Gordon and Scott were excellent mortgage advisors. They were professional, friendly, and made the whole mortgage process clear and straightforward. They were always happy to answer questions and provided helpful advice throughout. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable mortgage advice.
Brilliant experience.
Isabella and Harry have been absolutely brilliant. They made the whole mortgage experience so stress free. We couldn't be happier.

We had a great experience with first mortgage. As first time buyers the entire process seemed very overwhelming and stressful. However when we spoke to Jennifer Duffy she made us feel completely at ease and lead us through the full process. I think using first mortgage as a service is a no brainer and couldn’t recommend them enough.
First Mortgage Broughty Ferry (10/10)
Me and my partner were recommended this branch by family from the great service they received when buying their first home.
We went to Lisa and Andrea at The First mortgage Broughty Ferry Branch To move onto a new fixed rate. We received an amazing service all around and cannot recommend them enough. The communication and information was consistent throughout the process keeping us informed and up to date on the best rates available. When our new rate comes to end we will be back definitely.

I had a fantastic experience with First Mortgage at the Leith branch and couldn’t recommend them highly enough. The whole process was made so much easier thanks to the excellent service and support I received throughout.
Kenny and Kirsty were both absolutely brilliant. They were friendly, professional, knowledgeable and always happy to answer any questions I had. They kept me updated throughout the process and made what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable.
I really appreciated how approachable and supportive they both were, and I always felt like I was in safe hands.
I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for help with their mortgage.
Great service
Joanne and Kirsty made the whole process really easy. Joanne gave sound advice regarding products and kept us up to date at all times. Both Joanne and Kirsty were easy to reach either by phone or email. All in all the process was highly efficient and stress free. Highly recommend.
Great customer experience
Great customer experience. My mortgage broker was excellent in his service and very knowlegable. Took time to explain the process to me and provided informed advise which help me in decision making.
Very happy with service provided
Top service
Top service, completed last month and all went smoothly from initial mortgage offer right through to the end, they made regular check-ins throughout the process to put your mind at ease and gave plenty of referrals for other parts of the first-time buying experience if you're stuck or unsure. Would definitely recommend, it's actually a no-brainer considering they are free to use.
Thank you especially to Fern, Simeon and Liam for their help throughout.

Excellent service from Fern and the First Mortgage team
I had a very positive experience with First Mortgage throughout the purchase of my first home. Fern was very helpful, professional and supportive throughout the mortgage process.
There were a number of stages and changes during the purchase, including a change to the agreed property price which required my mortgage offer to be amended. Fern and the team helped deal with the lender and kept the process moving so that everything could be completed successfully.
As a first-time buyer, there were times when I needed clarification or reassurance about the process, and Fern was always approachable and willing to assist with my questions.
I am very happy to have now completed the purchase of my home and would like to thank Fern and everyone at First Mortgage who helped make it possible.
I would happily recommend their service to other first-time buyers.

Poor from start to finish. Avoid
Poor customer service, poor communication and completely misleading. We had a poor experience from start to finish with this company. They appear sound and serious but do not be fooled. Avoid them completely. In particular, we had a poor experience with Oliver Andresen, Barry Rummings and Miguel Somoza. Oliver in particular failed to get back to us in good time for weeks on end. Always scheduled a call with us to basically tell us our application had not progressed. Every single call was useless. His colleagues were also totally unhelpful. This went on for several weeks. It got to the point where we were chased repeatedly by the estate agents and our solicitors about whether the property purchase was still proceeding because we were waiting for details from Oliver and the first mortgage team. Thankfully we found a significantly better broker who doesn't miss any detail and is committed to seeing your purchase close successfully. Read the low reviews and believe them. Do not fall for the 5* ratings, they are likely fluffed up. In the end, we were pushed to raise a formal complaint with this company and had to wait till the end of the next day for a below poor response from oliver despite the escalation. In any line of business, escalations should be treated as a priority and replied to within an hour at least confirming receipt. Poor all around and would never recommend. Avoid!
It was a wonderful experience

Abby & Sharon were a great help in getting our mortgage fixed for a length of time that suited us! Will be asking for their help with mortgages in the future!
Positive remortgaging guidance
I have had really positive experience of First Mortgage in Corstorphine with assistance from John Elliot and Anna McIntyre. each appointment has been helpful and efficient and I have already recommended them to a family member.
Good service
Good service, a lot of recommendations and explanations, fast application.
Great experience
I first went to the Dunfermline Branch 2 years ago for my first mortgage and then again for my remortgage this year. Everyone I came in contact with - from Kevin Hamill, who processed my first mortgage, to Kelly Strachan and Victoria Hunter, who provided support with my remortgage - was incredibly professional and knowledgeable and gave me clear advice without making me feel pushed towards any one option. With their friendly approach they made me feel very comfortable and I would absolutely recommend First Mortage!
