Spoke to an incredibly helpful lady who assisted me with altering my address, and gave reassurance about how and when I will remortgage. I felt anxious about calling as I only completed on Monday and have never had a mortgage. She was fab, and I didn’t feel nervous at all. Reviewed on: 13th June 2025

Today I phoned again and Louise Taylor answered the phome and thank goodness was extremely helpful and was able to help me. Reviewed on: 11th June 2025
