Highly recommend Lauren Day

I reached out to Lauren to remortgage and purchase my property after she was highly recommended by a number of people and I am so glad I did. Her wealth of knowledge and fast pace made the process a lot easier than ever before. No stone was left unturned to get me the best rate and monthly saving. She was always on the end of the phone or email if you need any help and regularly checked in to make sure everything was moving forward. Along with a great mortgage rate she also sourced a solicitor to suit my case who were also very efficient. If you’re looking for mortgage advise give her a call, her friendly and professional approach really helps make the journey a lot less stressful. Thank you very much Lauren, will be back in the future.

Amazing service!

I was referred to Brian Coles by a friend, and I’m so glad that we used Brian for our first house purchase! He was super generous with his time, responsive and very knowledgeable about the whole process and any questions we had. He was able to assist with making the right decisions and was always willing to help. Thanks so much Brian!

First time buyer review

As a first time buyer Jack was amazing, he was patient with me and all my questions, gave expert advice and helped me secure my mortgage. Went out of his way to help so would definitely recommend choosing to go with him.

Great service from a great adviser!

Was recommended Jack Easton by 2 people at work and he has been great from start to current and I’m sure he will be until the end and beyond. He’s made a buying journey for 2 first time buyers so easy to understand. He’s communicative, honest and upfront with his clients best interest at the forefront. Highly recommend!

I am very happy with Ben Cornish

I am very happy with Ben Cornish, he helped us get a mortgage. we found it very difficult to find our way through this process, but I was very happy to find some one who could guide us through this process and I think that Ben is an asset to your firm.

5* service again with Ben Cornish…

We have worked with Ben Cornish consistently over the last 4 years and if I’m honest we wouldn’t use an alternative broker now. He is very accommodating to our needs. Clearly explains everything in details and takes the time to show us a range of options and products available to us at the time. This time he came to see us in person which was a great opportunity . I would highly recommend Ben for all mortgage broker needs

Excellent Service

Kallum at HQMF has assisted me with setting up a second mortgage as well as remortgaging my first mortgage, for the first time. The knowledge and service provided has been excellent throughout with Kallum ensuring that he puts the clients interests and experience at the forefront of the process at all times. I will be remortgaging in H2 this year again, and I know exactly who I will be calling to assist me in the process.

Lauren Day - asset to the team x

We are in the process of selling & buying a bigger home & Lauren day just makes the whole process so much easier & reassuring. She is super informative & helpful, & explains everything fully, always on hand to answer any questions and to support with any decisions we make. I know i can reach out to Lauren whenever I need to and she always responds quickly, which when buying a home, its nice to know someone is always at the end of the phone to run things through if needed! I have family members who have used Lauren in the past when buying homes and have all had really positive experiences start to finish! We would recommend lauren to anyone!

5⭐️ Service - wouldn't go anywhere else!

My husband and I have been using Rob Plaistow as our mortgage advisor for over 8 years, and we honestly couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He is absolutely fantastic and consistently goes above and beyond, no matter the day or time, making the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Rob is incredibly knowledgeable, reliable, and supportive, and nothing ever feels like too much trouble. We have complete confidence in him and wouldn’t go anywhere else — highly recommend!

Megan Litten-Lloyd at HQ Mortgage &…

Megan Litten-Lloyd at HQ Mortgage & Finance provided an exceptional level of service throughout my mortgage application process. From the initial consultation through to the successful acceptance of my application, Megan demonstrated a high standard of professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. She took the time to thoroughly explain each stage of the process, ensuring I fully understood my options and felt confident in every decision made.

Megan was consistently responsive, well-organised, and proactive, keeping me informed with clear and timely updates and addressing any questions or concerns promptly. Her knowledge of the mortgage market and ability to navigate the application process efficiently made what can often be a complex and stressful experience feel well managed and straightforward.

Thanks to Megan’s dedication, diligence, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome, my application was accepted smoothly and without issue. I am extremely grateful for her support and would not hesitate to recommend Megan Litten-Lloyd and HQ Mortgage & Finance to anyone seeking a dependable, knowledgeable, and highly professional mortgage advisor.

Easy to use, very helpful and accommodating

Having Rob from the get go has been brilliant, really helpful and goes above and beyond to find you the best Mortage possible! He’s replied on weekends and evenings and has been able to answer any questions we’ve had. Would 100% recommend him to anyone especially first time buyers, like us, as he is able to make each step understandable and as stress free as possible. I look forward to working with him again when it’s time to remortgage! We’ve had a great experience all round!!
