We needed a tricky mortgage, lots of specific things that we had to tick which many mainstream high street lenders couldn't provide for us. Our broker got us a fantastic mortgage with darlington, we are so pleased. I really hope that we can keep this mortgage to full term as they have such lovely people in the office whenever we need some advice. Reviewed on: 7th April 2025
