NextGen Podcast Turns Spotlight on Bridging Mortgages and Wealth Planning
Mortgage Strategy has released the second episode of its MS NextGen Podcast, in which host Kimberley Dondo speaks with Evie Beaumont, Financial Adviser at Lincolnshire Independent Financial Advisers. Beaumont is a member of the MS NextGen Class of 2026, part of the publication's 12-month talent accelerator that identifies, develops and champions 30 promising professionals under 30 across the UK mortgage and protection sector.
From Paraplanning to Client-Facing Advice
In the episode, Beaumont traces her journey through the profession, describing how hands-on experience as a paraplanner and mortgage broker shaped her move into holistic financial advice. She discusses the steep learning curve involved in stepping into direct, client-facing advice, and explains how technical behind-the-scenes knowledge helps when handling complex cases.
Why Property Finance and Wealth Planning Should Connect
A central theme of the conversation is Beaumont's view that bridging the gap between property finance and wider wealth planning is essential for clients. For letting agents and inventory clerks, the discussion shows how advisers increasingly treat property transactions as part of a broader financial picture rather than in isolation.
Advice for the Next Cohort
Beaumont also reflects on her experience within the MS NextGen 30 Under 30 cohort and shares advice for anyone considering putting themselves forward for the 2027 intake. Applications for the 2027 cohort open later in September 2026, and interested professionals can pre-register their interest online now.
The full video conversation is available alongside an audio player, and the episode can also be heard on all major podcast platforms.
