My Experience with New Wave: Result in the end, but costly and I needed to be pushing to move things forward
The Good: Secured the mortgage: They successfully found a lender for our complex limited company application.
The Bad:
- Terrible recommendations: They introduced us to Ackroyd solicitors, who provided an awful service. I imagine they took a cut for the recommendation.
High maintenance: I had to continually push to keep the application moving forward as certain things had got stuck in a holding pattern. eg I had to contact the lender, Newcastle Intermediaries, myself to fix a critical error because they had the wrong email address for my accountant and contact the lender directly for critical emails for the sale.
Quite expensive: Although certain people in the company were responsive, I felt the broker fee was quite expensive and that they were constantly trying to upsell us services.
Verdict: While they ultimately achieved the main goal, the high cost, administrative stress, and very poor third-party recommendations made for a frustrating experience.

A great experience......
After my first enquiry, I received a call from George, who from the start was very clear, explained everything really well, listened and was patient.
Throughout the whole process, I was kept informed, had regular contact at every stage, by email and telephone but more importantly I had someone dealing with the application that I could call. The communication sets this company apart from any I've dealt with recently... George particularly was FANTASTIC. Thanks George... from initial enquiry to confirmed mortgage offer was a little over 2 weeks...
Could not be happier...!
