Sheila Blacklaw

Sheila has been our family mortgage broker for many years now and whether it be BTL/Resi, she has always gone above and beyond when handling our mortgages. It's been a pleasure dealing with Sheila and her personality/tenacity is the reason I wouldn't look for another broker

Professional and efficient

I was completed unfamiliar with the mortgage process in the UK, but I was introduced to Sheila through a friend. She was extremely professional and efficient. Initially, I felt overwhelmed by the whole process of buying a prperty and applying for a mortgage, but with Sheila's help, everything became clear and manageable.

Mortgage success thanks to Sheila

I had a great experience working with Sheila. She made the whole mortgage process so much easier and was super helpful every step of the way. One thing I really appreciated was how reassuring Sheila was, especially when I wasn’t sure if what I had was good enough. Sheila explained everything clearly to make me confident moving forward.

It was also really easy to get in touch — any time I had a question (even the small ones), Sheila was quick to respond and happy to help. The whole process felt much less stressful thanks to her support. I'd definitely recommend Sheila Blacklaw to anyone looking for help with a mortgage!

Sheila has been amazing

Sheila has been amazing since day one. She really cares about her clients and maintain regular communications. She is a problem solver- although there were some issues with the lender and the documentation required she managed very well and got me the loan offer very quickly. I highly recommend Sheila for a first time buyer.

Competitive Rates with great customer sercvice

We used WCTM twice recently for a remortgage and the second for a BLT. In both cases the service was faultless. When we needed to chase the bank or the Estate Agent we went through Ashley as it saved us a lot of time. The base service was of course why we went with WCTM, they managed to secure the most competitive mortgage/ remortgage rate in the market. We initially spoke with three brokers and WCTM were the most competitive.

Ashley’s knowledge and attention to detail is excellent.
He’ll listen to what you want, give you his advise and then get you the best deal. I wouldn’t use anyone else.

I was recommended Ashley by my property…

I was recommended Ashley by my property manager, I can’t thank him enough! Not only did Ashley point out that my existing mortgage provider was not operating efficiently for me, he found an alternative which literally halved my monthly payments. And this all came back to me in double quick time. Ashley has an immense knowledge of the entire market and he is very pleasant to deal with indeed. I would recommend him to anyone and use him again myself!

Excellent Mortgage Broker

I have recommended Ashley numerous times to friends, family and clients. Secured two excellent mortgages myself and rate him very highly. Personable, experienced and with his business built on relationships, he goes the extra mile. Getting the best rates with the best service matters to him.

Ashley is a particularly rare breed.

Ashley is a particularly rare breed.
He has immense market knowledge and experience.
That isn’t what makes him particularly rare.
In the often murky world he inhabits his personal integrity is a stand out characteristic. That is what makes him rare.
But what makes him particularly rare is that it a fact that he puts his clients interests first and he clearly understands that long term enduring relationships are paramount.
He has engendered my loyalty and respect. I will not use anyone else.

A very happy customer

I was extremely happy with the level of service provided by Ashley who was our broker for our recent mortgage application- we were remortgaging our property and converting from a residential mortgage to a buy to let, and his level of knowledge and experience was really helpful to us in finding the right mortgage lender and mortgage deal for our situation. Ashley was also on hand throughout to ensure a smooth process. We were relatively time-constrained due to all the increases in mortgage rates, and Ashley helped things move along quickly to ensure the deal was completed on time. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a broker!
