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

The fixed term of one of my two mortgages was coming to an end, and I needed advice on a new mortgage deal and on how to reduce my mortgage balance so as to keep payments at a manageable level despite interest rate rises.

How has Thomas Glendinning helped you?

Thomas quickly grasped the outcome I hoped to achieve and worked to make that happen, liaising with my mortgage provider and learning about and implementing a new option for rolling my balance over, saving me a high monthly payment in the transition from the original mortgage deal to the new one.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, I am happy with my new deal and with my resulting monthly payments.

Domestic Mortgage for new property.

How has Thomas Glendinning helped you?

Tom secured a full mortgage for me (90%) with TSB, and the offer was in place and mortgage valuation completed within 2 weeks start to finish. Also, I have an existing property so we had to decided on a particular lender to suit my circumstances but still seek a reasonable rate of interest.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Tom completely came through for me in a really short period which helped me secure the property I wanted. With multiple bidders I needed to move quickly and Tom was instrumental in ensuring my offer was accepted by initially securing a Decision in Principle on a mortgage within 48 hours.

What could they have done better?

First class service. I’ve used Toms company before for a few specialist and domestic mortgages and I always go back to them.
