Thank you Claire
Claire has been incredible with us from start to finish. A lifeline, and I am super grateful and appreciative for her services. I was really struggling to find an offer that could meet all my requirements. I had been with an L&C mortgage broker for months, and he really struggled to find me an offer, plus I was under time constraints and then he stopped responding. Then I found Claire. She stayed in contact the whole time, was always responsive, and found a mortgage offer that perfectly suited my needs. Claire really put my mind at ease and made the whole process feel manageable she’s exactly the person you want to hear at the end of the phone in a tricky situation. She is very supportive, understands the stress of it all, and ensured everything went smoothly, even helping with buildings insurance. I highly recommend Claire at First Select Mortgages she will find you a great offer despite the circumstances and makes sure everything is completed.
I cannot thank Claire enough for everything she's done for us. After being turned down by three other mortgage brokers who told me it was impossible to get a mortgage on non-traditional construction property, I was ready to give up on my dream of homeownership.
Then I found Claire.
What Makes Claire Exceptional:
From our very first conversation, Claire never made me feel judged about my past credit challenges, Claire took the time to truly understand my situation - my 15 years as a reliable council tenant, my career with the NHS, and my determination to buy the house.
Genuinely Caring and Authentic:
Claire isn't just a broker doing a job - she genuinely cares about her clients. You can feel the authenticity in every interaction. When I was anxious about the process, she took the time to reassure me. When I had questions (and I had many!), she answered with patience and kindness. She celebrated my wins with me and supported me through the challenges. Her warmth and genuine investment made all the difference during what could have been an overwhelming process.
Complete Transparency:
What I appreciated most about Claire was her absolute honesty from day one. She never sugar-coated things or made false promises. She was upfront about:
• The challenges we'd face with my credit history
• The complications with the non-traditional construction property
• The realistic interest rates
• All the fees involved
• The realistic timelines and what could go wrong
She went above and beyond, and the result
Thanks to Claire's expertise, persistence, genuine care, and kindness, I received a mortgage offer. What three other brokers said was impossible, Claire made happen.
Claire didn't just help me get a mortgage - she helped me secure my family's future. She gave me hope when I had none, and she turned that hope into reality.
For Anyone in a Similar Situation:
If you have credit challenges, are buying a non-traditional construction property, or have been turned down by other brokers, go to Claire. She's professional, knowledgeable, responsive, completely transparent, authentically genuine, and truly cares about her clients succeeding.
Claire, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything.

Claire helped us when we needed to remortgage. She made the whole process really smooth. She was very responsive to any questions and was professional and friendly. She gave us some options to consider and helped us secure a good deal. Would highly recommend First Select Mortgage Brokers.
Claire was absolutely fantastic. I felt I had a friend at the end of the line getting my mortgage through. She genuinely cares and works all hours bless her to get things done. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Claire has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. She truly went above and beyond to make the whole mortgage process as smooth and stress-free as possible. No question was ever too much trouble, and she explained everything clearly so we always knew exactly where things stood,even when things got complicated. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated, professional, and genuinely caring.Thanks to Claire’s hard work and support, we felt completely confident every step of the way. We honestly couldn’t recommend her enough – if you’re looking for a mortgage broker who truly puts their clients first, Claire is the one to go to!
Claire helped us with our mortgage when we were having an extension. She was reliable, supportive, approachable and so knowledgeable. We simply could not have done it without her! Whenever there was in issue she was onto it straight away liaising with all the other agencies involved. She explained everything clearly to us and kept great communication all along the way. She reassured us when there uncertainties and remained clear and confidential. At a later point Claire also sorted out our life insurance. Again she was able to explain everything clearly and gave us the best advice. I would highly recommend and will always go back to Claire for all future financial advice. Thank you for everything!
I was recommended First Select by a colleague and definitely made the right choice. Claire was excellent to deal with. As a first time buyer with very little understand of the process, Claire walked me through all of the jargon at each stage and humanised the whole buying journey, reassured me throughout and really made me feel secure throughout all.
It’s daunting, whatever age you are looking to buy for the first time, but I’m glad I went with First Select and not directly with one of the high street banks as there’s no way they would have put up with my 100s of questions, or acted as quickly on my behalf.
Would highly recommend.
I used First Select to arrange the mortgage to buy my flat. They were brilliant, explained everything and got me the best deal. Highly recommended! 5* Service and communication!
