I cannot praise this company enough

I cannot praise this company enough. Sterling service!

I was guided through the mortgage process and my expectations were managed so well.

They were honest with me and very helpful. We own our home now thanks to them.

Which mortgage advisers review: 4 STAR

I always found Which? good for impartial consumer advice so decided to approach them for advice about remortgaging.

The adviser I spoke to was Shabeer Ahmed, he was professional, seemed knowledgable, and was prompt in returning phone calls/emails. He managed to find me a very good remortgage deal, which went through very quickly.

Although there are fees to pay for this service I think it was worth it. Would use them again.

Which mortgage advisers review: 3 STAR

We recognise that our circumstances were unusual and we’re pleased that we got a mortgage, eventually. But: (1) The process was tortuous because, to begin with, the product we were offered was inappropriate. Weeks of our time, and our sellers’ time, were wasted before we insisted on switching to a more suitable product. This was very stressful. (2) The performance of our first Personal Mortgage Co-ordinator was poor. For example, he repeatedly made direct contact with our solicitor without our permission. (3) It wasn’t always easy to have immediate contact with Which? staff, although this improved when our second Mortgage Co-ordinator took over our case.

Was wrongly advised and delayed by…

Was wrongly advised and delayed by inexperienced broker which caused a delay and made me lose money as fix rate switched to variable after 2 months of delays and getting nowhere. Managers took over finally and where very deflective of the loses as if nothing had happened and totally inconsiderate of the fact that I am losing money everyday cause of it. Even after assigning of senior broker process was not as smooth or taking the urgency it needed. They demanded their fees, now even the completion fee by totally ignoring the fact that they caused me a direct loos that is more than their fees, without ever acknowledging the loss caused or offering to waive any of the fees.

Absolutely horrendous experience

Absolutely horrendous experience. We were totally misadvised through poor information gathering at the start. We have paid them £299 to basically spend 4 weeks chasing them. When things didn’t go to plan they went radio silent and the broker was unavailable to discuss difficulties, often leaving us over weekends anxious and concerned. Would have had less stress doing it alone. We have now cut our losses and gone with another broker as the stress of dealing with them was too much and I can’t deal with another couple of months of it, worth losing the £299 to get out of the relationship with them!
