What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
We are first time buyers, one of whom is self employed and we were also trying to avoid Stamp Duty despite a short timeframe to work with. Not only were we unaware of the processes and looking for guidance, but we were also struggling to navigate the complexities of finding willing lenders for self employed individuals during the pandemic.
How has Stewart Douglas helped you?
After taking his time to understand our current circumstances and needs, Stewart essentially automated the process of obtaining a mortgage offer for us from start to finish. Stewart kept us informed at all stages, taking the time to explain our options and preparing us for the next steps of the application in an incredibly efficient manner. Stewart fought our case when the lenders came back with lower offers than expected - something that we would not have been able to do without his help. Stewart also succesfully helped and advised us on how best to complete the purchase in time to avoid Stamp Duty - something we are incredibly grateful for. In addition to this, Stewart had a brilliant manner. He is incredibly friendly, personable and invests time in his clients to ensure they are fully aware of the process and the steps required to get a mortgage.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
We couldn't have asked for a better outcome and are so thankful for Stewarts help. He supported us throughout, was always happy to pick up the phone to answer any of our queries, secured us a great mortgage offer when many lenders wouldn't even consider self-employed applications, got us a great interest rate, and also helped us to avoid Stamp Duty costs! Stewart really made what should have been the most complex part of purchasing a property so straightforward and stress-free.
What could they have done better?
There's nothing which Stewart could have done better for us! We would highly recommend Stewart to anyone looking to obtain a mortgage - it was the best decision we made.

How has Stewart Douglas helped you?
Stewart helped in more than one way. We provided our financial details to him, so that he could assess our current situation, and be able to explain what the best options would be for us in obtaining a new mortgage term with a lender. He provided all the relevant, important information in an orderly manner, making it very simple and easy to understand. His knowledge of the current market and the types of mortgages that were available to us was very useful to know. I have been very impressed with the way he showed great professionalism in his work, he was always on time when phone call arrangements were made, (even though I let him down a couple of times). Provided alternative dates/times where needed and always kept us updated on a regular basis making sure we were up to date with the process of our case. Cannot fault the service that Stewart and his team have provided. It’s been highly appreciated.
