Purchasing first home.

How has Kirsty Dudek helped you?

Kirsty was faultlessly helpful from beginning to end of the process. We had a property fall through and Kirsty kept us calm throughout, advised us on what to do going forward. Kirsty and her team assisted throughout so attentively you’d think they were solely dedicated to you rather than having many people to help. Considering we’d been warned about the stress of purchasing, Kirsty and her team took every bit of this away from us. Kept us aware of what we needed to do, what stages we were at, checked in frequently. We have now been in our property for 3 months after reserving back in November, and I cannot fault the service lavender mortgages provided.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, we have been in our property for 3 months now.

What could they have done better?

Faultless.

Kirsty:

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so pleased to hear that you have been happy with the support Kirsty and team have provided throughout your home-buying journey. It’s wonderful to know that we could help make the process smooth and stress-free for you. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and it’s great to hear that our efforts made a positive difference. Enjoy your new home, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any further assistance in the future!

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

When we began our search for a mortgage advisor, we were overwhelmed by the complexities of the home-buying process. We needed someone who could guide us through the financial maze, explain the jargon, and help us make informed decisions. Kirsty came highly recommended, and she exceeded our expectations. Her ability to simplify complex concepts and patiently address our questions put us at ease. We felt confident that we were in capable hands

How has Kirsty Dudek helped you?

Kirsty went above and beyond to ensure a smooth experience. She meticulously reviewed our financial situation, assessed our needs, and presented tailored mortgage options. Her attention to detail and proactive communication kept us informed at every step. Whether it was explaining interest rates, negotiating terms, or assisting with paperwork, Kirsty was there for us. Her personalised approach made us feel valued as clients.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Thanks to Kirsty’s guidance, we secured a mortgage that aligned perfectly with our goals. The interest rate was competitive, and the terms were favorable. We are now proud homeowners, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Kirsty’s expertise turned our dream into reality.

What could they have done better?

While Kirsty’s overall performance was exceptional, there is always room for growth. Perhaps more frequent updates during certain stages of the process would have eased our anxiety especially during the waiting period where conveyancing solicitors were reviewing our application.

Kirsty:

Thank you, Thomson, for taking the time to leave us such a great review. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to enhance our client support. We hope you are settling in well and look forward to working with you again. Please don't hesitate to reach out should you need any further advice.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

I was looking for a mortgage to move my current property to a buy-to-let

How has Kirsty Dudek helped you?

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kirsty to secure a mortgage for a property, and I must say, their service was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, they exhibited a level of knowledge and dedication that truly set them apart. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Kirsty at Lavender Mortgages was their unwavering commitment to finding solutions. Despite encountering obstacles along the way, they never gave up. When others said it couldn't be done, they explored alternative options, including the top slicing option, which ultimately made all the difference.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I was particularly impressed by their willingness to go above and beyond to ensure success. On one occasion, they spent hours chasing a lender on the phone, determined to push through any barriers in the way. Their persistence paid off, and thanks to their efforts, we were able to secure the mortgage we needed.

What could they have done better?

They are just brilliant - nothing to advise

Kirsty:

Your detailed and kind review, Oladapo, is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We value your feedback immensely. Wishing you the very best, and remember, we're here whenever you need advice. We look forward to working with you again in the future.

There is nothing more Kirsty could have done for us, Kirsty was always on the end of the phone to answer all my stupid questions and put our minds at ease all the way through the process. We found ourselves in expert hands and the whole process was made as easy as it could have been. We are truly thankful and extremely pleased with the way Kirsty handled our case.

We initially used Kirsty to buy our first home, and have had to remortgage since. Our other friends had used Kirsty before and recommended her, they couldn’t praise her enough. We decided to go with Kirsty from their review. and we’re so glad we did

How has Kirsty Dudek helped you?

Kirsty helped us get our first mortgage and recently helped us remortgage when the % rates had gone up. We’ve been really stung, but Kirsty has done everything she can to find us the best deals and keep the % down for us. We have altered things where we can, and although our payments now aren’t ideal, they could have been much worse if Kirsty and her team weren’t on it.
