The Wealth Management induction session…
The Wealth Management induction session conducted with James Butler was informative and insightful. James is an excellent Manager to entrust with your financial planning needs. His knowledge, breadth of experience and the ability to handle all questions is very evident in dealing with him. My dealings with Octopus Wealth have been very positive to date and would not hesitate to recommend these guys!
Best experience with Ben Kehoe.
Ben Kehoe was fantastic! As first time buyers, his service was super professional, he was a pleasure to work with and made us feel at ease. We would certainly recommend using Octopus Wealth and Ben in particular for anyone looking for a smooth and seamless process for getting a mortgage.
Ben Kehoe made the extra effort and…
Ben Kehoe made the extra effort and responded to me very quickly when I needed the help. I have recommended him to friends.
Highly recommend Ben & Octopus Wealth
Ben was very friendly, responsive and helpful throughout the entire process - helping me find a specialist lender for an initial property where the main banks wouldn't lend on it (sadly fell through), and then helping me lock in a good rate in a very short time frame right before the rates went up back in October! Very grateful and would highly recommend.
Mortgage-First Time Buyer
Mortgage-First Time Buyer
I honestly cannot thank Ben enough for all of his help in gaining a mortgage for me. I am a first time buyer and had no knowledge on mortgages and where to begin. With it also being a tricky time with interest rates rising, Ben managed me to get the best rate on the market. Ben would always take his time to explain the rates and options to really help me understand. He provided an excellent service and I would recommend him to all my friends and family.
Amazing experience with Octopus Wealth
Amazing experience with Octopus Wealth. After purchasing my first home and having no idea where to even start, Ben made things extremely simple and smooth by breaking everything down for us. He was always on hand whenever I had an questions and was extremely quick at responding which we really appreciated as these things can sometimes be time sensitive
Alongside that he was able to find us a really good mortgage rate which we were over the moon with especially with the current situation going on. Would highly recommend, a truly please experience
Octopus - Really professional and efficient service!
Ben at Octopus was really responsive, communicative and helpful, providing us with various different mortgage products as we played around with the various options available to us. This gave us confidence in deciding the right course and took a lot of stress out of the process, which was invaluable during the changing interest rate environment. Would definitely recommend!
Excellent service
Ben was so helpful and friendly. He supported me throughout the process. I will definitely recommend him and Octopus Wealth for any mortgage related services.
Amazing service from Octopus Wealth
I started with the very ambiguous arena of a mortgage for buying a house as a first-time buyer. Ben has been excellent at walking through all the steps involved in buying a house. He started with such ease and his explanation answered all my questions before I could ask any. Really helpful in thinking along to make the right decisions. Thanks Ben and Octopus wealth!
Great service
We're first time buyers who used Octopus Wealth as our mortgage advisors. Service from Ben was fantastic. Ran through all the options in an easy to understand and non-pushy manner unlike some of the advisors from other firms we spoke to, response times to emails was second-to-none, and was happy to help even after we moved in and the mortgage process was finished.
Excellent expereince
My brother and I worked with Ben recently to get our flat remortgaged recently and the process was impressively smooth. Ben was very quick and efficient when he needed to be and was always there with responses when we needed him to be. We couldn't recommend his services more
Ben was so helpful sorting out my new BTL mortgage!
Ben was so helpful in arranging a non-standard buy to let mortgage for me. He responded to all my requests in a timely manner and was always available to help. I loved the open approach he took with me and I would happily recommend this service to anyone.
Excellent service, very happy.
Ben helped my wife and I purchase our new home. Ben worked very hard to not only get us the best mortgage possible, but was great at demystifying the application process.
Ben is an excellent communicator, who is very patient and is great at explaining things.
Having a high pressured job whereby I spend alot of time in meetings makes having personal calls during the day tough. Ben was very accommodating. He had numerous calls with me in the evening to keep the application moving and answer questions we had.
I've already referred a colleague to Ben given the great experience we had.
Ben is super friendly & helpful
Ben is super friendly, knowledgeable and helped my husband and me sort out a new mortgage. When we had to change some parameters of what we needed, he helped with that and kept us informed of anything else we needed to know. He also gave great advice when we were unsure about which options would work best for us. I thoroughly recommend him!
I recently worked with Ben Kehoe to…
I recently worked with Ben Kehoe to understand the mortgage process and obtain his help in acquiring a mortgage via Octopus Wealth. From start to finish Ben was amazing. He shows in depth knowledge of the process and is well linked to exceptional conveyancing solicitors. As a first time buyer I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I 100% recommend Ben and Octopus Wealth and would have no hesitation in using them again.
Great service
We've been in touch with Ben for well over a year now, having several meetings and he's always been really helpful and knowledgeable of the market. The advice was always tailored to our situation, giving us all options and eventually helping us settle on the mortgage we needed.
I'd highly recommend Octopus Wealth for mortgage advice.
Thoroughly recommend Ben!
Thoroughly thoroughly recommend Ben! He is super friendly and helpful and goes above and beyond, but is also really knowledgeable and puts your mind at rest during the stressful process of getting the right mortgage in place.
Will be recommending him to all our friends who are looking to move, and will also be back in touch in the future whenever we move again.
Thanks so much Ben, all the best, Claire & Ollie
Seamless start to finish
Ben was incredibly transparent, hands on and kept things moving at pace, even when we had set backs. Everything was done with ease and the Octopus portal made things simple. I certainly now have my contact for all future mortgage needs. Thank you to Ben and Octopus.
Excellent advice and service from Simon
Excellent Service and advice from Simon, articulated in a way that took out the technical jargon and made it real to me and my own needs. Would highly recommend.....
Five star Mortgage Advisor
I don't think I could have asked for a better Advisor. This was my first property purchase and I had 101 questions about the process and options. Ben was incredibly supportive and patient, going above and beyond to talk me through everything. He found us a great mortgage that worked for all of our requirements and he worked hard with the provider to get our mortgage agreed in time for exchange. Not only that, he also made us feel like we were his top priority and had a very professional and personable manner. I'd recommend Ben time and time again.
