Jack Easton was brilliant!
Jack was brilliant and was really helpful and great at communicating the best possible offer. He is knowledgable and kept us updated, explained everything clearly and always made time for questions. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to secure a good mortgage for our first house. I will be happy to refer him to anyone who is looking for a reliable mortgage broker.
Chelsie Selwood - First Time Buyers
Chelsie made the process simple from start to finish. As first time buyers, everything was brand new to us. Chelsie explained all the initial processes to us in great detail so we knew where to start with our search and got us fantastic rates on our mortgage considering the financial climate at the time. When searching for homes, she gave us guidance and pointers on what to look out for, which properties we’d selected were more attractive, and made sure we understood what questions to ask on viewings. Once we’d selected the property, she liaised with the estate agents to start the process, ensured our lender agreement was in place, and put us in touch with a fantastic solicitor who has made everything so easy. Any questions we had between selecting the property and exchanging, she would always make time for us and answer all questions in detail, if things needed more than a text, she would always arrange a call around our schedules to ensure we were informed and not put out. She also helped us instruct a life insurance policy that was difficult for us to work out ourselves due to complicated needs. Every time she presented offers to us through her recommendations, she always made sure to provide multiple pricing options so we never felt pressured at any point to make financial decisions.
Chelsie is a credit to HQ, and if we or a friend are ever looking to purchase a property again in the future, we won’t hesitate to contact/recommend her.
Thanks for all your help Chelsie!
Amazing support from Mark!
Mark was brilliant! He took the time to fully understand us, and our needs and found us a great mortgage product. We are first time buyers and he definitely helped take the stress away and reassured us throughout the whole process (even with every silly question we had)
Marks communication was always prompt, and his advice was amazing. The whole process felt smooth from start to finish and we always felt in good hands! We cannot recommend Mark enough - exceptional service!
Great experience for first time buyers
When buying our first home, the experience was initially overwhelming, so we sought out the help of Ben Cornish. Immediately he was able to ease our worries and patiently explained everything we needed to know about the mortgage process. He helped us organise all of our documents, what was needed, what wasn't, and answered every question we gave him. We felt confident and informed about our mortgage choices. Despite our situation being tricky, as I was a PhD student on a research stipend, our mortgage was approved quickly and Ben laid out exactly what would happen next. Can't recommend him enough!
Fantastic customer service
Buying your first home can seem very overwhelming, but luckily for us we had Sarah in our corner who was patient and didn't mind explaining and answering any question or query I may have come up with. She secured us a really good rate when the market was unstable and has kept in regular contact to make sure we aren't having any issues. Would highly, highly recommend.
As a first time buyer
As a first time buyer, Jamie Griffiths really helped me through the mortgage process for the first time. I didn’t have any knowledge on the subject, Jamie took his time to explain the process and important information thoroughly, provided his honest professional opinion that was always in the best of my interests. Quick communication and regular updates throughout. I would definitely recommend and will do in the future, if the opportunity comes up. Thanks Jamie :)
I can't recommend Chantal Shepherd …
I can't recommend Chantal Shepherd highly enough. She has helped me with my mortgage on two separate occasions, both involving some fairly tricky financial circumstances and each time has been amazing.
Chantal took the time to understand my situation explained everything clearly and worked hard to find the best solution for me. She made what could have been a very stressful situation feel straight forward and manageable always keeping me informed and promptly answering any questions I had. I can't thank her enough.
I can’t thank James Smith enough for…
I can’t thank James Smith enough for his help with my mortgage. As a first time buyer recently turned self employed I thought I’d be waiting a few more years before I could get a mortgage but James talked me through my options and I was more than happy with the result! After putting an offer in my official mortgage offer came quickly and James continued to support with follow up calls to explain terms and answer any additional questions. I have been recommended James at hqmf by so many friends and family and can see why!
We had a brilliant experience with HQ
We had a brilliant experience with HQ. We were first time buyers and were very unfamiliar with the process.
Rob was easy to get hold of and worked promptly to get us the best mortgage rate. The whole process was quick and easy to understand.
He then put us in contact with Damien who was equally helpful and quick to respond to our queries.
We would really recommend HQ.

Lauren Day has been nothing short of amazing for us. Has been incredibly helpful with everything we needed. We have used Lauren for our remortgage in the past and now with selling/moving house. Lauren has taken so much stress out of the process and she's always there to answer any questions. 100% recommend and would never use anyone else. The best out there.
