Recently used the Perth branch of…
Recently used the Perth branch of FirstMortgage for the second time. Paul was well prepared in advance of our meeting. He listens to what we’re looking for in our mortgage and never pushes towards any particular product. Nicole kept us informed regularly of the progress of our mortgage application. A great service again. Would highly recommend them as mortgage advisors.

Kenny and Rebecca Musselburgh
Great experience with First Mortgage. Kenny and Rebecca at Musselburgh branch were very helpful, friendly and took all the stress away and, as promised, they found the best deal and exactly what I was looking for. The whole process was very quick, communication was great, I knew were I was in the process at all times. Would highly recommend.
Cameron at the Aberdeen George Street…
Cameron at the Aberdeen George Street Branch got me my first mortgage he was very helpful and knew exactly what he was doing would highly recommend.
Josh is amazing
Josh is amazing. He patiently answers all of your questions, and my favourite part is his responsiveness—usually replying within a day to clarify issues. He has helped us twice now with our initial mortgage and our remortgage. Highly recommended!
Amazing!
I cannot express how amazing it was to use First Mortgage. I worked closely with Anthony and Yvonne who are based at the Manchester branch and they made the process of buying my first house so smooth and simple. I had a lot of anxiety along the way, and they were always fast on their responses and were even there to reassure me whenever I felt like I had no idea what was going on.
I honestly couldn’t recommend using this company more, especially as a first time buyer!
Thank you so much!
Fabulous service
I would highly recommend first mortgages for your mortgage advisor needs. We had help from Oliver and Isabella from the Bathe branch. They were super helpful and stayed professional throughout. Reassured us whenever was needed and scheduled regular meetings to talk to us about all the relevant information. I couldn’t recommend them enough :)
Couldn’t recommend enough!!
As first-time buyers, the whole mortgage process felt quite daunting to us, but John has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. He has been incredibly helpful, patient and understanding with us both, taking the time to explain everything clearly and answer all of our questions, no matter how many we had!
We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better mortgage advisor to guide us through such a big and important step in our lives. John has made the whole experience feel so much easier and has always been there whenever we needed help or reassurance.
We honestly have nothing to complain about and couldn’t recommend John highly enough. Thank you so much for all your help and patience — we really appreciate everything you’ve done for us! 🏡❤️
We would also like to say a huge thank you to Anna, for all of her help throughout our first home-buying journey.
Anna has been absolutely brilliant from the beginning. She has been so patient with me, especially with all of my random questions and the many phone calls! 😂 She has always taken the time to listen, explain things clearly and make sure we understood what was happening.
She has also been fantastic at keeping us updated throughout the process, which has made such a difference and helped make what can be quite a stressful experience feel much more manageable.
We really appreciate how supportive, approachable and patient Anna has been with us. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us through buying our first home.
Thank you so much, Anna — we really appreciate everything you’ve done for us! 🏡❤️
Excellent mortgage advice and service
Excellent mortgage advice and service. The team kept me informed throughout the process, explained everything clearly, and made securing our mortgage straightforward and stress-free. Highly recommended!
Exceptional Service!
This was our second time using First Mortgage as the first time had already went very smoothly. This time we were supported by Sean MacNeil and Sophie Ann Livingston. They both offered an exceptional service. We were offered fast appointments, everything was explained to us well, and we were made to feel at ease. Using First Mortgage has been the easiest part of the whole process and I would use them again anytime! We are very grateful for the help and that the service is free of charge to customers.
Excellent
I once again had a really excellent service from first mortgage. Sam and his team (Newington branch, Edinburgh) worked hard to get me a great deal. I had recently changed roles and income at my job and was in the process of moving to a bigger property which meant porting my existing mortgage and taking out a second product. Sam was very knowledgeable, worked efficiently and professionally (whilst being kind and patient!) to get my mortgage sorted despite it not being simple! I would have struggled without their help. Once again a 10/10 experience, I couldn’t recommend first mortgage enough!
Great experience.
Great experience.
Alison and Jennifer were on the ball. They collected all the information they needed from the start, so there was no back and forward. We had so many questions and were obviously very anxious, but they made everything as easy as possible and got it all done very quickly.
Really couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Top advice and unparalleled efficiency
I have worked with Orazio and Georgia from the Glasgow branch as a first time buyer if a slightly awkward property.
They have been absolutely top notch! Super efficient, knowledgeable of the mortgage market (and plenty of inside knowledge about particular lenders and what they are likely/unlikely to approve).
They have not stopped at securing me the best possible deal. They were there for me in times of crisis, when others (solicitors) perhaps did not show enough action. Took calls at drop of a hat despite packed schedules, and literally saved my completion date at the last minute with deadly efficiency.
Do not call any other firm! They've earned all the stars and more.
Highly recommend
Max and Yvonne have been great, and have kept me updated throughout. I would highly recommend this service, they have been helpful, attentive and provided useful advice.
100% recommend!
I could not recommend First Mortgage enough! As a first time buyer the whole process was completely unknown to us and the team were incredible. We mainly dealt with Aaron, Vicky, Charleigh and Samantha who were all amazing throughout. They always replied promptly, often the same day that I emailed and they also maintained friendly and professional. No question was too silly and they were always sure to check in with us if we were delayed in replying which really kept us on top of things. We had a bumpy road with our purchase and the First Mortgage team were one of the only companies we used where we didn’t have to worry. We will definitely use them again for any future purchases/remortgaging and we will be recommending them to everyone we know.
Fantastic service provided when buying…
Fantastic service provided when buying my first home. Cameron was excellent in helping understand all the processes needed from getting my mortgage in principle, helping me apply for my mortgage and securing my home. Katerina was also a great with quick responses to any query’s I have had with being a new buyer. Would highly recommend them both and would work with them again in the future should I need any other advice
Excellent and helpful service from a great team
Stuart and David have been incredibly helpful from the start. They have helped make the buying experience as straightforward as possible which I have really appreciated.
First Mortgage Chester-Le-Street
First Mortgage Chester-Le-Street have been absolutely amazing, specially Ronan and Jess. They have been great to deal with and are incredible at responding. As first time buyers myself and my partner were both very nervous about the process but with the help of Jess and Ronan, the process was unbelievably smooth with a lot of reassurance. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would.
