Scott Taylor-Barr

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

As a prospective first-time buyer, I looked for a mortgage adviser and insurance/income protection adviser.

How has Scott Taylor-Barr helped you?

Scott has been amazing from the outset. He is always approachable and gives his time willingly. He provides clear and pragmatic advice and carefully assists the client through a complex and difficult process. Through Scott's services, I've been able to secure a good mortgage offer, especially with unideal criteria, and well-matched insurance products. Scott and Jeanette are not only great advisors, but lovely people to work with.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Whilst I am approaching final stages for my property purchase, so far I've been able to achieve the outcomes I set out to achieve at the outset, particularly in terms of getting a good mortgage offer and insurance cover.

Scott has always found me the best products for my situation. He even took the time to point me in the right direction for a trusted medical insurance broker, even though he would gain nothing from that particular referral.

His experience dealing with other barristers was invaluable. He was able to identify the right product for me by a close examination of our personal circumstances.

How has Scott Taylor-Barr helped you?

Scott provided advice and obtained us a remortgage

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes

What could they have done better?

Nothing

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

We were looking to see if we could get a better mortgage deal, and friends recommended a company, which Scott was a part of. Over the years since we've known him, it feels as though Scott has almost become a family member, and someone who you can talk to with perhaps money worries, and he'll point you in the right direction, and come up with a plan to help.

How has Scott Taylor-Barr helped you?

His advice has been clear and concise. I don't like long explanations, it confuses issues. More recently, several times, he has contacted me, to say the mortgage rate has changed for the better, and that he'd applied for that deal. For me, that's good client service.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, because it means I know exactly what will be coming out each month. And budgeting is difficult at the best of times. It means that now I'm on my last 5 years of mortgage, I can see how much I can over-pay to reduce monthly payments, with a view to completing it early.

What could they have done better?

I miss that face to face in-person contact, but we have had 'face-time' contact for this final arrangement. So not all bad. Other than that, which is perhaps trivial, there's nothing, u believe, he could have done better.

He found us the best 5 year mortgage deal with the best rate possible and constantly reviewed it for us in the months leading up to our deal at the time ending to make sure it was the best for us.

Scott also reviewed our insurances and protection and sorted us out with some policies that gave us better cover.

How has Scott Taylor-Barr helped you?

Scott was brilliant from the beginning - he offered lots of advice and found me some good options for both my new residential mortgage and my buy-to-let mortgage on my other property. Also, when there was a mix-up with the mortgage lender the day before completion, he worked really hard to help get it resolved so I still managed to complete the following week.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, I am now moved and settled into my new home and have my buy-to-let property all sorted and tenanted.

What could they have done better?

Nothing - communication was excellent, he's super knowledgable and he went out of his way to help when things went wrong through no fault of his.
