What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Edinburgh Mortgage Advice has built a following among clients who return for further transactions, with reviewers describing second, third and repeat engagements covering purchases, remortgages and buy-to-let arrangements. Staff members Kathryn, Kevin and Mark are named in accounts that highlight patience, warmth and the reassurance offered during stressful periods, including multiple property transfers into a limited company and simultaneous mortgages. A recurring point is the clarity of the product guidance, with customers reporting tailored recommendations and one noting that a revaluation arranged by the team improved the loan-to-value position.

Communication features often in feedback, covering both the period before completion and the follow-up afterwards, and reviewers characterise the service as quick, painless and a relief from the usual strain of borrowing. Complex cases, from deal renewals to first purchases, are described as handled without difficulty at a time when lending conditions were unsettled, and the same names recur when clients recall extra effort to find a suitable mortgage. Several repeat customers mention that they would use the firm again for future borrowing needs.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a fantastic experience working with Kathryn McBride. She helped me arrange my mortgage for a buy-to-let property, and everything went very smoothly from start to finish. Kathryn was professional, efficient, and always quick to respond to my questions. She explained everything clearly and made the whole mortgage process so much easier for me. I truly appreciate her help and would highly recommend Kathryn McBride to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy mortgage advisor.

Edinburgh Mortgage Advice arranged our original mortgage five years ago and, recently, our mortgage renewal. Everyone we've dealt with in the firm has been friendly, professional, and efficient. On both occasions they helped us find a good deal and took the hassle and stress out of finalising it with our lender. Excellent service at a very reasonable rate.

We've had great help and advice from the team at EMA while renewing mortgage deals, and we'll continue to use them in the future. They're clear and quick and took all of the stress out of the process. Would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of help with their mortgage

Edinburgh Mortgage Advice were extremely helpful in guiding my mortgage choices and getting me the best rates. They were also very patient with me as my choices evolved and my mortgage needs changed. The experience was all very painless and I'll be using them again. Recommended.

My wife and I recently went through the mortgage process with Kathryn and Kevin. The process was extremely smooth and communication and visibility of the progress of application was great. Would highly recommend and will be using in future for our renewals.

We were passed along EMA's information from a family member who had success getting a good mortgage with Edinborough Mortgage Advice's assistance. We reached out and both Kevin and Kathryn were so helpful in assisting us in a search for a mortgage we could afford on a house that was perfect for our little family. What can be a very stressful process was kept to a reasonable stress level. They were very straightforward about our options and updated us on the steps were at and what would come next. End result, we are in a lovely house that we wouldn't have been able to get without their assistance.

Have used Edinburgh Mortgage Advice three times now, for two purchases and a remortgage, and every time they have been a delight to work with! The whole team works hard to take the stress out of the process, and I'm sure I'll be going back to them again in future.
