What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
My wife and I were looking for a mortgage to buy our first house.
How has Martin Rayner helped you?
From initial contact, Martin put us at ease, making the often overly-complicated topic of getting a mortgage easy to understand. After our initial video call, we were certain that Martin was the right choice to guide us through the process.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, we secured our mortgage, which happened much quicker than we had anticipated. Excellent friendly communication throughout. We will be recommending Martin to anyone looking to get a mortgage.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
First time buyer, so the unknowns of the mortgage process made me uncertain and I wanted to seek advice.
How has Martin Rayner helped you?
I spoke with a number of mortgage advisors and it was as if they were reading from a generic document they use for everyone. Straight away, Martins advice was different - it was tailored to our situation and he took the time to weigh up all options, present & explain the facts. Martin & the team were on their toes & incredibly quick to respond to all questions, meaning our mortgage approval was granted within weeks. Highly recommend!!
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
100% - smooth process from start to finish.
Martin:
Hi Ryan, Thanks for the review and you are right we never offer generic advice and always ensure it is the right advice for the situation. I wish you both the very best in your new home. MartinReview

Thank you so much for your generous and thoughtful review—it genuinely means a lot. I'm so pleased we were able to secure the right mortgage for you, especially as a first-time buyer and being self-employed, which can often feel more complex. It’s been a real pleasure supporting you through the process and I’m delighted to hear you're soon to be in your new home.Review
