What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

I was looking to buy my first house and needed sound advise.

How has Luke Richards helped you?

Luke went above and beyond. I mortgaged at a time when the interest rate dropped. Not only did he re-do the paperwork to get me a better deal when everything was finalised the first time round, he also got me a better deal than I could find with a hefty cash back. He was quick to respond and clear in his communications - very helpful indeed.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

100%.

What could they have done better?

I can't think of anything

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

Luke was recommended to us when we were looking to check our eligibility for a mortgage for our first home.

How has Luke Richards helped you?

After talking to Luke about our requirements and expected property purchase price he very quickly sent over some mortgage details to us that he found we might be eligible for. Though we had a few obstacles to overcome once our offer had been accepted, Luke was extremely helpful and really went out of his way to help us over come issues, such as a low valuation on the property, to find other mortgage products we could use in the event we couldn't get the purchase price reduced.He was also very understanding to my frequent calls!.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

We fell we've got a good mortgage deal thanks to Luke, and the application process was stress free as we knew it was in good hands!.

What could they have done better?

To be honest I can pick no faults with the service we recieved.

How has Luke Richards helped you?

Luke listened fully to the situation, asked relevant questions, and managed to arrive at a solution my husband and I had not even considered, despite being experienced at making mortgage applications ourselves. It was certainly worth following up the initial on line report that was sent by Luke, because discussing our case over the phone highlighted important points that we had not considered.

What could they have done better?

Not much! it may have been helpful to be encouraged to get more accurate redemption statements from current mortgages, as when the final move happened, the extra money that was needed to settle the previous loan was a real dent into my new floor budget. However, this was our fault in not checking the redemption fully.

Luke provided an excellent service and helped guide us through the tricky process of mortgages, certainly helping make the process far less stressful than it otherwise might've been. He was always happy to help with our questions (and there were lots of them) and we ended up with a very good mortgage thanks to the extra effort that Luke went to in ensuring we had the best product available. All the while he did so in a very friendly and supportive manner.

How has Luke Richards helped you?

He responded promptly to my online enquiry, and was able to narrow down the options without unnecessary detail, and to recommend the best. Communication was excellent by phone, text message and email. The preparation of initial documentation was faultless, and ongoing liaison with relevant parties helpful.

What could they have done better?

The solicitor's time-scale was more extended than first anticipated, and this understandably gave rise to some anxiety on the part of the broker about payment for his services (which would normally be made at completion). His well-intentioned direct calls to the solicitor's office and subsequent updates to myself, even before formal completion, were not strictly necessary, though I do understand that clients may occasionally be less cooperative in discharging their obligations honourably and promptly.

How has Luke Richards helped you?

Luke and Dan are extremely professional, proactive and creative with their approach. I contacted Nexmoney to broker 3 remortgages for me, these shortly became two once they advised me that I could raise the same required amount but save the fees on the third, clearly sacrificing an additional commission to save me money. As a result I have, and shall continue to use them for all my future financial needs. I can't recommend them enough.

I have now used Luke to provide me with two BLT mortgages and he has provided me with an excellent quality of service and value for money. He will go the extra mile for you to ensure that you receive everything you expect. He was constantly in touch providing me with the current state where we were in the process. What I like about Luke is his approachability and regardless of what you ask he will always go and look to provide you with the information you have requested. Luke was suggested to me through a third party and I can certainly say that I will definitely use him again in the future.
