Graeme & Coleen

“Myself and Colleen live in Glasgow, I work as a project planner in the shipbuilding company BAE systems and Colleen’s a legal secretary so we’re both pretty busy people.”

“We sold our house and moved into rented accommodation because the house sold so quickly. Eventually, we decided to buy a house off-plan, so all we had to do was wait for it to be built and sort the mortgage and legal aspects. Having organised my previous mortgage, I knew how much work was involved in calling, emailing, chasing solicitors and estate agents. So, we asked our builders for a mortgage adviser they would recommend and were introduced to Paul.”

I had no idea about all the different options that were available

The first time I had organised my mortgage I just went to my bank and picked from what they had to offer. I had no idea about all the different available options. In comparison, Paul found deals from several different lenders. He talked us both through the process step by step so we understood what our deposit would be, what we could afford and how long we wanted a mortgage for. Once we decided which option suited us best he then went through the additional things we needed such as life and house insurance.”

There was no rush, no pressure, he made us aware it was completely up to us

“All we had to do was attend a couple of meetings and Paul did all the rest. He took all the stress out for us. I know first hand how much work there is going back and forth from organising my own mortgage. He talked to the solicitors, the company building our new home and chased the bank. Most importantly he kept us up to date with calls, emails and texts.”

“He couldn’t have been more helpful and pleasant which is why I went back to him to sort out the remortgage and had the same experience. Perfect!”
