What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Tim was referred to us by a friend when we decided to stay looking at buying a house
How has Tim Steer helped you?
Tim was a huge help to us in buying our first house. Tim helped us to find the right lender and gave great advice and support throughout the application process. When we found a house, progress was very slow and because of this, our initial mortgage offer expired. Tim supported us with extending the offer with our lender, but unfortunately the property fell through. We quickly put an offer in for another property and again, Tim was there to sipport us by updating our mortgage application for the new house. It was a very long process but it was great to have the advice and sorry from Tim, always friendly and professional!

We were struggling to get a mortgage with our previous broker because of covid related lending criteria tightening and the nature of my partner's employment contract.

I was looking to buy my first home
How has Tim Steer helped you?
Tim has been exceptionally helpful throughout the whole process of buying my house. As a first time buyer, buying a property on my own, I had very little idea of what I was doing, and Tim was a great help in explaining everything that needed to be done - I felt that no question was too stupid to ask! Being self-employed for only a short period of time, having recently changed my surname by deed poll and buying a house in the middle of the pandemic meant getting a mortgage was not straightforward. Tim was really reassuring about these problems and worked really hard on my behalf to get the mortgage approved with the bank. I received prompt replies to all my emails and Tim would regularly call and email just to update me on how things were progressing. Tim seemed to genuinely care about my house purchase and getting everything sorted with the mortgage. I cannot recommend Tim enough.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes - I have recently moved in to my new house.

First Time Buyer Mortgage
How has Tim Steer helped you?
Tim has been fantastic in helping us finding our first mortgage. He was available all the time to talk to us about worries or concerns, was prompt in starting our application and kept us up to date regularly in changes. This was helpful with my shift work, he was always considerate towards my availability in the day whether at work or sleeping during the day after nights. The first house we chose had a poor home buyers survey, the estate agents were pressuring us to make a decision. Tim had a chat with the estate agents; he stood up for us when the estate agent was rude and accused us of wasting their time. We have now found our perfect first home and should be moving in soon! Overall very positive experience, has made a stressful time much easier and run smoothly, Thank you!

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Me and my partner were looking to buy our first house but we didn't think we would be able to get on the ladder due to my current debt (it's all managed and paid but looking online it does reduce what certain mortgage lenders would offer.) A friend of mine recommended Tim and said to talk to him before writing off the possibility of getting a home.
How has Tim Steer helped you?
Tim was great, he gave us what I feel was 100% honest advice. He gave us plenty of mortgage options to consider while recommending which ones he thought would be more beneficial in our situation. Any questions we had or concerns Tim was able to answer very quickly and again I feel everything he said was honest and in our best interest.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes we have in that me and my partner completed yesterday and we got our dream house!
What could they have done better?
I know finding out constructive suggestions can help you develop but I honestly don't think there was a single thing that Tim could have done differently to have made him better, I feel the level of service and advice from time was nothing but perfect.

Tim was incredibly helpful. He took a lot of the hassle out of a really stressful experience and I had my mortgage offer within three weeks of first getting in touch with him.

He kept in touch throughout the process and even continued to send me messages to check how things were going after he had more than done his part.

Due to adverse credit history, we wanted to get a mortgage advisor.
How has Tim Steer helped you?
Tim came to our home after working hours and sat with us. Within 3 weeks we had a mortgage offer. Working with Tim saved us endless lost hours of visiting different banks etc trying to find the best deal. Tim got us the best deal possible. He was reassuring, helpful, discreet, understanding and professional. Moving house is hard enough but when someone takes away some of the stress and guessing, their services are invaluable. This is what Tim did for us.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Absolutely, my family & I are now settled in our very first home.
What could they have done better?
I have zero criticism of Tim. He was brilliant from start to finish and choosing Tim to work with was the best decision we ever made.

How has Tim Steer helped you?
Cherrywood Mortgages can search through an extensive range of products. The products & services offered were clearly explained, in plain speak rather than using industry jargon. Very friendly, answered all questions & returned calls without having to chase. We had two houses where the sale collapsed & new valuation/mortgage submissions were needed. Tim reacted very quickly with updating information & arranging the valuations at short notice. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Tim & Cherrywood Mortgages for anything in the future.

Tim from Cherrywood Mortgages was great. I'm a young first time buyer and got Tim's number online gave him a call in the morning, by midday I had a decision in principle and the following day I gave him all my documents and he submitted my application that day, now thats what I can speed and dedication ! He kept me up-to-date and was easy to contact by any method of communication (email, phone, text, whatsapp). He took all the stress, hassle and complication outs of getting a mortgage and made the process slick and easy. If you want a stress free, no hassle and reliable broker then contact Tim / Cherrywood Mortgages soon as possible !! Thanks Tim - I will be recommending your services to all my friends and family for sure !.

How has Tim Steer helped you?
Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish with Cherrywood Mortgages. My partner & I were buying our first house so naturally (and others have already stated the same) wanted a broker who could to advise us on the best products for our financial background / employment status and deposit %. From the very start of the process we knew we were in very safe hands; there wasn’t a stage of the process which was not fully explained (in a non-patronising manner) and we felt assured throughout that Tim had our best interests at hand and worked very hard to get us the best product available for our personal circumstances at a competitive interest rate. Tim worked meticulously on the mortgage application, getting full clarity on every bit of detail to ensure we had the highest chances of success and approval. Nothing ever seemed too much hassle. Highly professional, extremely responsive on email and phone calls, friendly mannered and a real pleasure to work with. Once we secured our mortgages (hooray!) Tim even recommended to help out and arrange our Life Insurance protection policies! In terms of customer service, a rare find nowadays. So much so, my partner & I and our families will be using Cherrywood Mortgages for all our future property investments. Thanks again!.

We were buying our first house and needed a mortgage.
How has Tim Steer helped you?
As first time buyers we got in touch with Tim after a colleague who recently bought a house recommended him. Tim got us a good mortgage but did so much more as well. He was keen to work, chat or help at pretty much any time of day. He helped guide us through the whole house buying process, including looking up home and life insurance cover options for us and recommending handymen and builders he knew. He stayed in touch helping with home insurance and suchlike long after we'd got the mortgage agreed and he had been fully paid. Will definitely talk to him in a few years when it's time to renew my mortgage!.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
We got a better outcome than we were hoping for, with a good mortgage deal and a lot of advice and help above and beyond what we were expecting.

Everything was great. It did cost a bit, but it was well worth it - you get what you pay for.
