Peter was so helpful with my mortgage application and very generous with his time. He really took the time to explain everything and answer all my questions. He also helped me with some income protection cover and was extremely thorough when taking me through all the available options. I never felt like I was being sold to, it was very much tailored to me and my needs.

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

It was my first time buying a property, so i was starting with almost no knowledge of what i needed or how any of it worked.

How has Peter Baldacchino helped you?

Peter helped me by going over in detail the process, what i needed, what my options where, the terminogogly and the relivant risks that there might be. He was able to talk over points and sections where i was unsure, in a manner and with language that was easy to understand, meaning i was confident in my new understand in everything i wanted to know. He then helped me find a range of good mortgage options/offers, we worked together to pick the one that would fit me best and talked over the reasons that was the case. After this he helped scure the offer and kept in contact during the process if i was to need further help. He also provided help sucuring critical illness cover, something i knew i little bit about, but he was able to give a comprehensive break down of all the info i needed and scured my a great policy that covers all my wants and needs, if the worst cases occur.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

The outcome has been better than I could of asked for, the whole process was smooth, reassuring and the least stressful part of the whole house buying process (from my experience). I got a good product, great support and I now own my home.

Further, Peter was quick to respond to my questions and questions from the potential lenders. It meant that the whole process, from application to Offer in Principal was completed in a matter of days, with the final mortgage offer received within a week. I couldn't have hoped for a faster turn around.

I cannot reccomend Peter at high street mortgages enough. As first time buyers we had no idea what to expect but Peter went into detail about all of our mortgage options and explained what to expect from the process. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable and was always happy to awnser any questions (there were many!) we had. Throughout our house buying journey Peter was the only professional who went above and beyond to help us and make our experience as easy as possible. He listened to all of our needs and found us a fantastic mortgage that suits us wonderfully. We will be back in contact when we eventually buy our next property and will be reccomending him to anyone who needs mortgage advise! ? 5*

I am a first time buyer and needed advice on how to secure the maximum amount possible on a mortgage. I needed this to take into account my entire income (including bonuses etc). This was made more difficult due to the coronavirus pandemic impacting lending by the banks.

How has Peter Baldacchino helped you?

Peter was fantastic and found me a mortgage that would allow me to purchase my "stretch" property. He was very helpful, friendly and transparent, keeping me updated throughout via phone calls and email. He even kindly checked in with me on the day I completed. I did speak to a few other mortgage advisors when I started my search and all of them were slow or never followed up with me. But Peter was excellent and you get a great, more personal service!

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I am now moved in to my first property and am very grateful to Peter for helping me secure the mortgage. The mortgage offer came through in under a week, which is much faster than we all expected. The mortgage was actually the least stressful part of my purchase process!

What could they have done better?

Nothing - the whole process was great.

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

We were planning to buy our first home.

How has Peter Baldacchino helped you?

We found Peter through one of the websites where you can request a financial advisor. We were in the process of starting to look for our first home and we had no clue about mortgages or generally the process. We met Peter for a general chat to talk through options which really helped us figure out what we could afford and when. By the time it came to make our offer Peter had got our mortgage in principle sorted out so we were in a good position to be accepted. He then carefully and clearly talked us through the full application process and successfully got us our first mortgage. Unfortunately the purchase fell through and our mortgage expired by the time we finally got round to finding somewhere else but Peter, again, had all the patience in the world for us and successfully got us another mortgage with HSBC. Throughout the whole process Peter explained all the terms we didn't understand, the benefits of fixed rates and all the other jargon that can be overwhelming for buying your first home. When the second attempt at buying came into difficulties Peter was also helpful in discussing our options. We couldn't have asked for a better mortgage advisor, we came away feeling confident we'd get the right deal but also with more knowledge of what we were signing up for.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, we successfully obtained our mortgage and moved into our first home in December 2017.

What could they have done better?

Honestly, there wasn't anything that Peter could have done better. He was always available to chat when we needed him or informative of us when he would be away so we always had a clear idea of contact availability. Even when the purchase was taking a long time he'd periodically check in just to see how things were going. He was clear and precise about our options and educated us on all the jargon and terms we were unfamiliar with.
