Fantastically run business. We had Christina Gerrity help us with a mortgage and life insurance and she was very helpful and responsive. Nothing was to much trouble and she was always only a phone call away to help. Highly recommended and i wouldn't hesitate to use Christina or the The Mortgage Shop again. Thank you again 5*

I would highly recommend Rob as he has talked me through the process and helped me set up my first mortgage. He has been very good at communicating with myself and offering help with anything I've needed advice with.

Rob is the most approachable, responsive and helpful professional I have ever come across in financial sector. Always keeps you updated and helps in every possible way. I have recently had my 3rd mortgage agreement through the mortgage shop and service I received from Rob has been beyond my expectations. Very highly recommended. Many thanks

Just got our mortgage changed over to a better rate after having ours for 2 years and yet again I am very impressed! The service here is always speedy, friendly and very efficient, I have already recommended The Mortgage Shop to many of my family members and friends and have always had excellent feedback from them. I highly suggest if you need a mortgage sorting, don't faff about and go here!
