Needing to revisit life insurance cover whilst remortgaging.

How has Cain Stennett helped you?

We had a fixed rate mortgage product which had come to an end. We also felt under insured from a life and CI perspective and had a couple of policies which weren't well structured for us. Over a period of a year, Cain advised us on a the most flexible temporary solution for our mortgage and kept us appraised of the market. When the time was right and we had clarity on our requirements, he found us a great deal to meet our complex requirements. On our life and CI products, he gave us a very pragmatic route to achieving the cover we needed, whilst managing our monthly premiums.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, I believe we've got the right products for us and Cain was willing to be patient and flexible. He didn't pressure us into taking a new product at any time and was prepared to be at the end of the phone for advice as things changed. It felt like a calm and thorough experience, and much better than the experience I've had dealing directly with lenders.

I needed to apply for an additional mortgage to purchase a 2-bedroomed apartment in Weymouth, Dorset and did not quite have enough after selling my 4-bedroomed house and my half-share to apply for a mortgage.

How has Cain Stennett helped you?

Cain, after researching my needs, advised me to go ahead with a Lifetime - or Equity Release - type of mortgage as I am a pensioner and just living off my employer's civil service pension, so was not able to apply for a standard mortgage and he explained how this type of mortgage would work for me

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Not completed yet - due to the delays regarding the Covid-19 virus emergency and all relevant parties being in lock-down, including estate agents and solicitors - therefore having to work from home, etc, so the conveyancing for this new purchase may drag on for another 1-2 months, until normal services are reassumed in the UK

What could they have done better?

Nothing Cain could have done any better

To be honest, I don't believe on this occasion there is anything he could have done better. He responded very quickly to calls / emails - that's one thing that can bug me when people don't, he never over promised and always kept me in the loop with what was happening. I couldn't recommend Cain more. He was fantastic and I am really grateful for all his help.

I had used Bigmore Associates over the years for rearranging my mortgage as and when it had come to the end of it's fixed term arrangement. I was then left with a small mortgage and needed to release some money in order to enjoy my retirement! This was when I contacted Adam Bigmore who put me onto Cain Stennett.

Right from the start, Cain was helpful and patient, explaining everything in layman's terms so I could understand what was happening! His communicating skills were perfect and very professional en every way. Cannot fault the service I was given.
