How has Louise Selvage helped you?
We had a mortgage coming up ready to start the new rate and with only 3 weeks to go she found the rate was lower and cancelled the order rate to get the lower one, she also advised us that we could get it cheaper else where slightly but we would need to do it 12 weeks in advance and this was not possible due to mortgage starting in 3 weeks, She has also helped us with creating a Will. What with our family getting bigger we have to know where the future is going for us and any life changing events happen we are covered.

We first used Louise in 2015 when we moved out of our parents homes and bought our first property. We have now used Louise 3 times and she has been brilliant each time.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, as always, Louise was able to find money we didn't know was available to us and we have been able to buy for much more than we thought meaning we have a much nicer house as a result.
How has Louise Selvage helped you?
Louise has helped us move house three times and each time has got us a mortgage for much more than we expected allowing us to buy a nicer property than we thought we would be able to. Louise has also helped us get life and critical illness cover and her advice and support is invaluable.

Being a first time buyer, I was really out of my depth in terms of the mortgage process and navigating buying property, but Louise put me at ease. She was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and friendly and talked me through each step carefully, which I really appreciated. She has gone above and beyond for myself and my partner and has secured us an outstanding mortgage in principle that we couldn't be happier with; she found us an excellent rate that worked for us as a couple and was very prompt in responding to our questions and queries, whenever they arose. I will definitely recommend her services to anyone.

I run a HR practice in Essex. Running your own business means you rely on your annual Accounts to get a mortgage and can complicate matters when making the application. I've been working with Louise in recent weeks and can not recommend her enough. She is intelligent and highly knowledgeable about all the different products on the market. I have been a difficult and demanding client, looking at buy-to-let mortgages/ serviced accommodation /HMO and residential second home purchases. Louise's patience and tenacity to get me the best deals have been second to none. I am really pleased with what she has managed to source from her extensive broker network to get me in terms of mortgage solutions. Thanks Louise for all your hardwork.
