Highly recommend Amanda Birtwistle and team!
Amanda, Cassie and the team did such a fantastic job helping us through the process of getting our first mortgage.
Amanda took such time and care running us through everything we needed to know and never made it feel rushed or confusing.
Using their portal system was very straightforward and they were always available on email or by phone when we needed them to be.
I would highly recommend working with Amanda and the team as your mortgage advisor.
Thanks Mandy!

A fantastic team of dedicated advisors that work together extremely professional.
I would very much like to say that my experience with my mortgage advisor Nathaniel and Lucy Simpson have been extremely good.
Nathaniel is extremely thorough with excellent character and the best manner that you could expect he dealt with everything that needed to be done very clear and explaining also very professional.
Lucy who I have dealt with more often has been outstanding in every way she has been forthright with asking me how things are going.
She has the loveliest manner and personality and she is very responsive to anything that’s happening and following things up and problem-solving.
I will not be hesitating in the near future if I have to deal with anyone as these two people will be getting 100% my business.
I’m thanking them for making my experience easier and looking after problems as they arises,’making me feel personally looked after I didn’t feel like I was just a Number.
It’s been extremely stressful and I’m very glad that I had them as my team. Regards, Gareth Mason.

Sunjay was fantastic throughout the entire mortgage process. He was always available to offer support, guidance, and expert advice whenever I needed it.
He has successfully arranged three mortgages for me, and each time I’ve been impressed by his professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he always kept me updated every step of the way.
I’ve used other mortgage advisors in the past who initially seemed professional, but their level of service dropped significantly once they had secured their fee. Sunjay is completely different—his commitment to his clients remains outstanding from start to finish.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sunjay to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and dedicated mortgage advisor.

Sunjay Chauhan and Dominic Challinor…
Sunjay Chauhan and Dominic Challinor were brilliant as usual getting various properties over the line through various twists and turns. They both accommodated my technophobia with f2f contact and coffee. They coped with my crankiness and rising stress levels following bereavement and were never cranky back, quite the opposite, always very professional and efficient. Great team.

Sophie & Katie
My broker was Sophie Poole, with later additional support from Katie Sleightholme.
I cannot express my gratitude enough for the outstanding service and devoted support they provided throughout the process. I am currently going through a separation, and as a newly single mum, my financial situation was far from straightforward. They — particularly Sophie — worked incredibly hard to support me in securing my mortgage and, consequently, a home for me and my little girl.
There were numerous hurdles to overcome, all of which they helped me navigate with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. Communication was excellent throughout; I was kept updated as much as possible, which really helped to ease my anxiety during such a stressful time.
I truly felt that Sophie and Katie cared about me personally, and that nothing was ever too much trouble. They were kind, friendly, and always happy to answer any questions or queries I had. They are absolutely amazing and worth their weight in gold.
I honestly could not have done this without them, and “thank you” simply does not feel enough.
THANK YOU!!! Would 100 percent recommend!
