What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
As a single woman purchasing my first house independently, I recognised the importance of seeking professional advice to navigate the mortgage process effectively. Being new to this journey and wanting to ensure that I made informed decisions, I sought out the expertise of a mortgage broker to guide me through the complexities of securing a mortgage.
How has Akhil Satsangi helped you?
Akhil Satsangi from PKS Associates Financial Services Limited played a pivotal role in facilitating my home buying journey. He provided invaluable assistance by thoroughly explaining each step of the mortgage process, offering tailored advice that aligned with my financial situation and goals. Akhil's availability and responsiveness were exceptional, as he promptly addressed any queries or concerns I had, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. His expertise and support empowered me to make informed decisions confidently, ultimately leading to the successful purchase of my first home.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, thanks to Akhil's guidance and expertise, I achieved the outcome I was hoping for. I successfully secured my first home independently, and the entire process was made significantly easier and more manageable with Akhil's assistance. His advice and support enabled me to navigate the complexities of the mortgage process with confidence, ultimately leading to a positive outcome.
What could they have done better?
Honestly, there's very little I could suggest in terms of improvement. Akhil provided exceptional service throughout the entire process, exceeding my expectations at every turn. If I were to offer any feedback for improvement, perhaps enhancing the accessibility of certain documentation or resources could further streamline the process for future clients. However, this is a minor suggestion, as Akhil's professionalism, expertise, and dedication already make him an exemplary mortgage broker.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
My partner and I were looking for a mortgage to purchase out first house, and subsequently explore income protection / life insurance options.
How has Akhil Satsangi helped you?
Akhil spent time with us working on our finances to ensure we were in a good position to apply for a mortgage. We were supported to take steps to improve our credit score, apply for and then secure a mortgage. Akhil is professional, honest but so approachable - we didn't know the first thing about applying for a mortgage, or even how to better our financial situation before applying; Akhil walked through every step with us, was always available for questions and ensured we had a clear understanding of the process, from start to finish. As part of the process, Akhil has been supporting us to explore Insurance options, taking our personal situations into account to find the best protection for us.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
We cannot be happier with the service we received. Akhil helped us get the mortgage we needed to buy out first home, but his support didn't stop there - we are beyond grateful for the advice given along the way!
What could they have done better?
We do not believe anything could have been done better than it was. We were delighted with the service provided and we have and will continue to recommend Akhil and his services.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I have four small rental properties and am now classed as a Portfolio Landlord. Re mortgaging was looking complicated. My previous Mortgage Advisor told me that I would struggle to re mortgage because my properties do not bring in a high enough income for many lenders. He didnt want to know! Akhil was recommended to me by two different friends.
How has Akhil Satsangi helped you?
Akhils reassurance and advice enabled me to look at my properties in a way that I had not considered. Instead of thinking I needed to sell, I now have a clear plan for each property over the next 2/3 years when re mortgaging is required. He has found me a new lender with no problems and has kept in touch with me throughout the process.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
My new mortgage completes on 02/08/21. I see no reason why it will not take place
