Couldn't recommend their services enough, Rob who was the person dealing with us always made himself available whenever we had any issues, Due to our chain falling down we had to go back to see him a few months later for which he was more than happy and always got any issues we had addressed immediately. 10/10 Would highly recommend, Thank you W muntoni2025-03-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “My partner and I approached The Mortgage Shop some time before we were in a position to apply for a mortgage but had the pleasure of speaking to Rob who provided some invaluable advice on how to approach searching for and buying our first home. Some weeks later, we were ready so paid a visit to him at his office. From the get go, the service we’ve received has been exceptional. At every step, Rob explained very well what was happening and what the next steps would be, but was also answered any questions we had when they arose, putting our minds at ease with anything we were unsure about. Whenever there was a status change to our application, Rob updated us promptly and again explained what to expect next along the journey. Rob is a credit to their business and we can’t thank him and The Mortgage Shop enough. We will easily be recommending them to anyone looking at applying for a mortgage.” N Bahri2025-02-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
