Fixed rate term was coming to end on mortgage, so wanted to get the best deal for the coming years.
How has Paul Newman helped you?
Paul was absolutely great. He did all the hard work for us and broke everything down in terms I could understand. I also really valued how Paul found us not only the best deal for now, but a deal that would allow us to get a favourable rate in the even longer term. I would absolutely recommend Paul to friends or family looking to remortgage.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes. We're locked in to a favourable rate for another 2 years, and are in a good position to get another good rate when that runs out.
What could they have done better?
Honestly, nothing. Paul did everything he said he would do within the agreed timeframes, and always made himself available (even outside of office hours) to answer any queries I had. He was fantastic.

How has Paul Newman helped you?
Paul found an excellent BTL mortgage deal, arranged for additional solicitors to take care of the transfer of equity element, and provided continuous assistance and guidance throughout the process. There were some complexities involved, and at times where disconnects occurred between the lender, their solicitors, and my solicitors dealing with the TR1, Paul would step in, leveraging his expertise to get the job done.

Paul did an amazing job. We are first time buyers and he sat down with us for about 2 hours initially and explained everything in the most basic way so we were able to really understand the process from start to finish. He made us feel really comfortable asking even the silliest questions ("there are no silly questions" he would say) and so helped us know what to expect. All throughout (which took about 9 months from that initial meeting) Paul was readily available to help liaise with various agencies as well as help put the different stages in context. He found us a brilliant deal that worked around our budget and also linked us with a company that sorted our life insurance.
