Shiva V Bastianacci has more than 20 years’ experience in financial services and provides mortgage and protection advice through SVB Mortgages, a trading style of ADNFC Financial Consultants Limited.

Shiva began her career as a trainer with Abbey National Home Insurance, where she developed strong technical knowledge and the ability to explain complex information clearly and accessibly.

She later gained valuable conveyancing experience with Hammonds Direct and worked as a trainer at DLA, training staff on property sale and purchase procedures. Her professional background also includes experience within an estate agency environment.

Shiva then spent 13 years working for an Independent Financial Adviser as a Practice Manager. During this time, she developed a particular interest in the mortgage side of financial advice, which ultimately led her to specialise in mortgage and protection advice.

This combination of mortgage, protection, conveyancing, training, estate agency and financial services experience gives Shiva a broad understanding of the property-buying process. It enables her to provide clear, tailored advice and dedicated support throughout every stage of her clients’ journeys.
