If you have complex circumstances, or your property is in the 'weird and the wonderful' category I highly recommend calling Victoria at SPF Private Clients. I was initially concerned about a mortgage broker having a bank attached to it but now my re-mortgage to SPF's affiliate LendCo is completed, I see many benefits. In a little less than a month, Victoria at SPF has worked very hard to get our freehold flat re-mortgaged.
It is widely thought that freehold flats are unmortgageable but with a few lenders this isn't the case. LendCo were comfortable with the security and were able to help at a surprisingly realistic rate. Having a mortgage broker with such specialist knowledge is highly valuable. The process wasn't perfect and there were some bumps along the way, however Victoria did everything she could to make it happen and it's all done now! Good job!

Elena and Megan made this process an absolute dream. They were ahead of the game, solved any problem almost before we knew about it and undoubtedly provided us with a service we would not have received elsewhere. Any and all of my future mortgage advice will be sought here!

Our experience with Adam Flaherty could not be more pleasant. Adam is extremely friendly and professional and delivered the most exceptional level of care you could imagine. Being a complete newbie to mortgage and other applications, Adam made it the easiest and most efficient part of the whole process of buying a flat. His honesty and expertness really put our mind at ease. Whenever we were in doubt, Adam was on the bell and was happy to help and give suggestions even on things that were not directly related to his role and for that we are very grateful. I would confidently recommend Adam to anyone.

I was referred to Scott McHugh by the friend of mine who worked with Scott on his property purchase. I didn't even know how lucky I was to find out about SPF from the friend of mine rather than trying to google for the mortgage broker. I was amazed by a fantastic job Scott and the team have done throughout the entire property buy journey. I was in a good hands from the very beginning as I could bring up any question I had and get always a professional and experienced answer and guidance which made all the process so simple for me.
Brilliant job and a great experience for me by working with a high class team. Recommend to everyone who wants hassle free mortgage with guaranteed high quality results in a very time efficient manner!
