James Watson

CeMAP
Mortgage & Protection Adviser & Commercial Lending Specialist

Before becoming a financial consultant, I studied Business and Economics, then worked in the City for two years in the finance industry before studying and qualifying as a mortgage adviser.

At MB Associates, I work with a diverse range of clients. Alongside residential mortgages and protection, I now specialise in commercial lending. I enjoy being a commercial broker because no two transactions are ever the same. Every client, property and challenge brings a new set of variables, and I thrive on digging into the details to find the right solution. The problem-solving aspect of commercial lending is what makes this work so rewarding, and seeing a strategy come together successfully is the most satisfying part of my work.

Outside of work, I’m a keen rugby fan (Harlequins) and a regular at The Stoop. I also enjoy American football and baseball (the Indianapolis Colts and the Detroit Tigers). When I get the chance, I love travelling and have explored Malaysia, Bali, the Philippines and many parts of Africa.

Random fact about me: I am in the Guinness World Records for playing the longest game of rugby – it lasted for 30 hours, 29 minutes and 41 seconds.
“I know how overjoyed and relieved I was when I signed all the paperwork on my first home, and I always bear this in mind when I’m working through the mortgage process with my clients – I understand how stressful it can be, but I also know how great it feels when you get the keys in your hand!”
