100% recommend David and Kelly with first mortgage.

Our experience was great with first mortgage. Felt guided and assured through the process of purchases our first home together. Special recognition and appreciation for David Orr who had been very present throughout the whole process - clear and concise information provided in an understandable way. David was very approachable with all questions and great to work with. Kelly also was introduced to us towards the closing of the application process and was very responsive in emails and evidently working hard in the background tying up loose ends and ensuring a smooth process for us!

Would 100% recommend.

Exceptional support !!!

I cannot recommend Kerry Golding highly enough. She was absolutely amazing throughout my mortgage application, and I genuinely couldn’t have done it without her. From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, patient, and always clear in her communication. I’d also like to thank Sharon Seale for the support provided behind the scenes. Although I didn’t have as much direct contact, they were always polite and helpful. Overall, an exceptional experience. Thank you for all your hard work and support !

Excellent service

Completely painless - we are delighted, as always, by the service provided - John is professional and clearly knows exactly what he is talking about, in depth. He is extremely knowledgeable and gives us great advice and recommendations based on our particular circumstances. He explains things clearly, but is also quick and efficient in his work. Having dealt with John over a good number of years now, we would never go anywhere else - Thank you again for all your hard work, and for making the whole process as painless as possible! Great guy to deal with

We’ve had a really positive experience with First Mortgage and couldn’t be happier with the service we received

Since you’ve had a very positive experience, I’d make the review warm and specifically mention Mark and Kelly, especially their communication and how smoothly they handled the mortgage application.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We’ve had a really positive experience with First Mortgage and couldn’t be happier with the service we received.

From the beginning, Mark was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and supportive, taking the time to explain everything clearly and guide us through the mortgage process. As first-time buyers, having someone who was approachable and happy to answer our questions made the whole experience much less daunting.

Kelly was also fantastic once our application was submitted. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates so we always knew exactly where things stood. We were delighted to receive our mortgage offer and really appreciate how smoothly everything was handled.

A huge thank you to Mark, Kelly and the First Mortgage team for all your help and support. We would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a mortgage adviser, especially first-time buyers!

5 star company.

Have been using first mortgage for several years.
They always make things clear and precise with what they are doing.

Never once had an issue with their service. Their team have always been greatly helpful in explaining everything fully and un a very friendly manner.

Will continue to use them and will always tell others to try them out too.
5 stars.

Stress free home buying.

As a first-time buyer and solo applicant, the idea of obtaining a mortgage for my first home—and navigating everything that comes with it—was extremely overwhelming. My advisor Joshua and the client manager Sharon were incredibly professional and knowledgeable.

They were friendly, positive, and did the majority of the heavy lifting, which made the whole process an absolute breeze. Having now secured my mortgage and preparing to move into my first home, I will certainly be recommending First Mortgage thanks to the excellent service I received!

I can’t thank Lauren Hyndman and Andrew Thompson enough for all their help throughout the mortgage process. They made everything feel so straightforward and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made me feel really comfortable and confident, especially as a first-time buyer. They were always quick to respond whenever I had a question and were so helpful and reassuring throughout. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor!

Couldn't recommend them enough!

The service I received from Cameron Spence and Katerina at First Mortgage George Street, Aberdeen was amazing.

I was nervous as a first time buyer and being on the younger side I didn't have a clue. But they were so supportive answering all of my questions (no matter how silly they seemed to me) throughout the entire process.

I couldn't recommend them enough, they made a very nerve wracking experience so simple and easy. Cameron talked me through everything in a way that was easy to understand and relieved my worries.

I will 100% be back when the time comes to renew my mortgage!

Thank you guys!

The advisers in first mortgage are so easy to talk to, they respond to your questions quickly. They would give to best options to choose from and most importantly they are very patient with us, especially that we are first time buyers and have zero clue on what to do

Super helpful team :)

The team at first mortgage were very helpful with my first flat purchase, from first contact giving me an idea of the mortgage I could afford, right until completion. I want to thank Georgia and Maisie in particular for their great communications and updates throughout the whole process, it's really appreciated to have someone help you through such a confusing and long process for the first time!

I had a really positive experience…

I had a really positive experience throughout the whole process and would like to say a big thank you to the team for all their help and support.

Molly was always very helpful, approachable and responsive whenever I needed anything, and I really appreciated all the support she gave me.

I would especially like to mention Stuart, who was absolutely brilliant from the very beginning. He was there for me throughout the whole process, always responded quickly, and was incredibly helpful whenever I had questions or needed something explained. He really went above and beyond to make what could have been a very stressful process as smooth as possible.

I have already recommended Stuart to several people I know and have also passed on his contact details because I was so impressed with the service and support he provided.

Thank you to the whole team for making the process so much easier and for all your help along the way. It was genuinely very much appreciated.

Couldn’t be happier!

After being recommended FirstMortgage by a friend, and finding out there was a branch in Broughty Ferry (what a win!), I got a meeting booked within just a couple of days.
Being a first time buyer I was very nervous about the whole process but the experience couldn’t have been better! Both Lisa and Andrea made me feel very welcome and listened to throughout from minute one, whether by phone, email, and in person! The whole process was very quick and efficient and both Lisa and Andrea were fast to respond to any question I had.

As someone who rarely leaves a review, I truly couldn’t recommend the service more!

Wouldn't go anywhere else

Wouldn't go anywhere else, 4th time dealing with First Mortgage and the service is always to the highest possible value. Gets easier each time as they have a fantastic profile for their customers which makes everything easier than you could imagine - zero stress, simple and efficient process- Always a great end result.

Great service

Really pleased with the service from Kelly Strachan and Victoria Hunter at First Mortgage. Both were friendly, responsive and kept everything moving smoothly throughout the process. Communication has been excellent, including proactively reviewing the mortgage rate again before completion to make sure I’m still on the best available deal. Would definitely recommend them.
