Fantastic service🙌 Rob at The Mortgage Shop has helped us secure a mortgage; I am very confident that he sourced the best possible offer, and he was extremely knowledgable about the markets. He made the process simple, communication was great (always answered or responded to messages promptly) - really happy - thank you😊Posted on Google jason Wright2026-06-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish Rob was amazing for us. In the specific aspect of his role (advising on mortgages) he provided us with all the information we needed in a simple manner for such a complicated issue providing us all options available, but never pushed us to go one way or another on our decision making. He also went above and beyond his role as a mortgage advisor, by being there to answer questions on the entire house buying process in a very approachable and friendly manner, which as first time buyers was just as important to us as getting the mortgage sorted. Thank you for everything Rob!!Posted on Google Raj Kaur2026-05-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We can’t recommend Rob highly enough!
