What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
We had a reasonably complex requirement involving purchasing a new house that needed work while being able to continue to live in our current house until the work was done. Paul came up with a few options and then recommended what he thought was the best way to do it.
How has Paul Dorward helped you?
See above. Paul also advised us on our dealings with estate agents.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes.
What could they have done better?
I really can't think of anything. He was very flexible with meetings. We were able to phone, email or even test questions.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I wanted to find a mortgage to buy a flat in the UK whilst living and working abroad.
How has Paul Dorward helped you?
Paul was able to find the right mortgage for me, explained everything and helped me get all the paperwork together for the application.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, I got the mortgage and was able to purchase the flat.
What could they have done better?
More frequent contact would have been reassuring at some stages of the process, even if just to say we were still waiting for information from the lender.
Paul:
Hi Sarah, thanks for your comments and your feedback. Depending on the complexity of the application, some lenders do take an extraordinarily long time to process information presented to them. However, we understand that is important that clients are kept up to date with the progress of their application and we have invested in a text message service to ensure that general updates are provided regularly. We will of course continue to call to discuss more detailed updates and will strive to deliver the service that all clients deserve. I wish you all the best for your new flat and I look forward to working with you again in the future. Paul.
