Applying to buy our home via right to buy.

How has Patrick Reeve helped you?

Patrick was very professional throughout and due to my complex credit history, Patrick still went above and beyond in trying to help us secure a mortgage. Unfortunately we couldn't get a mortgage due to my background along with starting a new job it was a tall order for Patrick to undertake. With that said, Patrick still did all the investigation work, for example speaking to high street lenders and the sub prime market to test the water on our acceptance, although we got declined. Patrick came back on what we need todo for the future in order for us to proceed next time around. If you need a mortgage advisor I'd highly recommend Patrick, his industry knowledge and market connections are second to none.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

As mentioned above, we couldn't get a mortgage (due to my credit history) but thanks to Patrick we know what we need to do and will be speaking to Patrick in 12 months to review our situation again.

What could they have done better?

I found Patrick very "old school" as in your speaking to a person who shares your dream of home ownership, not a computer, not like other mortgage brokers who only want commission. Patrick understands the mortgage world and puts all the complex terminology into context. We look forward to working with Patrick again in the future. No improvements required in any aspect

Thank you so much Matt, I'm sorry that we weren't able to get the mortgage this time, but we will next time!

We were both very happy with the advice and guidance given. However, if there is an area to look at, it might be the follow up extension to the plan, if that is applicable. In other words if there is room to expand the equity release, it might be helpful to point out how to proceed. However, I am picking hairs here.

Patrick has seen us through from beginning to end of our selling and buying another property, We have found him excellent to deal with and he has a knack of explaining the most complicated details regarding mortgages and insurance in a very simple way without all the legal terminology that baffles us all. We started the selling process not knowing anything as it was our first time selling but have grown in confidence throughout the process as Patrick is always there to answer any questions we may have had and he is excellent at answering emails, texts usually within a couple of minutes. Patrick offers good advice based on his expertise without being pushy. He gives you all the options and answers questions and allows you time to decide. We would recommend his services and have done so to family and friends.

Cannot think of anything he could improve on. Excellent in every way.
