What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I needed a re-mortgage on a buy to let property and had been turned down by providers I'd approached directly due to some unusual factors relating to it. This coincided with the squeeze on lending and withdrawal of a number of these type of products from the market
How has Simon Leak helped you?
Simon was able to source a mortgage product for me and worked against the clock to secure it before the deadline for it to be withdrawn - in the end all done with a few minutes to spare! Great service, levels of commitment and communication.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
I did have to lower my expectations as to the amount I had originally hoped to borrow but this was a factor of the tightening market and nothing more. The rate was locked for 5 years at what has turned out to be a very competitive rate given the subsequent base rate rises which is great
What could they have done better?
I don't think so, except I'm certain Simon would have got me a better deal if I'd engaged him earlier rather than trying myself!

How has Simon Leak helped you?
Mr. Leak has always helped me with everything from start to finish, especially when I wanted to apply for a mortgage. He is very good at what he does and makes you feel at ease all of the time by explaining everything very thoroughly and making sure that you understand all that he is doing for you. He is a very nice person to deal with, every time I have used him he has always been able to get me what I have asked for, advising me if I am doing the right or wrong thing.
What could they have done better?
There is nothing he could do better for his clients in everything that they ask for. I would definately recommend him to anyone for Financial Advise because he is so good at explaining everything in connection with what you require.

How has Simon Leak helped you?
Simon Leak from start to finish was superb, from the very moment I spoke with him I felt comfortable and was at ease regarding the most important move of my life. Everything was discussed in length and set out so I could fully understand what options were available to me, no pressure whatsoever which gave me time to consider the best payment options were best to suit my needs. Mostly are main method of communication was via email due to my work commitments and answers and advice came very quicky from simon and Carole. The survey was booked within days which was excellent as I have from friends and family that this usually takes weeks, however booked in days! From start to finish was exceptional and I couldn't fault a single thing, would recommend and already have!
What could they have done better?
Honestly I could fault the service I was given, everything was explained thoroughly and what Simon and carole from executive mortgages said would happen did and I couldn't criticise a thing.

How has Simon Leak helped you?
Simon worked really hard to get us a mortgage that would work for us. He managed to find a product that would take into account our complicated financial circumstances - with splits between employed and self employed income as well as reflecting our rental income, enabling us to get a mortgage which reflected our affordability appropriately. The whole team then ensured we were able to provide all the required paperwork to get our offer in very good time to ensure that we could complete in a very short timescale. It was an incredibly stressful time, but knowing we could trust Executive Mortgages to get us the right product and then push through the process made things so much easier for us.
