In this episode of the Property Funder Podcast, host Michael Dean welcomes back returning guest Adam Stiles, Managing Director of Helix Financial Partners. Since his last appearance, Helix has grown from a team of three to a thriving nine-person brokerage, and Adam shares the ups and downs of scaling a business during a volatile market.

The conversation dives into the evolution of Helix’s offering, including residential and buy-to-let mortgages, protection products, and structured finance. Adam discusses the importance of moving from working in the business to on the business, and how coaching has reshaped their approach to leadership and growth.

They also unpack current trends across property finance, from 100% mortgages and JV deal structures to developer appetite, planning bottlenecks, and the often-frustrating valuation process. Adam shares hard-won insights on navigating professional relationships with valuers, lawyers, and lenders—and how clarity, speed, and communication remain crucial in today’s market.

The pair also discuss market predictions, the increasing role of semi-commercial investments, and why brokers must broaden their knowledge of different finance types. It’s a wide-ranging, candid chat full of value for brokers, lenders, developers, and anyone involved in property finance.
