sponsor the “Mortgage Required Trophy” in 2020 which was an exciting competition between clubs in the area. Unfortunately due to the pandemic the event had to be cancelled. Whilst we were all disappointed the event could not take place we have made a commitment to continue our sponsorship and help with the event as soon as restrictions allow. We look forward to working with the club in the future helping to promote the facility as well as being on hand for any mortgage advice their members may need. Hopefully in return their members will teach our team how to play bowls.

I understand the guests all had an excellent afternoon in the sunshine, however it is just possible the team representing Mortgage Required had an even better one as they chatted with the guests, joined in the sing song and enjoyed the spectacular scenery on the Thames.”
