Above and beyond service as usual from…
Above and beyond service as usual from Yogesh and Pratik, that’s why I always use these guys.
Positive experience every time
Garry is fantastic and my partner and I highly recommend him. He is so professional, knowledgable and non judgemental. Looking for a first time mortgage with poor credit was daunting at first but he put us at ease and was supportive and helpful throughout and even after the process! Garry was recommended by a friend initially and this is the second time we have used him and the Finance Advice Centre. Considering our current and previous experience with both Garry and the Finance Advice Centre we will definitely be returning customers and will continue recommending them both.
Absolutely outstanding service
Absolutely outstanding service.
Kia Moulds was amazing from start to finish of my remortgage process. I had a few doubts, concerns and numerous questions about the remortgage but Kia’s calm reassurance, knowledge and unwavering professionalism ensured I secured my new deal.
I would without hesitation highly recommend Kia to anyone that is about to go through this process, I can honestly say my application was in Kia’s safe capable hands, nothing was too much trouble she worked above and beyond being available with any concerns or issues I had along the way. I honestly did not think I would get such an amazing mortgage deal but Kia worked her magic and I am honestly over the moon and very appreciative of Kia’s expertise. Thank you so much!
Great advice and support
Gary helped me in a difficult time to secure the best possible mortgage for my age and circumstances
He listened to me talked me through the process and checked in on me regularly
Great service I would highly recommend his services
Slick and quick! No barrier too big.
Due to my property portfolio, I have a fair share of experience when it comes to mortgages. PRIOR TO Financial Advice Centre (FAC), I have had very negative, frustrating and financially impacting experiences. With too many hoops to jump through, lazy staff, additional paperwork, etc - some mortgage applications took up to six months to complete. Due to this, I changed my broker and solicitor from FAC’s recommended list. It has been a pleasure to witness what a broker should do to get these applications over the line. I had Steven Hatton looking after my case; the man is brilliant. He Chased everyone and everything daily to keep momentum. Steven was also extremely patient, presented me with several options, and kept me up to date, day by day at times, with new and better rates. Once all decisions were finalised, the mortgage flew through to completion in a matter of weeks. I can’t thank Steven and FAC enough, and will definitely be using them again.
Scott has been the most helpful of all…
Scott has been the most helpful of all the mortgage advisors I have spoken to in the last 12 months!!! I was told no by sooooo many! After an awful divorce I was desperate to be able to move on and buy a house for me and my children but it didn't seem possible ... When I went back to Scott he went above and beyond to help me and was able to find me a lender - I am so grateful!!!!
Fantastic service and continues to support me now through the process of my house purchase, can't recommend enough seriously!!!
Garry Smith - absolutely fantastic service!
Garry put our mind at ease throughout the whole process end to end. There was no question too big or small!
Garry was on the other end of the phone anytime we needed him or wanted clarity - absolutely cannot fault any aspect of his service I strongly recommend him to anyone regardless of your current situation!
Not only has the process been smooth throughout the aftercare and check ins have been so reassuring and have turned what I thought would be a daunting and extremely stressful process into something much more enjoyable!
Thankyou Garry for helping us achieve a dream we thought was out of reach - I genuinely believe we couldn’t have done it without you! 11/10 service 🌟

Helpful and caring
Garry Smith helped me through my journey to get a mortgage. He helped me during a complex journey where he showed detail to attention. If it wasn’t for Garry I would still be searching for a lender. He cares and gives his all for your needs. He is always in contact and has the experience to fulfil your mortgage needs. I would recommend Garry Smith to anyone who needs a mortgage!
