I had an excellent experience with this mortgage company Jo and Beverly were superb. Their service was outstanding from start to finish, and their communication was clear, prompt, and professional throughout the entire process. They made everything straightforward and were always available to answer any questions. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive mortgage provider.

Thank you so much to Nichola and Josh who helped us renew our mortgage. It was completely stress free and they were always very happy to help or answer any questions along the way. We had never gone through this process before, but thanks to Nichola and Josh everything was super smooth and easy. Couldn’t recommend first mortgage enough they’ve now helped us with our first home to renewal of the mortgage!

Mark was excellent throughout our recent mortgage renewal. Communication was outstanding, with quick responses to any questions and timely reminders whenever further information was needed. As a self-employed applicant, the process can sometimes be more complicated, but Mark—and later Hayley—made everything straightforward, smooth, and stress-free. Their professionalism, efficiency, and support throughout were greatly appreciated, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable mortgage broker.

We’ve just used First Mortgages to help us remortgage our home and once again they’ve been fantastic. They found us a great rate and made the whole process so easy and stress free from start to finish. This is the second time we’ve used them and the service has been excellent on both occasions. They kept us informed throughout, answered our questions and took the hassle out of everything for us. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for mortgage or remortgage advice. Thank you for all your help!

Can’t recommend First Mortgage enough! Our Mortgage Advisor Mark at the Dunston branch was amazing and helped us through the whole house buying process, which as first time buyers was super helpful and we really couldn’t have done it without him! Jo was also amazing and kept us updated every step of the way! They made it such a smooth process for us and we’re now in our own home less than 4 months later. Really cannot fault the service at all and had the best experience!
