Flawless service
Megan and Jessica were brilliant, very efficient in the review of my mortgage and recommended a perfect solution for my renewal.
I have been dealing with First Mortgage…
I have been dealing with First Mortgage for almost 10 years. They helped me with my mortgage for my first property, have helped during remortgaging and now with moving on to a family home. Really easy process from start to finish. Our mortgage advisor Max and our client manager, Sean have been excellent throughout. During face to face meetings, phone calls and emails, every question and query was answered. We would very much recommend anyone to First Mortgage
They helped me every step of the way
They helped me every step of the way. Whatever information I needed about my mortgage application, they were there to help me understand the processes. Highly recommend it to anybody who's a first-time buyer!
Great Servcie
Really pleased with the service from First Mortgage. They made the whole process of remortgaging my flat straightforward and easy, with clear communication throughout. Everything went smoothly and I’d definitely recommend them.
We honestly can't thank first montages…
We honestly can't thank first montages enough! They have been absolutely amazing and so helpful and thoughtful throughout the whole process! They really helped us understand everything and was very kind and easy to talk to. Especially both Anthony and Keiren, keeping us in the loop at all times and making us feel very comfortable. I can't recommend them enough, thank you so much again.

First Mortgage - Great Service
First Mortgage were great from start to finish, supporting me across the whole journey of purchasing my first house. Any question I had was answered super quickly and things I hadn't even thought of, information/support was provided, allowing me to focus my attentions elsewhere. Thanks Vicky & Kev for your assistance.
Found first mortgage a few months ago …
Found first mortgage a few months ago from an online search, great to have an initial face to face with Geo to talk through our options and get a decision in principal to be able to start looking at properties within a set price range. Following up via zoom and email after that was helpful to fit around work.Geo found us a good mortgage well within budget and gave us clear email instructions as to what we needed to gather for the mortgage application, she was very accommodating to make amendments when requested. Yvonne has kept us up to date via email and phone and responds promptly to any questions we have had, she is also clear in her emails and cc's us in correspondence with other agencies. This has been a really useful service as a first time buyer as I was clueless about what we needed to do! It is great that this is a free service for the customer!
Great Service - Corstorphine Branch
John and Anna from the Corpstorphine branch have been excellent throughout our application, clarifying and simplifying key information, thoroughly considering our situation and needs and have been very communicative throughout the whole process, taking much of the stress away.

I had an excellent experience with First Mortgage and couldn’t recommend them enough. Sophie and Samantha were fantastic throughout the entire process of buying my first home.
As a first-time buyer, there were many things that were new to me, but they made everything much easier to understand and were always available to answer my questions. Communication was excellent, and I always felt well informed about what was happening and what the next steps were.
Samantha was incredibly helpful in finding and arranging the right mortgage for me, and Sophie was brilliant at keeping everything moving and supporting me all the way through to completion.
Buying your first home can be stressful, but having Sophie and Samantha supporting me made a huge difference. I’m now officially a homeowner and genuinely grateful for all their help. I would absolutely recommend First Mortgage, especially Sophie and Samantha, to anyone looking for mortgage advice.
Excellent service
Abby and Sharon were excellent! They replied really quickly to all our queries and took the stress out of what is often a difficult process. I have already recommended them to friends and will continue to do so.
Thanks Abby and Sharon!
Ive used First mortgage for years
Ive used First mortgage for years. They've done everything from new mortgages to remortgages and a number of insurance policies.
They take all of the hassle out of what can be a stressful process. They're readily available including weekends and evenings and are efficient with responses.
I'll be using them the rest of my days and would recommend them to everyone.
As a first time buyer I was new to all…
As a first time buyer I was new to all the mortgage options. David Frost was extremely helpful at explaining everything, and finding a mortgage that suit me and my own circumstances. Thank you!
Supportive and Helpful
We had a great service and experience with first mortgage. We cant thank Nico and Molly enough from the Dundee branch for their help throughout the process of purchasing our first home. They made the process straight forward and supported us through every step. We would definitely recommend this company.
Excellent service
I can’t thank Keith and Jay enough for their help with my remortgage. They were both so patient, professional and approachable, explaining everything clearly from start to finish. They made the whole process feel simple and stress-free. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing help with a mortgage or remortgage. Fantastic service!
First Time Buyer
From the beginning First Mortgage were brilliant. As a first time buyer,I was extremely overwhlemed by everything until I spoke to Kayleigh and Jae. Both made everything super simple and really helped me feel at ease and helped me find the best deal.
They always kept in contact, answered any emails and really made the process smooth.
10/10 and really can't thank them enough for helping us with our first mortgage.
Fuss free
Paul and David helped us with our new mortgage for our home move. Process was very straight forward and fuss free. Really handy to be able to upload documents online to save having to take physical copies.
Terrible experience - Uninterested and unprofessional
Terrible experience. I am a young person and was hoping to find out about buyers schemes and mortgage rates, I was called first by a man whose name I can't remember to make a video call appointment - he was very helpful and understanding and didn't seem phased when I said I hadn't found a house yet and wasn't planning on getting a mortgage set up on the meeting. Then come to the video call where I first spoke to Neale. He told me something wasn't working on his end so we could only do a normal phone call, fine, then proceeded to be condescending and uninterested in the whole ordeal. Especially when I emphasised the fact that I wasn't 100% ready to buy there and then and wanted a few more months to get a bigger deposit. He clearly thought I was a waste of his time and any questions I has about schemes or new builds, he brushed off as "you don't need to worry about that yet" and all he cared about was finding out how much I could borrow. Yes, I do need to know that but I wanted to speak to an advisor for ADVICE and he has absolutely none to give. Oh, he was also incredibly unprofessional about personal details that had absolutely nothing to do with a house buying process (he doesn't need to know why a family member is in hospital??????). Finally, he said he would be in touch once he had a figure that I could potentially borrow, so off he went, meanwhile I had gotten absolutely nothing useful out of that 15 minute phone call. A day later he rang me back to tell me how much I could potentially borrow, again, absolutely no interest in the conversation whatsoever, his tone with me was awful, it was like he wanted me know he didn't give a f***. Anyway, he told me, then asked more questions about my company vehicle and how that works, I had to go to work so ended up messaging him the answers to his questions. That was 2 weeks ago and I haven't heard anything more from him. I am quite grateful for that to be fair though as this was the first place I had gone to for a conversation bout buying a first house and it completely put me off. If you didn't want to speak to me because you thought it wasn't worth your time, I would have rather you told me that instead of wasting mine. I think someone needs to have a word with Neale about the way he treats young inexperienced people in the market, and about personal matters do and don't matter when getting information. I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy.
