Mohammed made our experience very smooth during calls and made the process very easy. However we struggled with availability for calls on their side which made the process take longer than expected

We worked with Suzette through our application process. Suzette exemplifies excellent customer service. She truly went above and beyond for us, ensuring our application was submitted in a critically timely manner.
She is also a very good communicator. There was no confusion regarding the information she provided us with, and she was very patient with our questions. We cannot recommend her enough!

I recently applied to Gatehouse Bank for a Shariah-compliant mortgage and was supported by my advisor, Rana Faza, throughout the entire process. It took less than a week to apply, from an initial phone call to the final offer document. My purchase was also contingent on a quick survey - Rana was able to expedite this for me and get this booked within a few days. She communicated with me regularly throughout the application phase and was responsive to all my questions and additional requirements. A very smooth process - thank you Rana for the help and support.

My mom and I worked with Suzette on an application for home finance and she was incredibly sociable and helpful. She answered all of our questions and we were able to submit our application in a timely manner. I also worked with Katherine to get documents uploaded and she was very helpful as well.

Suzette was clear about the purpose of our meeting, and she was focused and amiable during the application appointment. She repeated information over the course of the meeting so that there was no chance we misunderstood what we were doing. She spoke our responses back to us for clarification, and was professional in all conversation. The application process was very straightforward with Suzette as our guide.

Shaz Essa at Gatehouse Bank is the best at managing and comprehending clients with difficult mortgage applications and approvals.
Without her, my mortgage application with Gatehouse Bank would have been a chore. But she understood my delicate situation and made the best of it when traditional banks couldn't. Gatehouse is, in my opinion, the UK's mortgage reference point. They understand their clients' conditions and make the best of them to function, as opposed to high-street banks, which just follow an outmoded model.
Thank you to Shaz and Gatehouse bank.

Me and my husband have completed the initial application for our first home purchase plan with Gatehouse Bank recently. It was straightforward but required detailed documentation to ensure compliance with Sharia principles. Gatehouse Bank clearly outlined eligibility criteria, and the support team helped clarify what was required, including proof of income, employment details, and personal identification documents.
They have provided a transparent list of documents needed and Helpful guidance on Sharia-compliant requirement.
Upon speaking with Mohammed Fiaz during formal application call, we had a really good discussion on understanding of our needs, goal and our understanding of halal mortgage process. As a first time buyer we did have some queries regarding the entire process but Mohammed Fiaz explain the process and entire purchase plan very thoroughly. He was very clear on every piece of details for formal application and the purchase plan . I do appreciate all his help to complete our application form.
I would definitely recommend gatehouse bank if someone is looking into halal mortgage plan.
Shaz, the home finance advisor was incredibly helpful and responsive the entire time. She had great product knowledge and was able to offer advise on the benefits of each product.

I had a great experience working with Ary Jaff. What stood out most was his deep understanding of the Islamic product; he was able to navigate the specifics effortlessly. Ary always made time to speak with me and provided genuine advice that felt like he had my best interests at heart. My valuation is now complete and the offer issued. I highly recommend Ary if you want someone knowledgeable and trustworthy!
