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

We wanted to remortgage and seeing as Paul had done such a good job for us before, we came back to the team again.

How has Paul Waterfall helped you?

We initially used this company for our mortgage, and they were absolutely fantastic. Paul worked tirelessly to help us, get us the best price and explained everything to us in a way we could understand. We have just finished using them again for our remortgage, and once again we were incredibly impressed with Paul & team and the effort they put in to get us a good and fair deal. If you need a good company, who are looking out for you, then this is the company for you. Thank you so much for your hard work.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes. We got a very good deal and are happy with the outcome.

What could they have done better?

Nothing. We got all the information we needed to make an informed decision, all our questions were answered in ways that we could understand. They were fantastic!

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

We’d worked with Paul and WR Ethical before remortgaging our previous home. When we chose to move homes as part of our relocation there was no doubt we’d work with Paul again.

How has Paul Waterfall helped you?

Paul offered impartial mortgage advice. He looked at everything from putting across our current mortgage to finding new. He also helped us navigate a tricky window between moves that required a transfer to a variable rate mortgage until we were able to fix our address post relocation. He did all the legwork giving us complete piece of mind.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes and more. We’ve moved stress free and have a highly competitive mortgage at a lower rate and monthly payment than prior to our move.

What could they have done better?

Nothing, Paul service was faultless and even offered emergency advice via text or mobile when we had a few issues to address during our relocation. A great level of support.

Paul's reply

Thanks so much James, hope you are all starting to feel settled, and love the next chapter of your life!

I had an excellent experience with WR Ethical and cannot recommend them highly enough. As a first time buyer, applying for a mortgage is a daunting process, but it genuinely felt very easy with the support of Paul and the team. Paul has a gift for explaining how mortgages work in a digestible way and for coming up with creative solutions to any issues which need to be solved. I really appreciated receiving the ethical credentials of different mortgage providers and tips about their customer service approach alongside the cost.

How has Paul Waterfall helped you?

As a first time buyer, I cannot recommend WR Ethical enough. The support I have recieved from Paul and the team throughout this journey has been so valuable. They made the whole process so easy (and that's a word I never thought I'd use when talking about mortgages!). It's also great to know that WR Ethical donate a portion of their fees to charity. I was able to choose from a selection of charities the one I wanted my donation to go towards (I chose InHope, a great charity supporting homelessness in Bristol). If you are a first time buyer looking for support with your mortgage options I whole-heartedly recommend this team. You won't regret it!

After being recommended by a friend, I spoke with Paul about wanting to look at the idea of purchasing my first property - which I had initially thought wasn't possible for someone like myself. By the end of the conversation, he had completely changed my outlook on getting a mortgage and explained the different ways of going about it. He made me feel really comfortable to ask any questions and explained everything in a way that was perfect for a first-time buyer like myself to digest. Down to earth, friendly and professional.

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

We had a wonderful experience working with Paul this year in finding a mortgage for our new home. The housing market is so challenging at the moment and we would have been completely lost without Paul's sound advice.

How has Paul Waterfall helped you?

Paul reserved us an excellent rate when the interest rates were rising daily and also dealt with a very panicked, last minute mortgage amendment for us. In addition to the solid financial advice, we reassured to see a review of the ethics of the financial investments of our chosen mortgage lender.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, Paul reserved us an excellent mortage rate during a difficult time in the markets.

What could they have done better?

Nothing, he was excellent throughout and very prompt with communication and advice.

How has Paul Waterfall helped you?

As a first-time buyer without much guidance from "real adults," Paul guided me through the entire process from start to finish over a period of four months. He quickly understood my personal situation and background, which enabled him to provide me with the most relevant information in a concise and time-efficient manner. Whenever I had doubts, he patiently explained each option and the reputation of each lender. All of this made the decision-making process easy and safe for me. As I am about to close on my first property tomorrow, Paul's professionalism, empathy and understanding of the market were evident throughout. I will definitely recommend WR Ethical to all of my friends and look forward to remortgaging or moving on to new properties with their help in the future. It's not such a daunting process after all!

He always makes you feel like he is working for your best interest.

Paul and his team was amazing from start to finish with remortgaging my flat and getting a New mortgage for the new home that we purchased. After I had some bad experience with a different company 5 years ago when I purchased my flat, I was very careful on deciding who I would choose this time. After I did a few searches and spoke to a few different brokers and I wasn't convinced, I came a cross Wr Ethical through a relative, and I am very glad that they recommend Wr Ethical to me. Paul was very professional friendly and always responding to your emails or calls or any questions that you have, even when I had to ask him the same question three times Overall very happy with the service that I was provided by Wr Paul and his team Would definitely recommend Wr Ethical to anyone Thank you Paul for all your help and advice and being supportive throughout the process.

It was great working with Paul at WR Ethical. Previously I dealt with mortgages myself however with the market how it is I needed help. I contacted Paul for some advice to begin with, which he was happy to help with and from that he gave me confidence in his ability. Once the mortgage was selected and accepted Paul stayed in contact until the application was completed when we moved. No question on who I am turning to when the mortgage renewal comes back around again. Really helpful and informative, I have no problem recommending WR Ethical.

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

Remortgage

How has Paul Waterfall helped you?

Paul is not the standard high-street broker, sifting through deals and matching to customers. He will listen and carefully find the right deal for you, using precision and skill, enjoying relationship building between client and customer. Not sure how Paul managed to succeed in getting us through the Trussonomic economic shock, and mayhem - with deals being pulled, DiPs being pulled, BoE warnings... but he got there after we had anticipated our plans inevitably falling apart. I did my due diligence before settling on Paul, with another reputable broker who said there's no way the figures stack up. That same broker was going to charge us about £1k just for a DiP and Application. Thank you Paul for securing our home. Not sure how you did it :-)

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes

Thanks so much! A real pleasure being able to help, and get you to where you needed to.

My fiancé and I were looking to purchase our first property.

How has Paul Waterfall helped you?

Following advice from other mortgage brokers we were not feeling optimistic. However, Paul and Jess helped us find the right mortgage for us as first time buyers. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and invaluable advice Paul! Also, thanks Jess for making the admin side of things so simple and stress free! We received friendly and patient guidance throughout the process... I cannot recommend WR Ethical highly enough.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

100% ! Paul has helped us obtain the right mortgage for us and done so in an efficient manner.

I have no suggestions, the service was fantastic and the company have a good moral compass.

I sought a financial advisor as I am a first time buyer, inexperienced with the process.

How has Paul Waterfall helped you?

I could not recommend WR Ethical enough for their friendly team and highly experienced advisors. As a first time buyer in difficult market conditions, Paul has gone above and beyond in helping the mortgage application process run smoothly and answer any questions I had as an inexperienced buyer. Excellent communication in keeping me updated in the process and striving to get the best deal. I am so grateful. And as name suggests - ethical advisors with excellent knowledge and tips and reasonably priced. Thank you so much!!!

Exceeded my expectations. Thank you.

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

We were looking for our first house's mortgage. At first, we were not confident that we will get an approved mortgage as we don't have settled status yet in the UK.

How has Paul Waterfall helped you?

Paul helped us provide advice and recommended the best lender given our circumstances. He is also very clear and transparent in explaining the house buying process in the UK and help recommend other related services whenever we need.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes. There were some hiccups from other party (seller side and solicitors) which delayed the home buying process causing our initial mortgage offer to expire. Initially, our mortgage provider declined our request for extension. However, Paul quickly responded to the situation and ensure that we can get mortgage offer extension at the best possible rate.

So glad you have moved into your new place at last, it's been lovely meeting you both.

Thanks a million to Paul who was absolutely brilliant from start to finish helping with my application as a first time buyer. He did all the hard work, searching for the best rates available as well as how ethical each lender was, which played a huge part in the decision process for me.

I will definitely be in touch with him again in the future and will recommend him highly to family and friends.

As a result, Paul managed to give us considerable savings on our mortgage and ultimately helped us to tailor the mortgage package that was right for us.

Paul Takes the ethical side very seriously and was extremely transparent and honest from the start. I would 100% use WR Ethical again.
