I used this mortgage adviser service as a first-time buyer, and overall I had a positive experience. The adviser Scott Keenan took the time to understand my circumstances and recommended a mortgage product that was well suited to my financial position and home-buying goals. They also successfully secured a mortgage offer, and the entire process was completed within the timeframe they initially committed to. However, there were a couple of areas where the service could be improved. The adviser was not aware that some lenders do not accept gifted deposits from outside the UK. Unfortunately, this led to my initial mortgage application being rejected, causing delays and additional stress during the process. Communication could also have been better, as there were periods where I received very few updates and was left unsure about the status of my application. Despite these issues, the team (Scott Keenan & Mcdonald Donald) ultimately delivered the desired outcome and helped me secure my mortgage on time. With better lender knowledge and more proactive communication, the service would have been excellent.

Kirsty and Donald made getting a new mortgage so easy. I was so worried about this process and from beginning to end it was so simple and Kirsty really put me at ease at my first appointment. I was nervous about getting a remortgage after a divorce but she took all the worry off my shoulders instantly. I would 100% recommended First Mortgage for anyone! Thank you again for everything!

Me and my partner were initially nervous about going in to start the process of buying our first home, however after visiting First Mortgage, our concerns suddenly disappeared. The process from start to finish was explained to us in an easy to understand manner, and no question was looked down on, even if we thought it sounded irrelevant. Scott and Donald worked with me and my partner during the whole process of getting our home, and they couldn’t have done a better job if they tried. They made us feel confident, enthusiastic and allowed us to go through the process anxiety free. There was always contact to keep us up to date with anything we needed to know regarding documentation, updates on the process and if there was anything required from us to keep the everything smooth and fast. I couldn’t recommend First Mortgage enough to people who are looking to purchase their first home, or even anything else that they could help with. Once again, thank you to Scott and Donald for helping us purchase our first home.

I went to first mortgage to help me purchase my first home as they had been recommended by a friend. They were absolutely fantastic. Both Scott Keenan (mortgage advisor) and Donald MacDonald (relationships manager) answered all questions I had throughout what can be a very daunting process and they were so helpful and friendly. They also responded very quickly to any queries and were flexible when I needed to rearrange an appointment last minute. I recommend First Mortgage to anyone looking to buy a home! Thank you

Kirsty and Samantha at First Mortgage were so helpful and couldn’t be more grateful to have worked with them on securing our mortgage. As first time buyers they really took the time to explain the process and put us at ease. The online upload portal is so helpful so you know exactly what you need to provide. They were always quick to reply and I’m confident got us the best possible mortgage offer. Thank you Kirsty & Samantha!
