Regulation: Ensure that you do your due diligence and check that your broker can be found on the Financial Conduct Authority Register – you can check the firm and individuals on the government website: https://register.fca.org.uk/s/  This will help ensure that you are dealing with a professional who is knowledgeable about the mortgage industry and adheres to ethical standards. 

 

Experience: Look for a mortgage broker who has experience in the industry and a good track record of helping clients secure financing. This will give you confidence that they know what they are doing and can help you find the most suitable mortgage product for your needs. 

 

Fees: Be sure to ask about any fees or charges that the mortgage broker will be charging for their services. Make sure you understand exactly what these fees are for and whether they are fair and reasonable. 

 

Range of products: Choose a mortgage broker who offers a wide range of mortgage products from different lenders. This will increase your chances of finding a product that meets your needs and helps you secure the most suitable interest rate and lender. 

 

Communication: Make sure the mortgage broker you choose is easy to communicate with and willing to take the time to explain things to you. This will help ensure that you fully understand the mortgage process and feel comfortable with the decisions you are making. 

 

At The Mortgage Branch, we are here to help you secure the most suitable mortgage for you, whatever your situation.

David arranged both our private & rental property mortgages along with other financial matters & made the whole process as straightforward & easy as possible for us.

He was utterly professional & took us step by step through each process taking a huge amount of the stress away from us.

We couldn’t recommend The Mortgage Branch highly enough we are so glad we found you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much.

Samantha Scott-White

Best ever mortgage service! Three mortgages were done without hassle! Miles always goes that extra mile to deliver the best possible advice and service!

Highly recommended, very happy customers!

Alex Kulakevich

I seriously can’t recommend these guys enough, my boyfriend and I are first time buyers and we were let down so many times by our first mortgage advisor, it got to the point where we were at the verge of giving up on a mortgage and just rent until our friends told us to go to David! I honestly wish we went to The Mortgage Branch first, they managed to get us a mortgage within a couple of weeks, David and Lawrie have continuously kept us up to date with what’s happening, they are unbelievably friendly, very helpful and understanding! I couldn’t be happier with their services!

4 months ago I was stressed out and deflated, now because of The Mortgage Branch they’ve made us excited again!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Jess Lee

My partner and I were looking to buy a new house and we were looking for the right deal that we could get during these uncertain times, were so glad that we contacted The Mortgage branch, Cheltenham who helped us get a great deal!

We dealt with both David and James who both couldn’t do enough for us!!

A* for customer service and done with a smile!

Curtis Russell

Excellent service throughout the whole re-mortgage process. I could not have asked for more.

Great to see that the service exceeds expectations!

Excellent and very efficient service from Jake, no query too small.

Always available and always more than happy to help.

Highly recommended.

Gary Parrish

David was fundamental in my house purchase.

He went above and beyond what was expected of him. My case was particularly complex however David constantly sought out solutions and contacted other parties when necessary.

Aside from making the process really easy for me, he also found me great products. He is reliable, consistent and we found him very trustworthy.

I highly recommend David.

Az Yi

David did a fantastic job with my Mortgage application.

Being my first mortgage, he was patient and understanding with all my questions, and he even liaised with my accountants directly.

Would recommend!

Emily Chung

Miles and the team at The Mortgage Branch were fantastic, and couldn’t have been more helpful through the process.

Thanks!

The Mortgage Branch could not have been more professional, helpful and generally pleasant.

Great knowledge and felt very confident and assured throughout.

I am now a homeowner – so thank you very much indeed!

An absolutely superb and superior personal service taking the stress and pressure out of the house buying process.

Chris Barry

We’ve just dealt with Jake Aubertin at The Mortgage Branch and, not only was he an absolute pleasure to deal with, he was able to save us over £10k on our total mortgage repayment! No-fuss, no mess, just honest, helpful advice.

I cannot recommend enough.

Jonny Carr

Having recently re-mortgaged residential and BTL properties through the Mortgage Branch it’s refreshing to find a team who deliver what they promise.

The client really does come first and Miles has worked tirelessly to find the right deals for me which is why I have happily recommended him to a couple of business partners who have also received the same high level of service.

It doesn’t matter how simple or complex the requirement is, Miles and David have the expertise, commitment and customer focus to find the very right deal.

This is such a painless process when you have a professional onboard and I would have no hesitation in recommending them again.
