We are a family run business with integrity as our cornerstone. We pride ourselves on our knowledge and experience, specifically within the mortgage and protection arena, as well as our role as expert witness in family law proceedings. Our business has grown over the years, and one of the main reasons for this growth has been clients referring friends and family, having had an excellent experience. This applies equally to clients and solicitors who have instructed us to produce Mortgage Capacity Reports. We are firmly in favour of the Collaborative Law process and are proud of our Resolution membership.

Anthea Pienaar CeMAP - Mortgage and Protection Adviser
Anthea has been a Mortgage and Protection Broker since 2003, having worked as a Personal Choice Manager at Lloyds Bank for a number of years prior to that. Anthea enjoys regular walks on the South Downs with the family and their dog, and she practices Yoga whenever she can make the time.
"When deciding to establish Protea Financial Services, Jacques and I decided to use our wealth of collective experience to focus on what we believe to be the area with the greatest potential for growth, and one that we both enjoy helping clients with, namely Mortgages and Protection . The Protea is South Africa's national flower, and as Jacques and I were both born there (and I love flowers) it seemed a fitting name for our business."
Customer Testimonials
"This is my second time using protea, Anthea found the best deal which fit my needs for my new mortgage. Always kept me up to date on how things were working out and letting me know what was needed for the banks. Highly recommend!"
"Anthea made the whole process of arranging a mortgage completely stress free for me after being let down by an inadequate bank. My mortgage was not straight forward due to age and pensions, but she still sailed this through in very short time, with an excellent offer being the result. I cannot praise Anthea and her company enough, great communication from the word go, very personal and professional."
"Great devotion - superb support and a dogged determination to get the best possible deal for you "
