Sale and purchase of residential properties.

How has Allan Robertson helped you?

Allan was absolutely brilliant throughout the whole process. He understood our needs and requirement for a mortgage in principle without delay - he duly turned this around within a day or so. Thereafter he was extremely pro-active (contacting the estate agent with necessary documentation immediately after our offer was accepted, for example). He kept us informed regularly of developments and even sent communications at weekends, such as confirming correspondence from the lender that the funds were in place just prior to completion. This is greatly received when nervously awaiting the completion of a purchase.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes. Every aspect of the house buying process where Allan had involvement went without any hassle whatsoever.

Nothing! We are 100% happy with the service Allan at Equity Select provided.

How has Allan Robertson helped you?

Allan understood our financial position very quickly and clearly helped us understand the full picture and potential scenarios/options of what we could do including releasing equity and moving properties to buy-to-let mortgages. He gave us space to understand and make our own decisions after fully understanding what we could do. Allan was always available and offered us a service that I couldn’t imagine elsewhere from anyone else, this helped put us at ease which as we often hear is unusual when buying properties and working with solicitors and banks. Again, by simplifying our financial position and potential future scenarios it allowed us to understand the process extremely clearly.

Equity release, we were undecided and also some old press reports made us hesitant, so when we made the decision we both decided we would prefer an independent advisor, who would explain to us the positives and the negatives, if there were any, and through lots of investigation, we found Allan Robertson, there was no bad reports and everything was positive. I also knew we had made the right decision, when I rang there office, and the lady who answered was so helpful, and informative, we certainly made the right choice.

How has Allan Robertson helped you?

Allan gives face to face information, answers all the questions, and shows you choices, and finally supplies you with all the documentation, so you can look at in your own time, and you will have more questions, we did, but again e-mail or ring and he always gets back.

How has Allan Robertson helped you?

Allan was instrumental in helping is buy our first house, from working out our finances to see if we were eligible for a mortgage all the way through to us getting the keys and everything in between. He assisted with applying for the Mortgage, putting an offer in on the house, various insurances that needed to be set up, and encouraging regular and concise communications between us, the solicitors and estate agents... and more. Allan's friendly and approachable nature also made him a pleasure to talk to, whilst also being able to get down to business when necessary.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Absolutely, Allan was in constant communication with us throughout the process, any queries or assistance we needed - he either came in person (sometimes that very same day), or gave us a call at his earliest convenience. Whilst there were some bumps in getting to the final outcome (which were caused by external entities), we genuinely don't think that the process would have been as smooth or successful as it was without Allan's involvement.

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

The purchase of a residential property and the sale of a property to a Ltd company as a buy to let.

How has Allan Robertson helped you?

Allan provided help and advice to us to purchase a new residential property, as well as selling our old property to a Ltd company in order to rent it out. Prior to this he had been very responsive in also running the figures and providing advice re purchasing a holiday home. Allan came out to see us and has gone above and beyond every step of the way, from providing really detailed and honest advice, to acting as the go-between with estate agents and solicitors. He put complex information into laymen's terms and was exceptionally supportive with the many forms and processes in this complex transaction! He was always available and pushed the process every step of the way. He even popped round with cake when we moved into our new home. This was a complicated move and we couldn't have done it without him. I would highly recommend Allan with any mortgage/property advice and support.

My partner had a permanent job but I had a 12 month contract and we needed our joint salary amount to obtain the loan we needed.

How has Allan Robertson helped you?

Allan not only found a mortgage provider who would lend to us with our circumstances but also a less low interest rate. The mortgage he found was only available through advisors like Allan - we wouldn't have found such a good deal on our own. I also think Allan was worth his weight in gold for arranging the mortgage on our behalf - making 99% sure we would get the mortgage before officially submitting the application.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Absolutely. We have now completed and the mortgage is live.
