NEST Team


About Our Founder

My way into the Financial Services industry wasn’t the normal route that most brokers take. After doing a Master’s in business management specializing in hospitality and tourism, I decided to go and work in an Estate Agents!

I always had a love for property and finance, so I coupled this with my service industry education , where my passion for a great client experience serves me well. I think my education was not totally wasted as through one of my many course placements I did meet my husband!

I learned a so much from a great family run Independent estate agency about teamwork and client service ,where the focus on helping people find their dream home really suited both my skillset and personality.

Out of the blue, I was approached with an opportunity in wholesale retail, which gave me the chance to run my own business and use my existing skillset and help me learn new ones. It was a great experience and although the hours were long, the sense of ownership was fantastic. I was made an offer I could not refuse and sold my share of the business, as I wanted a new challenge. I thought I would go back to the Estate agency world but having already had Financial Service experience , decided that was the path I wanted to follow.

To further my development, I took a role as a Broker Support Advisor with a Top 5 National lender. That gave me greater insight into the mechanics of lenders and how the industry looked from the inside. Two years later, I had joined a local mortgage brokerage to further hone my skills.

I established NEST, as I wanted to offer an Independent , whole of market , personalised service . This ethos is at the centre of my companies culture ‘ Where Clients Come First ‘.

I still have the travelling bug and now get to share my holidays with a very understanding and supportive husband. I was lucky enough to play sport at a National level, so have visited many of the world’s greatest cities, so our holidays now tend to be relaxing, sun worshipping kind! I am a great dog lover and love walking in the forest and at the seaside with my crazy spaniel Milo, where I can disappear into the nature.

  • I wanted to pass on a review to Nest Mortgages. The service Is compeltely outstanding compared to most lenders/ brokers I have used in the past. I met Ania many years ago and recently in the last 3 years used her for my own mortgages. Ania is very professional, approachable and always there to be on hand even at weekends to help with any questions I had. This is one broker you need to use and work with for all your mortgages and advice. We also use her alot for clients at Thacker & Revitt. Nothing is any trouble and she has just managed to secure me a 12 month deal until my full mortgage changes. Its saved me a lot of stress and will always use her and Nest Mortgages. Thank you Nest & Ania again for a fab deal on my mortgage.

  • Thank you Ania again for your amazing service. You handled my re-mortgage previously and I had no doubts with returning to you for our house move this year. You filled us with confidence from the first step, even offering your advise on properties we were considering, before we had made a final decision. You shared in our excitement when we had our offer accepted and were with us through the entire process of the purchase. We had complete confidence in you finding the best deal for our mortgage and I would happily recommend your services to any of my family and friends looking to move in the future. Thank you for everything.

  • As a first time buyer Ania took me through each stage of the process in a kind and reassuring manner, taking the time to give me a full understanding of each stage of the mortgage process. Ania provides a true 5 star service at each stage of the process, her knowledge and professionalism are second to none. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ania & Nest to everyone I know if they were looking at taking out a mortgage. Thanks again Ania.

  • I thought that buying my first property and applying for a mortage will be difficult, but not with Anna Cooper! I could not imagine more knowledgeable and professional mortgage advisor. She made sure I understood all steps of mortgage application, advised me on all possible options, answered all my questions. I was informed about every stage of my application. I would definitely recommend Anna's services and I can't wait to remortgage and work with Anna again.

  • Firstly, I would like to start this with a massive thank you to Ania Cooper. Getting a mortgage and moving home can be one of the most challenging experiences, Ania made it a comfortable and pleasant experience. From the start of the process to the end her communication was exceptional and was always fast in her responses. Ania was professional, had a great knowledge and she is committed to offering a great service. My partner and I will not hesitate in recommending Ania going forward and in the future will be using her when we need again. Thank you again Ania!

  • I simply must recommend Ania Cooper to anybody who is looking for excellent mortgage broker services. Ania has arranged for our personal residence mortgage when our offer on the house was first accepted. Because of Ania's systematic approach, an eye for detail and long-term strategic thinking everything went smoothly. It was amazing to see her literally throwing herself into the process with an absolute 100% commitment. I guess that would be really easy to do for someone who has such depth of knowledge of the mortgage and protection markets and such great insight. Ania is inspirational, down to earth, engaging, professional and yet personal. As we have come to learn very quickly, to have Ania in our team meant for us to have things done to a very high standard and in a timely manner. With her high work ethics showing all the way through, Ania guided us through a complicated process of acquiring a mortgage right to the completion. What was impossible or hard to achieve for other mortgage brokers that we spoke with, became a reality for us when Ania entered our house purchasing process. There are really no appropriate words to thank her enough for her hard work and commitment to our success. THANK YOU, ANIA!

Nothing was too small to ask for her assistance on and I put it down to her efforts on us securing our property. Professionally Ania is dedicated and extremely motivated to succeed for her clients but is also extremely approachable on a personal level.

  • Our mortgage was not straight forward, however, Ania’s knowledge of the subject has helped us to secure our first mortgage without any problems. She was very helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, prompt and always above and beyond. Her customer service skills and clear vision of the process were remarkable. We will be definitely returning to Ania when we are due for a re-mortgage, as Ania is certainly a professional in the right place.

  • Ania was very helpful from the start to the end. Nothing seemed to be a problem. My partner and I are the first time buyers and it was important to find someone who will guide us all the way through. We've had a few meetings with different mortgage advisors and nobody explained to us everything as good as Ania did. That's why we decided to go ahead with Ania. I highly recommend Ania's service to everyone who is looking to buy a home or remortgage.

  • I would like to highly recommend Ania's services. It is a reliable company and of course a passionate person who will advise and answer every question. We couldn't get any better advice. We have easily passed a large number of domains thanks to the support of Ania. We highly recommend her.

  • Ania was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Ania’s professional advice and support has been of the highest standard. I am very happy that I followed her recommendation to remortgage my property instead of staying with my current lender as it saved me a lot of money. I honestly can recommend Ania to anybody who needs great mortgage advisor.
