I had a remortgage which took longer than expected. This could of been anyones fault who was invovled. I never heard (tel call) from anyone apart from brokers until completion was sorted. Reviewed on: 20th February 2017

Nicky Donahue (Branch manager at Redcar) was a star. She did all she could to progress our applicationtion and support our purchase. We can’t think any more highly of her! Reviewed on: 18th February 2017
