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…
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.

Warm friendly service. Helpful and efficient in calculating affordable costs. Gillian looked at my over all outgoings and suggested some changes that might benefit my cash flow. Thank to her and Kate. I have been a customer since I first bought my flat an d have always received excellent advice and service.
Quick & Easy process overall
Quick & Easy process overall. Both Kelly and David have been very kind and explained us everything we needed to know and ensured everything went smoothly.
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.
Excellent service
I completed a remortgage organised by Sean, and was supported through the process by Sophie. They were both extremely helpful, and patient! Would recommend First Mortgage and will definitely use again in the future .
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!

Great Service - thanks Chris!
Excellent service and advice from Chris throughout the whole mortgage process. He was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and always took the time to make sure we understood our options. We really felt that he had our best interests in mind when providing advice and helping us through the process. Would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor.
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!

Great service for a first time buyer
Very helpful, great service and very good communication about every aspect of the mortgage and moving process. Constantly checking in with both myself and the solicitors which was very much appreciated.
perfect service
absolutely outstanding work from the team at First Mortgage. I had the pleasure of being assisted by Cameron and Nicola who helped me secure funding within 3 days of applying and explained the process very well and clearly. Could not fault one step and would highly recommend First Mortgage to anyone dealing with a mortgage.

First Mortgage in Tollcross have been…
First Mortgage in Tollcross have been excellent. I am not from the UK and had a portion of my deposit coming from overseas which complicated matters. Stuart and Marica were so incredibly helpful and provided lots of updates and despite getting rejected from one mortgage application I was approved and got a better rate than expected. I am now settled into my first place and thrilled to no longer have to pay rent.
