Fox Davidson just keep getting better as a Mortgage Broker

We have been customers of Fox Davidson for many years now and every time they have found us a Mortgage deal that best suits our requirements. We have just finished another remortgage and again they have patiently sourced and then assisted us with setting up a new mortgage agreement. The Fox Davidson team are all genuinely friendly, knowledgeable and patient and really know their business. We continue to recommend them to friends and family and anyone looking for a Mortgage Broker you can rely on.

If you need a mortgage broker

If you need a mortgage broker, you need Oliver Fare at Fox Davidson! I can’t recommend him highly enough, he goes beyond the norm and thinks outside the box to help clients find solutions throughout all stages of the process. As my conveyancer said ‘this broker clearly has a lot of influence’! And he’s thoroughly nice too!

First of all Wesley is my all time…

First of all Wesley is my all time favourite person right now! After a failed attempt at remortgage with a Building Society through another broker I came to Fox Davidson, worried that my title deed needed splitting before I could remortgage. Wesley was unflustered and found a bank that was great to deal with. He also stepped in at the end to expedite things when the conveyancers were frankly being useless. And on that note if you are offered free legals on a mortgage, pay the extra. Their contract is with you in that case and you will have less stress, believe me. I have completed the remortgage today and will be in touch with Fox Davidson again soon.

Quick, professional and a time saver!

I have just finished using Fox Davidson for my 3rd mortgage and have always found them to be professional, easy and very swift. They reduced the burden on me massively and were always available for questions on the house buying process. Worth every penny!

Our mortgage just completed!

Our mortgage just completed! The Fox Davidson team were super helpful. Our situation wasn't straightforward but Wesley and Steve were brilliant at getting us a fantastic mortgage deal and progressed it quickly (during Covid too!)
Very happy with the service Fox Davidson provide. I wholeheartedly recommend them and will be using them in the future.

Don't look anywhere else for top advise and personal care…

I have used Fox Davidson for several mortgage as well as financial advise and they can not be more professional. They have always made me feel like I'm the most important client they have. Often doing the solicitors job for them. At times I've been advised to follow a financial plan that is not beneficial to them yet looks after my interest first. They are the first stop whenever I have a new plan. I will not look anywhere else for financial advise. Thank you Sarah and team.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Fox Davidson for dealing with your mortgage needs. I have been a happy customer for several years and have always found them to be exceptionally reliable and trustworthy. They have secured me excellent rates and provided sound advice, all delivered with a friendly and approachable style which I value. Each time I have remortgaged I have been kept informed every step of the way and found the process to be much smoother than with other companies I have used in the past.

Sarah did my mortgage for me

Sarah did my mortgage for me, she made it all very simple and got me a good rate with repayments I can afford. The whole process was made easy for me and it all went through very quickly and effortlessly on my part. Thanks Sarah 🦊

Exceptional service

I needed help with a fairly complex scenario. Fox Davidson went above and beyond to help me get my mortgage, and provided great advice. I received regular updates from a fantastic team. I really couldn't have asked for more.

Definitely recommend to use for your mortgage. Found them on google!! Communication was clear- we never had to chase. Has previously gone with a well known broker and after 7 months of the process was turned down- Fox Davidson were quick and got us a great deal. Thank you so much!

Renewed Mortgage

Fox Davidson helped me renew my mortgage. I found them to be extremely knowledgeable about the market and products on offer. I also found them very quick to respond to any of my questions and queries. By using them saved me money on my monthly payments, would highly recommend.

The only mortgage brokers I will ever use

This is the third time I have used Fox-Davidson, and will continue using them when the need next arises. Fantastic at communication, and always answer the phone and quick to respond/act to queries/requests. They have sourced some incredible options for us and acted on our instructions with complete professionalism. I literally have no reason to consider an alternative. They're ace.

Hi Clare, Thank you for the kind review it really is appreciated.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Bad advice.

Got the mortgage on my flat with Fox Davidson. Said I was looking to switch it to a buy to let in the future so wanted a flexible mortgage.

I was recommended a platform mortgage and told I could switch it to a buy to let by just phoning my mortgage company and asking them if I could switch nearer the time.

Turns out there was a clause that said I could only do this after a year.

The only alternatives I had were to break the mortgage which would be 5,000 pounds worth of fees or to 'port' the mortgage.

This would mean I would have multiple mortgages on the same property, that would end at different times and be tied in to their rates. or move to a standard variable rate, which would mean a significant amount of extra interest.

Fox Davidson said on the phone they wouldn't have recommended platform, and would have suggested one known for being more flexible as the original adviser had left the company.

However their reply to my review says it's standard practise and I'm too stupid to understand the mortgage mess I'm now saddled with.

The real kicker is that they then tried to charge me an additional 490 pounds brokerage fee to get out of this mess.

Hello Adam,

We have checked your file and spoken to you several times to try and help you understand how mortgages work.

As a general rule most mortgages are portable which means you can move the terms to your new home. In the situation a client no longer wishes to live in their main residence but now wishes to let it out, we would advise a client to port the residential mortgage and to take out a buy to let mortgage on their current property. This is all very normal and straight forward.

Whilst we cant comment on your specific case in detail on a review forum, we have checked the advice and documentation issued to you and both Fox Davidson and our regulator are happy with the advice provided.

Unimpressed

I made a phone enquiry and was told a broker would ring me back but no one did. For a do called leader I'm not impressed

Barry, Thanks for the review, good or bad it helps us improve. Like most businesses we have staff furloughed and at the time of your enquiry we were working with reduced staff, as you may imagine this can result in increased wait times between dealing with new enquiries. We aim to return all new enquiries within 24 hours. We have a large amount of calls coming in from clients regards mortgage holidays and other covid-19 associated enquiries in what is a very testing time for the whole country. We all have to be a little more understanding and patient.

A Truly Excellent Experience

Sarah & her fantastic team got me a truly excellent rate on a refinance BTL mortgage on a property we refurbished. They are easy to speak to, keep you informed with progress and I wholeheartedly recommend them to everybody.
