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

I was buying my first house in 2016.

How has Sonny Gill helped you?

Sonny’s details were passed to me from my first mortgage advisor who was unable to find me a suitable mortgage. Sonny found me a good mortgage deal in 2016, and more recently has found me a good deal with a different provider and has switched my mortgage over.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes.

What could they have done better?

Nothing. Sonny has been really helpful and has even been available to help me over the phone with filling out forms from the solicitor. Sonny has been great at speaking to me over the phone and being available outside my long working hours. I’ve really appreciated him being in contact and always being able to reach him. He always responds very quickly to emails and texts. He is friendly and gives great advice.

I was a first-time buyer looking to get on the property ladder, with an affordable home and affordable mortgage.

How has Sonny Gill helped you?

Sonny completely understood my situation, a single person on a relatively low income, and still managed to find me a really good mortgage that suited my needs. Sonny took care of everything for me, including sourcing and applying for the mortgage while ensuring that I would be able to afford it as well as all of my other outgoings. He also showed me my options for buildings/contents and income protection insurances as well as sourcing and instructing a solicitor for me.
