Having worked with them for several years, I have consistently been impressed by their ability to navigate market trends, provide expert guidance, and secure the best possible outcomes.

Ashley was the second mortgage broker I approached to help with a complex buy to let remortgage (student flat held in a company). He was quick to respond, professional and extremely knowledgable. He completed the refinancing in less than 3 months after we had tried for more than 4 months unsuccessfully to find a lender with a prior broker. Would highly recommend.

Really great experience with Sheila Blacklaw as first-time buyers. She made everything feel a lot less stressful and easy to understand from the start.

​A huge thanks to Sheila for helping me secure my mortgage offer. I was originally recommended to her by a friend she had helped previously; he told me that words couldn't even describe how good her service is, and he was absolutely right!

​Sheila took all the pressure off my shoulders and kept me updated every single step of the way. She made everything crystal clear, especially when it came to the documentation, and she was incredibly responsive to every question I had. She truly went the extra mile by proactively coordinating with the solicitors to ensure they had everything they needed.

We used Sheila Blacklaw of Compare The Mortgage Limited for a complex house purchase & mortgage port situation. From start to finish Sheila was proactive, clear and extremely knowledgeable.

➜ She secured a formal mortgage offer from NatWest quickly (despite the ported mortgage scenario) and explained everything in plain English.
➜ She advised us on affordability, documentation (SA302s, company accounts, payslips), and kept our solicitor in the loop.
➜ Whenever we had questions (which were many given the chain/sale/purchase) she answered promptly and didn’t leave us in the dark.
➜ She helped us avoid the typical pitfalls (new credit, income changes, large transactions) and made sure we were well-positioned for exchange.

I cannot recommend Sheila and Compare The Mortgage Limited highly enough. If you’re looking for a broker who will champion your best interests and take the stress out of the process — this is it.

Thank you Sheila & team!

Sheila is the best in the business. She secured us an affordable mortgage very quickly. It was hassle free and she is always ready to answer any of your questions. Thank you Sheila for a such a smooth and easy experience.

As first-time buyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better mortgage advisor than Sheila. From the very beginning she has been fantastic – incredibly responsive, patient, and clear in her explanations.

We initially met with another advisor but didn’t feel it was the right fit. Through a mutual contact we were introduced to Sheila, and straight away we knew we were in safe hands. She took the time to make everything easy to understand, guided us through each step of the process, and was always available to answer questions (no matter how small).

Buying your first home can feel daunting, but Sheila made the whole experience so much smoother. We feel really lucky to have been introduced to her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for mortgage advice.

Sheila has been our family mortgage broker for many years now and whether it be BTL/Resi, she has always gone above and beyond when handling our mortgages. It's been a pleasure dealing with Sheila and her personality/tenacity is the reason I wouldn't look for another broker

As an expat, I was concerned about finding a new deal at the end of my five year fixed mortgage plan. Ashley at Compare the Mortgage was recommended to me & I am thankful that he was. Knowledgable, with great market insights, he understood my needs & what the market had to offer to meet them - it was more complex than I had bargained for but I felt reassured by the options Ashley provided.

Expat mortgages were new to me & I’ve learnt they need care, patience & a lot of attention to detail - Ashley & his team are the ones to help guide you through the process.

Recommended without hesitation.

I was completed unfamiliar with the mortgage process in the UK, but I was introduced to Sheila through a friend. She was extremely professional and efficient. Initially, I felt overwhelmed by the whole process of buying a prperty and applying for a mortgage, but with Sheila's help, everything became clear and manageable.

I had a great experience working with Sheila. She made the whole mortgage process so much easier and was super helpful every step of the way. One thing I really appreciated was how reassuring Sheila was, especially when I wasn’t sure if what I had was good enough. Sheila explained everything clearly to make me confident moving forward.

It was also really easy to get in touch — any time I had a question (even the small ones), Sheila was quick to respond and happy to help. The whole process felt much less stressful thanks to her support. I'd definitely recommend Sheila Blacklaw to anyone looking for help with a mortgage!
