We take a pragmatic approach to these claims, and actively encourage exploring means of early resolution of disputes, including mediation.

Samantha Allnutt

My wife and I engaged Sam to raise a mortgage in order to fund a major redevelopment of our property on the basis we wanted to be sure we were going to receive proper Independent Expert Advice at a reasonable cost. Sam was extremely quick and efficient in her dealings with various lenders and was very attentive in keeping us up to date throughout the whole process.

We initially fixed it for a two-year period and she was in touch like clockwork to discuss our options well in advance of the expiry of that fixed-rate period and her service the second time round was as good as it had been the first time.

I have come across a lot of mortgage brokers during my professional life over the last 25 years. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sam’s services, she is one of the best I have met.
