Michael Storey was brilliant from the very start. He took the time to discuss all of our options in detail and made sure we secured the best possible mortgage and rates for our house purchase. His communication was clear, he acted quickly throughout the process, and everything felt straightforward and very stress-free. We couldn’t recommend Michael more highly. Thank you again!
Kept me up to date during the process and helped chasing solicitors for documents and progress.
Quick and keen service from start to finish. Very professional, responsive, and always on the ball. Made the whole process smooth and stress-free
A big thankyou to Alayna and all the staff at the Blyth Branch, the process is going according to plan

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.
Outstanding customer service, professionalism, compassion and proactivity describe my experience with the services provided by Gemma and Suzanne at the RMS Blyth Branch. I highly recommend them. They genuinely care!

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 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.

Ellie and Claire were amazing when it came to helping me sell my dads house. They helped me fill in the paperwork I didn’t understand and were happy for me to contact them with any questions or enquiries I had. If I sell any other property I will definitely be returning to Ellie at Rook Mathew’s sayer West Denton.

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.

Alistair from the Bedlington office was excellent—he clearly explained all the options and worked quickly to get my remortgage completed as fast as possible. I would highly recommend him!
