Fabulous service from day one!
I have to say the team from 1st Financial Foundations were quite thorough and professional with their work. They collected all the relevant paperwork in a timely manner, kept us updated on the status of the application for the mortgage, and even helped us escalate the case when it was necessary. Overall - I would highly recommend the team from 1st FF.

Excellent Mortgage Advice & Service
I approached 1st Financial Foundations via a recommendation, whilst searching for a mortgage advisor for a residential mortgage as well as a BTL mortgage. Bhaven Ondhia and Nikhita Ravaliya were the team who were responsible for finding me the best mortgages. They were efficient, professional and responsive through the entire process from start to finish. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for financial advice or mortgages to use them.

FFF to the rescue!
Once again 1st Financial Foundation have come to the rescue. After noticing I had gone past my two year fixed period on my mortgage I panicked...how am I going to remortgage my property during COVID-19 I thought... I gave FFF a call and spoke to Bhaven Ondhia who very quickly put my mind at ease. He requested some key information from me to get a remortgage processed. Within a couple of days I was notified of my new mortgage rate - thanks to all at FFF and especially Bhaven for sorting this out swiftly - Cheers!

A big thank you to 1st Financial Foundation who made this first ever mortgage experience so smooth.
Always available for questions or clarifications, they work with you with great transparency and really support you in every step of the process, giving you advice but not influencing your choice or decisions.
I would definitely recommend them if you need a mortgage and want piece of mind!

Incredible team - diligent, accurate and speedy.
1st Financial team have helped me with various projects including organising a mortgage for a second home, financial security with various insurance including life and critical illness. They have also helped convert an existing mortgage to a BTL for my investment property. This was all done with incredible diligence and speed. E.g. mortgage discussion, application and offer within 3 weeks end to end.
The proactive nature of the team has been second to none and I would wholly recommend the team to anyone wishing to organise their financial commitments and during the purchase of properties.
