I can't praise Roy highly enough, he is hardworking, professional, and dependable I always knew he would respond to emails and phone calls. It is the first time I have ever applied for a mortgage and being an older client he needed to find me a tailor-made deal to fit my requirements, and he found me the perfect deal. He kept me informed every step of the way and gave me support when I needed it, he was able to sort out any lumps and bumps that arose. He is always helpful and pleasant on the phone and I felt perfectly at ease with him, he is the only person I could rely on to lend me support when

I don't usually write reviews but given how impressed my wife and I are with the service we received from Roy at SWLaw, I feel compelled to do so! Roy has been fantastic in helping us choose the right product for us, explaining everything in layman's terms and keeping us updated with progress every step of the way. Everything Roy promised, he delivered and more! I won't bore with the details but in summary, Roy is the complete package and with what is usually considered a highly stressful and complicated process, my wife and I felt completely at ease and up to date with every situation when it

My husband and I decided to use SWLaw Solicitors when we wanted to remortgage our property and were recommended Roy, one of their mortage brokers/financial planners. Roy has been incredible from the start of what has been a fairly lengthy process and has provided us with constant communication and support. We couldn't have done it without Roy who has really taken the pressure off of remortgaging! 100% recommend this company and their staff.
