Please provide a brief comment about your experience with Iain

My wife and I were looking for a mortgage broker to help us with getting a mortgage for our new home. Our experience with Iain was superb! Iain explained every step of the process to us and patiently answered all our queries. He was always available and eager to help. He kept a close eye on the ever-changing rates and secured us the best possible deal available at the time. It has been a pleasure working with Iain and we would be delighted to have him as our advisor again in the future. We definitely recommend him.
