initially i spoke with jake while i was looking to purchase a residential home, he looked after me and advised what options were best fit to the criteria i presented.

How has Jake Guymer helped you?

helped me secure the best mortgage possible for a residential purchase - he is now advising me more around a buy to let purchase which ill hopefully make in the next 6-12 months and he has already talked and walked me through facts and figures which would be key to know, so i am well prepared when the time comes.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

its not really an outcome i was looking for, he got the best rates and time frames for me from the requirements i presented

What could they have done better?

nothing - unless he has the power to effect the national interest rates.... then nothing at all. 10/10 service, due care and attention to detail
