What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I needed to apply for a mortgage for my property purchase and James was recommended to me.
How has James McDermott helped you?
James helped me with the mortgage for my property - from researching the market, arranging the application and liaising on all aspects after the offer was issued. He also assisted with personal insurance.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes.
What could they have done better?
My only recommendation for improvement would be with regards to the third party company that assist with matching up solicitors to act for the lender. I preferred separate lender only representation for my lender, as I already had a good solicitor to deal with the legal aspects of my purchase. However, the third party company stated that lender only representation was not available but I located several firms who were able to accommodate this request and recommended a solicitor myself in the end.
