Excellent remortgage appointment with Luke Pummell

I had a remortgage appointment. Beforehand I was a little confused as to what the change would do and if it would impact negatively but I was reassured brilliantly by Luke Pummell. He was very clear, concise and make it clear in my head what my remortgage rate would be and the what the changes would mean for me. He gave excellent and informative advice and put me at ease. He was also very friendly and we had a good chat about the rugby happening that same day. He emailed me all the information and I am very satisfied with the service. Excellent all round!
