Michael was brilliant from the start. Discussed a few different options I could go for, along with pricing information and pros and cons for each option. He was interested in my views and worked things out to suit my best interest.
I couldn’t recommend him enough.

Buying through RMS Hexham and dealing with Leah
Leah was efficient and a great communicator explaining things clearly and keeping me updated. Importantly she was always quick to respond to queries or messages. I can’t see how she could improve to be honest!

Rook Matthew’s Sayer in Gosforth…
Rook Matthew’s Sayer in Gosforth couldn’t have done more for me during the sale of my parents bungalow, my parents are living in a care home and the process has been made so much easier by RMS and especially Natalie Best who went above and beyond to help me with all of the form filling and solicitors questions, I couldn’t have done this without her.
I would recommend RMS in Gosforth to anyone, all of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

Alistair Bowman
We have recently completed our mortgage renewal and once again the experience was smooth, straightforward and completely stress free. A very special thank you goes to Alistair Bowman, who has supported us for more than ten years now. Throughout that time we have never had any issues.
Alistair is always available to answer questions, no matter how small, and he explains everything clearly and patiently. He is highly approachable, genuinely reassuring, and consistently professional in every interaction. We always feel confident that we are receiving honest advice that is tailored to our circumstances.
After over a decade of using his services, we would not hesitate to recommend him. His reliability, knowledge and commitment to his clients truly stand out.

Michael Storey – Mortgage Broker at Rook Matthews Sayer – Ryton.
I couldn’t fault anything. Being a first time buyer the process explained to me was straight forward, he explained it in ways that I could understand- which was very helpful
What made it more pleasant was they respected the fact that I work nights and they would contact me at certain times when I wasn’t asleep
Definitely highly recommend!

Alistair Bowman - Ashington branch
We used Alistair Bowman from the Ashington branch to sort our mortgage out. He made it all go as smoothly and stress free as possible. Even when he was on holiday from work he would say to message him if there was anything we needed. We’ll definitely be going to him again for all mortgage related queries.
