Obtaining a mortgage aged 70.

I returned to this country from Australia in January this year, I wanted to buy my own place. A friend recommended Peter Cook as a mortgage consultant. I contacted Peter and set the process rolling. I thought it was going to be harder than it was. Peter led me by the hand through every step of the process. This enabled me a person who is 70 years of age to get a mortgage and restart his life. I will be forever grateful to Peter Cook. Reviewed on: 9th July 2024
