Sean Bowling Cemap MLIBF

As well as being the owner of sbl financial, I am also a mortgage and protection specialist. For the last 15 years, I have carved a niche in the non-high street market, working with specialist firms to help people with historic arrears and credit issues, complex income and self-employed as well as non-conforming properties. I thrive on thinking outside of the box for solutions to complex and difficult situations and take pride and satisfaction in helping clients whilst empowering the people I work with.
