Meet our Mortgage Advisors
David Treharne
Mortgage Advisor
With over 25 years in the mortgage and protection industry, David Treharne brings a depth of knowledge that only experience can earn. He joined Dawsons in November 2008 and has been a trusted advisor to clients ever since.
David is known for cutting through the noise. No mortgage jargon, no smoke and mirrors, just clear, plain-English advice that puts clients first. His focus is simple: making sure people fully understand their options and feel confident in their decisions, so they can sleep at night knowing their mortgage and protection arrangements are right for them.
Calm, considered, and genuinely client-focused, David takes the time to listen and tailor solutions that fit real lives, not just spreadsheets. It’s this approach that has earned him long-standing relationships and repeat recommendations over the years.
Outside of work, David’s passion is rugby, watching, talking about it, and no doubt analysing it like a seasoned pro. He also appreciates the occasional glass of rum, ideally enjoyed after a good match.
If you want honest advice, delivered with experience and integrity, you’re in very safe hands with David. For any advice, please do not hesitate to contact David on 07501 720320 or by email: Davidtr@mab.org.uk
