 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Unexpectedly had to source a small mortgage to complete a house purchase. We contacted Oak Mortgages to explain we were under prepared to start mortgage applications but they put in alot of leg work and employed the full use of their team to source the best value, conditions and terms that fit our situation. Contact was prompt and informative, with all questions answered and investigated with patience and clarity. The team were very empathetic and took on a level of customer care I didn't expect from a mortgage broker. Whether it was over the phone or by email, all information was presented and explained in the best way for us to make an informed decision on what we were buying and agreeing to. The team continue to provide that care even after mortgage offer is accepted and purchases are complete, and I look forward to speaking to them again in the future as they monitor mortgage rates and endeavour to advise what are the best options available going forward.

Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish. They’re the only mortgage brokers I use, and for good reason. The level of service, professionalism and dedication is second to none.

Nothing is ever too much trouble, communication is excellent, and they’re always on hand to answer questions, explain the process and find the best possible solutions, even when things aren’t straightforward.

With multiple property investments, it’s important to have someone knowledgeable, reliable and proactive in your corner, and that’s exactly what you get.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a mortgage, remortgage or property investment finance. They’ll certainly continue to be my go-to as I grow my property portfolio.

Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
