About us
Dream Casa Mortgage Consultancy began with a dream of its own, Taihnee Bernardes’ dream of helping people build a brighter future through home ownership. Taihnee moved to the United Kingdom 20 years ago, embracing the challenges and opportunities of a new country.
With over a decade of experience in the British financial market, she’s honed her expertise at leading institutions like NatWest and Barclays. Along the way, she earned a master’s degree in business management from the University of London and her Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice (CeMAP 1, 2 & 3) from The London Institute of Banking and Finance.
In 2021, Taihnee brought her passion to life by founding Dream Casa Mortgage Consultancy. Since then, our team has hundreds of families turn their dreams of owning a home into a reality—faster and with less stress than they ever imagined.

What deposit you’ll need
How your visa, credit history, and income will affect your mortgage options
We explain everything in simple terms—no jargon, no pressure.
-
This is your chance to ask anything—from “What is a mortgage?” to “Can I buy with someone else?” or “Is it better to wait or start now?” We’ll give honest, helpful answers based on your goals.

If you’re not quite ready to buy yet, we’ll help you:
Get financially prepared
