"Good communication, they worked really well with my mortgage advisor, so direct contact was minimal. Provided all documents in a timely manner, with great explanations as I was a first time buyer."
Customer review, Smart Money People, October 2024.
Our range of mortgages include products specifically designed to help first time buyers, including Shared Ownership mortgages.
Our 5% deposit mortgages are available on Shared Ownership mortgages only, these are not part of the Government’s mortgage guarantee scheme.
All the people I dealt with sorting out my 1st ever mortgage were very helpful especially Lauren who I dealt with the most. Very quick at replying to messages and one of the easiest companies I've dealt with in a while to get through to on the phone. Good mortgage rate too.
