Our Story

Jonny and Paul’s story is the heart of why Haysto was created - to fight for people who’ve been unfairly turned away by lenders. Haysto’s mission is built on real experiences and the belief that everyone deserves a fair chance at homeownership, no matter their credit or job situation. We understand the emotional toll of being told "no", and we’re here to change that by making mortgages possible for those who need it most.

How It All Started

When Jonny Met Paul

Jonny needed a mortgage, but after going to his high street bank for help, he was laughed out because he was self-employed and also had a bad credit history. He then spoke to a number of mortgage brokers who all told him his dream of owning a home wasn’t going to happen. But then Jonny met Paul.

Paul was a specialist mortgage broker who took the time to listen to Jonny and found him a mortgage with a specialist lender - a lender with human underwriters who looked at the story behind the numbers. Jonny soon realised his situation was far from unique. Lots of eligible people get unfairly turned down for a mortgage - they often aren’t aware there’s a whole specialist mortgage market there to help people just like them. So Jonny and Paul teamed up to create Haysto to make mortgages possible for more people.

Our personal experience means we know how it feels when someone tells you “No” and you feel the dream of owning your own home slipping away. It can be devastating.

But the solution is simple: you need a specialist Mortgage Expert. We’ll match you with one of our experts with a proven track record of helping people like you get a mortgage. They’ll know the specialist lenders who regularly give mortgages to people like you.

Just as Paul made a mortgage possible for Jonny, we’ll work hard to make a mortgage possible for you.

“I never want someone to go through what I went through. The mortgage world is broken. If you don’t have a shiny credit rating or work a 9-5 then most doors are closed to you. I remember going to my bank and being laughed at. I was humiliated. When I found Paul, he genuinely wanted to help - and years later he became my co-founder when we launched Haysto.

We know life has its ups and downs. What's happened in the past shouldn't determine what happens next. But unfortunately, that's how most high-street banks and mainstream mortgage brokers look at it. Because of this, eligible people are unnecessarily trapped in rent cycles or paying more than they should on their current mortgage.

Haysto's mission is to give everyone an equal chance of homeownership the first time around - without having to be knocked back countless times needlessly.”
