Help Katrina Horstead raise money to support Dementia Support

18/06/2026

The Bank of England has held the base rate at 3.75% today.

While the decision was widely expected, it provides an important insight into how policymakers view the economy.

For borrowers, today’s announcement means no immediate change for tracker mortgages. For those considering a fixed rate, lenders will continue to focus on inflation and expectations for future rate cuts.

For investors, a steady rate environment can be positive. Lower inflation and the prospect of future rate reductions may support market confidence and create opportunities for both equities and bonds.

The key takeaway? Markets and mortgage rates are influenced not only by today’s decision, but by what investors and policymakers expect to happen next.

Whether you’re building wealth, buying your first home, or planning your next move, understanding the bigger picture can help you make more informed financial decisions.

There’s still time to book your place ✨

A financial adviser and a well-being coach in the same room.

Because the practical and the personal have always been the same conversation.

Our focus for this “Ambitious & Intentional” session is on building financial foundations that actually matter, navigating careers, salary negotiation, pensions and the self-employment question, alongside the associated identity shifts, the high functioning anxiety and the ambition that’s quietly waiting for permission.

The numbers and the feelings. Together, finally.

Join me, .versed and for the first monthly webinar in our Abundance Edit series.

Wednesday 17th June
11.45-12.45
It’s free, it’s an hour and it’s well worth your lunch break!

Hey,👋

We’re .versed and .versed , co founders and independent financial advisers at Versed.

We wanted to reintroduce ourselves and share a little reminder of who we are, what we do and why we created Versed.

We started Versed to offer financial advice that feels clear, thoughtful and genuinely personal. A space where women can feel comfortable talking about money, mortgages, protection and the plans they have for their future.

Together with our team, .versed and .versed , we support women building careers, businesses, families and lives they love, helping them make confident decisions about their wealth, their homes and what matters most.

Our approach is calm, collaborative and tailored to each client. No jargon, no judgement, just advice that meets you where you are and grows with you.

Welcome to Versed.

We believe financial decisions are not just financial. They’re bound up in who you are, what you’ve been through, and what you want your life to look like.

The Abundance Edit brings together a financial advisor and a wellbeing coach for something we don’t think exists anywhere else; an honest, intelligent conversation about money and the life around it.

If that sounds like something you’ve been waiting for we’d love to have you in the room.

Book your free place via the link in the bio. Sessions held virtually 8-11 June from 11.45-12.45.

Something we’ve been quietly building is finally ready to share ✨

We believe that your financial life and your emotional life are the same life. That the big money decisions; the ones that keep you up at night, the ones you’ve been meaning to get to, the ones that arrived wrapped in something much heavier than a spreadsheet, have never really been just about money.

So we created a space for that conversation.

The Abundance Edit is a free series of four intimate live conversations with .versed and about money, wellbeing and what it means for you.

Brought to you by a financial advisor and a wellbeing coach, who have spent years working on opposite sides of the same story, and who believe it’s time they were finally told together.

8th - 11th June. 11.45-12.45.

Details and registration in bio.

We’d love to have you in the room ✨

Big affordability update for higher earners!

Some lenders are continuing to increase borrowing flexibility for high earning applicants and the latest criteria enhancement from one lender is a significant one!

Joint applicants with a combined income of £150k+ may now be able to borrow up to 6.5x income at 75% LTV or below.

For the right clients, this could mean:
• Increased purchasing power
• More flexibility when upsizing
• Greater access to prime property markets

Not all lenders assess income in the same way.

Bonus income, RSUs, deferred compensation and international earnings can all dramatically impact affordability depending on lender criteria and application strategy.

At Versed Financial, we specialise in helping high earning professionals navigate the mortgage market with a tailored and strategic approach.

If you are exploring your next move and want to understand your options, feel free to get in touch.

35%.

That’s how much less pension wealth women retire with compared to men, on average.

It’s not bad luck. It’s career breaks, part-time work, the pay gap, and a financial industry that has historically forgotten to speak to women.

But it doesn’t have to be your story.

Our latest journal post breaks down exactly why the gender pension gap exists, and what you can do about it, starting today.
