Couldn’t recommend them enough!
We were placed with Rachael and Lianne to sort our mortgage application and building and contents insurance. For what was already a stressful experience buying our first home, both Rachael and Lianne made this part of the process a complete breeze! They were always contactable and provided us with updates without us asking, they answered all our questions promptly and even looked for better deals for us whilst the process was ongoing. We couldn’t recommend first mortgages enough, especially for first time buyers!

Great service for a first time buyer
Very helpful, great service and very good communication about every aspect of the mortgage and moving process. Constantly checking in with both myself and the solicitors which was very much appreciated.
perfect service
absolutely outstanding work from the team at First Mortgage. I had the pleasure of being assisted by Cameron and Nicola who helped me secure funding within 3 days of applying and explained the process very well and clearly. Could not fault one step and would highly recommend First Mortgage to anyone dealing with a mortgage.

First Mortgage in Tollcross have been…
First Mortgage in Tollcross have been excellent. I am not from the UK and had a portion of my deposit coming from overseas which complicated matters. Stuart and Marica were so incredibly helpful and provided lots of updates and despite getting rejected from one mortgage application I was approved and got a better rate than expected. I am now settled into my first place and thrilled to no longer have to pay rent.

Really positive experience working with Kenny through an complex mortgage situation. Easy to talk to and kept in touch throughout until mortgage offer was in place.

First Mortgage review
With us both being self employed we were apprehensive about getting a mortgage offer, but no questions were too much hassle for the guys at First Mortgage. They both kept in touch at least once weekly and emailed with numerous updates too. This service almost felt too good to be true as it’s free. I have already recommended First Mortgage to a few of my own clients and am really grateful for such a pleasant and quick experience. Advisors - Lynne Donnelly & Scott Parry.
Excellent team at first mortgage
Excellent team at first mortgage. We were advised by Nicola and Kirsty and we were very impressed with the service they provided.
5 star service - High St / Merchant City branch
I had an extremely positive experience with First Mortgage - A huge thank you to both Lauren and Andrew at the High St / Merchant City branch for guiding me through the entire process, and for their patience, knowledge, and support throughout. They made the process as smooth as it can be. I have already recommended them to friends currently looking to buy a home - and would recommend to anyone!
The First Mortgage Team was incredibly…professional
The First Mortgage Team was incredibly attentive, responding to queries in real time and keeping me updated. I felt guided and supported throughout! Louis and Lottie, thank you for making everything feel so effortless!
Excellent mortgage advisor company! Would totally recommend.
First mortgage were excellent from start to finish. Would recommend them as a service, particularly for first time buyers. Kevin was excellent at the start, clearly outlining the mortgage process, offered great advice and was so quick to respond to requests throughout! Helen was also excellent, she responded to all our requests quickly and was so helpful at explaining things in detail (important for first time buyers who do not fully understand all the processes). Both of them were so friendly and they made the whole process a whole lot stressful. Would really recommend first mortgage and we appreciate all your help! The fact that all this advice does not come at a cost to the customer is unbelievable. 5 stars for this company and to Kevin and Helen.
Another very positive experience with…
Another very positive experience with First Mortgage in Musselburgh. Lyndsey makes the process so easy, is so knowledgeable and so easy to work with. Rebecca is also very quick to come back with anything they require to keep the process moving. Would always recommend!
