"Great customer service! Excellent rate for first time buyers, look forward to remortgaging in the future."

Our range of mortgages include products specifically designed to help first time buyers, including Shared Ownership mortgages.
Our 5% deposit mortgages are available on Shared Ownership mortgages only, these are not part of the Government’s mortgage guarantee scheme.
All the people I dealt with sorting out my 1st ever mortgage were very helpful especially Lauren who I dealt with the most. Very quick at replying to messages and one of the easiest companies I've dealt with in a while to get through to on the phone. Good mortgage rate too.
