We contacted Kevin and the team in First Rate last year when we were beginning our journey to try and buy a property. At every step of the way we received fantastic guidance and advice. They have been so easy to work with, always prompt and friendly. We have just gotten keys to our first home and we couldn't be happier! I would highly recommend the team. They made the whole process so much easier. Thanks Kevin and all the team at First Rate.

First rate should be everyone’s first choice! Kevin and his team are superb, very knowledgeable, patient and reassuring all the time, we knew we had found the right Brokers when 6 different people recommended First rate mortgages to us. Overall 10/10, they’re the right team if you want a stress free journey 🙏

Kevin & the team go above and beyond to make the process as stress free as possible. Ongoing engagement, clear communication and real-time responses/support being key. Their online portal for uploading the initial documentation is clear to understand and user friendly, and the team are there to support...when you make the occasional mistake!! Would highly recommend!!
