10/10

Ansar was incredibly helpful supporting me with my house buying process.

He made the whole mortgage process feel straightforward and much less stressful than I expected. He was always happy to answer my questions and took the time to explain everything clearly, which I really appreciated.

I’d highly recommend Ansar to anyone looking for a reliable and professional mortgage broker. Thanks again for all your help!

First time buyer

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a property with support from We Know Mortgages Limited, and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. As a self-employed, first-time buyer, I was initially apprehensive about the house buying process. However, Ansar's professionalism and expertise made all the difference.

From the outset, Ansar was incredibly sympathetic to my situation- especially when a previous property purchase fell through. Ansar was always quick to respond, providing intelligent and thoughtful feedback to all my questions. His guidance was invaluable, especially for someone unfamiliar with the intricacies of buying a house.

Ansar went above and beyond, suggesting appropriate solicitors and offering insightful comments on quotations, the house I was purchasing and housing prices in the local area. His knowledge and advice helped me navigate the process with confidence and ease.

In summary, Ansar is a wonderful professional whose dedication, responsiveness, and expertise truly set him apart. His colleagues, similarly, were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to purchase a property, particularly first-time buyers. Thank you, Ansar, for making my home buying experience such a positive one!

Excellent Service

I met Ansar during the pandemic, he was excellent and helped us secure a very good mortgage, and he has always been available for advice since then. I have recomended him to friends, who also had a very good experience with him.

Helpful, professional and responsive

I couldn't recommend We Know Mortgages enough! My partner and I were first time buyers and had a lot of questions regarding the house buying process and mortgage options. Ansar and Emma would usually respond to our emails within a few hours or they gave us a call straight away, which really made everything move forward so much more quickly. Ansar managed to secure a great mortgage offer for us and Emma helped us with finding a good insurance deal. We will definitely use their services again if we get to buy another house.

We’ve used We Know Mortgages for our last three mortgage applications and have nothing but positives. Ansar and Karolina have arranged our most recent mortgage which we thought would be slightly more complicated than normal, due to a change in our circumstances we are moving house having only agreed our mortgage renewal 3 months ago. All our concerns were put to rest and we have been able to port our mortgage whilst also borrowing the additional capital we need. They provide a personal, friendly service, always keeping you informed of any updates and getting you the best deal they can. Thanks again guys and we’ll be sure to return in another couple of years when it’s time to renew again!

These guys are so easy to use and have excellent knowledge, I would recommend using We Know Mortgages to all my friends and family.
My re-mortgage only took 4 weeks and all online, they found me the best deal in the market and as an added benefit all costs were paid by the mortgage company.
Fantastic service, thank you

Highly recommend!!!!

Ansar was recommended to my by a friend. I was welcomed into the We Know Mortgages Office and after a few questions, Ansar found me an excellent mortgage deal. He then talked me through the next steps and stayed in contact with me through out the whole process.

Ansar is very professional, approachable and friendly. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a mortgage.

Best mortgage brokers by far

Best mortgage brokers by far, while shopping around for brokers I met some who had absolutely no clue what they were doing, if it was not a clear cut case they gave up (looking for easy money). I started working with Karolina since October 2018 and only just completed in June 2019! My case has got to be one of the extreme special cases with many 'quack' brokers telling me to go away build my credit and come back in 2 years, to which my response to them is "do you think I will use a broker then"? Anyway, Karolina at we know mortgages was patient through this 8 months, supported us all through and everytime there seemed to be a challenge she provided expert and professional advice. They are very confident in what they do that you only pay them after completion!!!
Thank you all at we know mortgages and especially thank you Karolina, you are a rare gem and an asset to we know mortgages.

We just bought our new home

We just bought our new home and We Know Mortgages were fantastic throughout the whole process. We would highly recommend them based on the excellent service they provided.

We would like to especially thank Ansar and Karolina for all the help, support and guidance they gave during what could have been a stressful time, given how complex our situation was. Ansar was very knowledgable and helpful in explaining how the process would work and had a good understanding on how our situation could be dealt with. Both him and Karolina got back to us promptly the many times we rang to query something or were unsure and needed further guidance. Thank you once again! Adam & Mariam

Great company and service

We contacted Ansar for a mortgage in principle, my partner not knowing much about mortgages he was very helpful in explaining the process and costs and what would work for our budget. Although the house purchase took longer than expected Ansar was there to assist along the way with any queries, he has also assisted us with finding life insurance. Would highly recommend using WKM and their fee is the cheapest I have ever had.

This is the second mortgage we've secured with the help of Ansar and team and today got the keys to our new home, Exited! The process was fast with no hassle and the most important we got a brilliant mortgage deal! Ansar and Sanjit did everything for us, always helpful and prompt answering, couldn't ask for better.
They will see us again on the renewal of our mortgage or if we decide to move again :)

Emma has gone above and beyond to help us out with our purchase despite being a very complex case. She kept us involved and up to date every step of the way and everything was carried out in a timely manner. Couldn't be happier with the service!

Great company when looking for a mortgage deal. I had finished a relationship after shortly buying our first home! Very awkward! So I needed to get a mortgage on my own and looked at reviews on Google and of course We Know Mortgages had the best reviews. I firstly spoke to Ansar who was fantastic and knew what he was doing straight away, very friendly too he was there through my whole case for guidance. I shortly came into the office and had a chat with Ranjit who dealt with my case from start to finish, she is an absolute gem! So friendly and understanding of my situation. She helped me out so much at every hurdle i threw at her. And of course the end result i got the best mortgage deal! which I don't think i would have got on my own. I would recommend this company to anyone when looking for mortgage deals.

Highly recommend!

We found We Know Mortgages online when searching for a Mortgage Broker as first time buyers and we highly recommend. We dealt with Emma who was a joy to deal with throughout the whole process, providing endless advice and assistance. Emma really helped make the house buying process as painless as possible and was there to answer any questions we had as first time buyers. To us that was priceless and can't thank her enough.

Fantastic company, highly recommended

So today we completed on our new house and without Ansar it wouldn't have been possible. We started the process with initial worries as even though my partners credit rating was good mine wasn't so much, Ansar straight away put us at ease and said he didn't think it would be a problem. He was so relaxed and easy to speak to through the whole process, even when I was calling several times a week for updates. He easily secured us a mortgage with a fantastic rate and offered us some great advice when it came to dealing with solicitors, being first time buyers this was a god send. Just want to thank him and his team for helping us secure our dream home, and I would definitely recommend the services to anyone.
