Looking for a mortgage.

How has Chris Atherton helped you?

Chris has helped in more ways than we could ever imagine! He spent time talking us through the whole process at every stage as we were first time buyers and did not have a clue where to start! There was a bump in the road through someone else within the process which Chris communicated with us and the party at fault to get this rectified. Even since making payment, Chris continues to offer us lots of advice in regards to insurance and cover at no extra cost.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, house purchase went through perfectly.

I do not say this lightly when I say Chris could not have done anything more for us. His service and care in which he took with us was to the highest standard and we feel it would take ridiculous amount of work for anyone wanting to match the way he treated and continues to treat us. We have already recommended him to family who are looking to purchase.
