What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Mortgage advice for first homes and remortgaging runs through the accounts left for this Manchester firm, where Ansar Afsar is named as the adviser in nearly every case. A number of reviews mention how clearly borrowing options were set out, a detail that mattered to people with no previous experience of buying. Contact was maintained without the customer needing to chase, and replies to calls and messages came quickly. Professionalism and patience are singled out, especially when complications arose, including a purchase that fell through and an equity loan that needed folding into a new mortgage.

Customers report that competitive deals were found, with one rate lowered twice before completion, and that the service covered arranging suitable insurance alongside the loan. Guidance continued through each stage of moving home and remortgaging, and the willingness to explain everything in plain terms is credited with making a demanding process feel straightforward. Self-employed applicants feature among those describing their experience, and the same adviser's involvement from start to finish is a recurring theme.

Wow....what a prompt and excellence service. We cannot thank Ansar Afsar, [Mortgage Broker] enough for helping us get our first home! As first-time buyers, we were completely lost, but Ansar Afsar explained everything simply and clearly, always answering our many questions. They were professional, responsive, and found us a fantastic rate. We felt supported through the entire journey. Highly recommended.

As first-time buyers we couldn’t have asked for a better mortgage advisor than Ansar. From the very start of the process Ansar has gone above and beyond to make the whole process stress-free for us. He has always kept us in the loop, explaining all our options clearly and helping us choose what was best for our situation and preferences. Ansar has always maintained regular contact and updates to us throughout the process without us having to chase contact - this has always given us so much peace of mind. We would highly recommend Ansar - thanks to him our mortgage process has been a smooth process. Thank you again!

Amazing service from Ansar, completely understanding of our lack of experience with remortgaging and helped us every step of the way. Would recommend them for anyone looking to move house or remortgage.

Absolutely over the moon with the fantastic service I've received from Ansar and the team, all very knowledgeable and superb. They've been super efficient, quick to respond to any messages or calls I had, found me really good and affordable products, and have been such a massive help from day one. They're a really solid firm and I cannot recommend them enough for all your mortgage needs as a first time buyer.

I worked with Ansar five years ago and didn’t hesitate to reach out to him again when I needed a broker this time. He's always available, quick to respond, and ready with clear, practical advice. Ansar helped me find the most suitable offer and guided me through every step of the process with great professionalism. I felt completely at ease knowing he was handling everything.

My mortgage advisor was Ansar Afsar of We Know Mortgages Ltd and he was very helpful throughout the whole remortgage process. He really went above and beyond, and helped me reduce my mortgage rate twice; securing an amazing mortgage deal just before completion! Excellent service. Well done Ansar and the team. Highly recommend.

Ansar was excellent in helping me to remortgage my property. He helped with consolidating an equity loan into the new mortgage, and ensuring that I have appropriate insurance for the new mortgage. I will be back in a few years when I next need to remortgage - thanks Ansar!
