Laura exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond to help us search for a mortgage. We originally hired a mortgage broker from a well known Wealth Management company, we weren't satisfied with mortgage rates and what they had offered so decided to pull the offer and go to Laura at Melton Building Society. She understood our urgency as the buyers had accpeted our offer and we were ready to instruct solicitors. She found exactly what we needed not only was it a quick turn around, her communication and updates really helped put us at ease (she even did this in her free time & during her annual leave) it felt like such a stressful time before going to Laura, as with previous delays we were in fear of loosing the home we were so desperate for. She managed turn a negative experience into a positive outcome. We can't thank you enough. Read more Read less

Very frustrating trying to deal with them: sent a secure message because that’s the channel I prefer because I’m busy during the day at work, yet the my insist on calling me back to discuss by phone! Left a voicemail which then meant I need to ring them and sit in a queue, when they could have just responded to my message so I could read at my convenience. Mentioned this to the advisor on the phone and she was quite defensive and couldn’t see the problem. Very old fashioned and not very customer friendly. Read more Read less

We had used a highly regarded wealth management company to search for a Buy to let mortgage to release equity against the property to fund a gifted deposit fir my daughter. She in turn requied a first time buyer mortgage with her partner. We were dissatisfied with the wealth management companies proposals from aspects of interest rates and loan values thzt didn't meet the value of a property my daughter hzd agreed to purchase.I appraached Laura Burrows with our challenges. In two stages Laura found exactly what we were looking for, an increased sum for both ourselves and my daughter and partner at a muchimproved % rate such that we met all criteria and were able to appoint solicitors to proceed with the purchase. We were in danger of losing the property due to delays with the previous wealth management company.. We can't speak highly enough of Laura, her communication, tenacity and hard work (sometimes out of hours or when on annual leave) were without doubt the reason the purchase was enabled. Laura removed all the stress, We can't thank her enough. Read more Read less

Our broker at MMS supported us through 2 different mortgage applications. Despite some unusual circumstances they were able to sort the product we wanted. I would like to thank them for pursuing the lender / complaining when we ran into issues regarding our application & solicitors. This commitment to complain enabled us to get the desired product and use our current solicitors. Read more Read less
