The customers came to us via our website mortgage enquiry form.  They were looking for their first mortgage, they also needed to buy via the Help to Buy scheme.

Despite a few credit problems in the past, we were determined to help the couple and their 5 children purchase their first home.

We sourced the market and using our expert knowledge, of which lenders will accept bad credit, we successfully placed the mortgage.  We completed all the mortgage paperwork with the customers, help with the solicitors and the family have now completed and moved into their new home.

Having previously rented, they are now paying their own mortgage with the assistance of the Help to Buy scheme.

From the very first contact through (what was a complex and hugely frustrating conveyancing process), to the day of completion, Oak Mortgages were the shining light that got us through. Sarah and her team were brilliant. They were responsive, caring, empathetic, knowledgeable, professional, and human at each and every stage. We are so grateful that we used Sarah and Oak Mortgages and highly recommend them to anyone wanting to guarantee that authentic, trustworthy approach from professionals who care. A top class act - 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to Abby and the admin team at Oak Mortgages who have been fantastic in helping me secure a remortgage on my property. From my first phone call to Abby I was filled with confidence and the experience with the team was brilliant, especially when other companies involved were not so brilliant the Oak Mortgage team pulled out all the stops to make sure completion happened. I would highly recommend this company and will use their services in the future. Thank you again.
