We have recently just used Rachel at Mortgage Advice Hut and we are really happy with the service that we have received. Last time we had a mortgage put in place, with a different company, it was really time consuming and communication was poor, hence the reason we tried somewhere new and we are so pleased we did. Everything went really smoothly and the communication was great. Thank you.

She definitely went over my expectations as she answered emails late in the evenings and I never waited very long for a response. Shes guided me through the mortgage process very well, but also on any other queries regarding housing, insurance, bills etc etc I recommend anyone wishing advice or help to go with Georgia! Thank you!

Georgia was amazing made the whole process so much more understandable. She took us through each step explaining and making sure we had the best deal for our budget. As first time buyers it gave us a great reassurance that we were making the best decisions. Would strongly recommend that you use Georgia, and Mortgage Advice Hut Ltd.

Didnt know anything about purchasing a property when I first came to Georgia from TMC. She spoke me through it and booked me in for a zoom meeting to discuss funds and get something in principle with a lender. Once I found the property that I wanted to purchase, Georgia put me in a full application and only charged a small fee for this to be done. My first property fell through so she put another application in free of charge for a different property. What a great service from her and TMC. Id recommend them 100%, she was responsive instantly to any of my queries and helped it become a smooth transaction

Where to start? After our current mortgage lender turned us down for a home mover mortgage and another, recommended, mortgage broker failed to respond to phone calls and emails, a google search turned up Tarleton Mortgage Centre. From the word go Rachel has been nothing less than amazing. As a customer I am demanding, impatient and hard work, but Rachel didn't give me the chance to be any of those things as she was so on the ball.
Just when we thought all hope was lost of getting a new mortgage, TMC came through, understood our situation and complicated finances completely and were effortless to deal with. We now get to move into our forever home and that is almost entirely down to Rachel and TMC's inane professionalism and commitment. I can not recommend them highly enough.
