Great Experience at First Mortgage – Tollcross, Edinburgh Branch

Really happy with the service from FirstMortgage at the Tollcross, Edinburgh branch, especially Steven and Anna. They made the whole house-buying process feel really straightforward and seamless, and were always there to answer questions and give advice when we needed it.

They went above and beyond throughout the process and gave us great advice on a number of things along the way. Would definitely recommend Steven, Anna and the team to anyone looking for mortgage advice!

I got in touch with First Mortgage from…

I got in touch with First Mortgage from a flier someone sent to me in my search for a mortgage broker. From the very start, I met a very supportive team, Oliver and Isabella. They made it clear to me I wouldn't pay for the service as they get their commission from the lender which was exactly what happened. We had a couple of virtual meetings and I have now secured an offer from Halifax. They were transparent and I am profoundly grateful to them. Thanks a lot, guys.

I had a great experience with First…

I had a great experience with First Mortgage. Our Client Relationship Manager was Susan, she was great at ensuring we had the correct documents uploaded before our meeting with our mortgage advisor to make our application process as smooth as possible.
Julie was our mortgage advisor. She identified the correct mortgage agreement for us and set up the right mortgage and home protection policy to ensure that we wouldn't lose out if either of us became unwell or damage occurred to the property we purchased. Overall a really great experience.

Great support for 1st time buyer

I am a first time buyer with very limited knowledge about mortgages. Abby was a really great help in making sure I got sound advice and in finding me a great mortgage. Sharon made sure I knew what was required of me and they both kept me updated and helped with any queries I had quickly and smoothly which made the experience low stress and simple. The online dashboard made it easy to provide and keep track of the necessary documentation. I have had a really good experience and I'm very grateful for all their help and support.

Greg and Alasdair from the Baillieston office were very helpful when helping me re-mortgage my home. I am confident Greg got me the best deal available as even after the initial recommended offer, he came back with a better rate. They were very responsive when I had questions about the process. Would definitely recommend remortgaging through First Mortgage. Thanks again.

Brilliant service

Brilliant service. Requested an appointment and was booked in within an hour. As a first time buyer, the service took all the stress out of the process and Sean clearly had the experience and knowledge to make the best choice for my needs. From my first meeting, everything was completed in just a few days and I felt confident in the outcome. Could not recommend more highly.

Absolutely outstanding service from Molly and Stuart at the First Mortgage Dundee branch – highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As first-time buyers, we were expecting the mortgage and home-buying process to be complicated and stressful, but Molly and Stuart made the whole experience so much easier than we could ever have imagined.

From the very beginning, they were incredibly professional, friendly, approachable and, most importantly, genuinely supportive. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and whenever we had a question or needed clarification, they were always happy to help and explain things clearly.

Stuart in particular was fantastic throughout the mortgage process. He guided us through everything step by step, kept us informed, and gave us confidence whenever things became a little stressful. His knowledge, patience and attention to detail were outstanding, and we always felt that we were in very safe hands.

Molly was equally brilliant. She was always friendly, responsive and incredibly helpful whenever we needed anything. She made the whole process feel much more personal, and it was reassuring to know that there was always someone we could contact when we needed support.

Buying our first home was a huge milestone for us, and having Molly and Stuart supporting us made such a difference. They didn't just help us arrange a mortgage — they helped make what could have been a very daunting experience feel straightforward, manageable and even enjoyable.

We genuinely cannot thank them enough for everything they have done for us. They went above and beyond, and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Molly, Stuart and First Mortgage to anyone looking for mortgage advice.

Thank you both for helping us take such a huge step towards our new home! 🏡❤️

Five stars doesn't really feel like enough!

Thank you to Jo Barrass & Beverley Laverick

A massive thank you to Jo Barrass, Beverley Laverick and all the staff at the Dunston branch. We were recommended to use you from a friend and will certainly pass on our excellent service to others. From arranging our mortgage and reaccessing better rates to constant updates. The service is exceptional. As we were buying later in life and a little anxious we were made to feel at ease and supported through every step. Well done and thank you

Couldn’t recommend them enough!

We were placed with Rachael and Lianne to sort our mortgage application and building and contents insurance. For what was already a stressful experience buying our first home, both Rachael and Lianne made this part of the process a complete breeze! They were always contactable and provided us with updates without us asking, they answered all our questions promptly and even looked for better deals for us whilst the process was ongoing. We couldn’t recommend first mortgages enough, especially for first time buyers!

We had a great experience with First Mortgage. Our circumstances were slightly complicated, but the team worked hard to find the best and highest option available for us.

Everyone was brilliant and very supportive, especially Harry, our mortgage advisor. He was professional, patient and always went above and beyond to help us.

Highly recommend First Mortgage and the whole team. Thank you!
