M&M never let us down. We’ve been using their services for 8 years and this time we’re taken good care of by James.James was an absolute star. Very personable and made the whole process of getting a mortgage for a new property easy. He also managed to switch us onto a fixed rate mortgage for our... other property which the bank had previously refused to do when we tried several times prior.Really can’t speak highly enough of James and the whole Money & Mortgages team. Thank you all.read more

I am now a returning customer of money & mortgages. My initial enquiry was a renewal of my buy to let property. Jon was extremely efficient in gaining a fantastic deal to suit our needs. We received support from the first contact to the completion of the product. We then needed to remortgage our... own home as our current deal was coming to an end. There was only one company I was going to give my return business to after the excellent service we received the first time around. Once again absolutely exceeded our expectations. Prompt contact with a very competitive new deal which not only cleared the existing mortgage but gave us extra funds to clear some other debts and look at some home upgrades. We received constant phone/email support from Megan who consistently chased the legal firm and kept us fully updated throughout. Absolute 5 star service and I would happily recommend to anyone looking for a professional, personal and prompt serviceread more

As a worker in the property industry i used the guys at Money & Mortgages for everything in my purchasing process. If you are lucky enough to fall in the hands of Steve Seward and Megan Keerick then you literally have nothing to worry about. From the very first phone call and introduction both of... them have been brilliant in keeping me up to date and been reassuring throughout the whole process (I definitely didn't have the easiest purchasing process!). The price of the broker fees are some what undervalued for the amount of work these guys put in and they are a huge credit to their team and the company they work for. Thanks for everything i will not be using any other broker for any of my purchases!!read more

Money and Mortgages have been fantastic every step of the way with my mortgage application.
