Wasted my time. Beware.

1
My second review for these people. After an initial experience of a friendly and helpful service, it all went down hill rapidly. Firstly if you want to remortgage within the next three months this probably isn't for you because of their lead times. But more importantly be prepared to spend hours sourcing reams of documents for them only to be told that you're not eligible for reasons that they could easily have asked you about at the start. Wasted my time. Couldn't explain their illogical decision making processes and with appalling redress. AVOID. Reviewed on: 29th May 2024
