Roy Archer was recommended to me by my Son who also had a very good experience in dealing with Roy. I required 2 BTL's in place and this was addressed efficiently and without any hassle - I found Roy the most helpful person and very responsive in his communications. I would very much recommend City Mortgages as i have had a good experience with them. Thank you Roy !

Helen has dealt with 5 mortgages for me now and has provided exceptional service. The rate on my current mortgage is amazing - not sure how she managed that! She goes the extra mile to make sure the mortgage goes through on time, including chasing me when I forget to do something, which is very much appreciated. Phil

We have been dealing with Steve for a number of years from when we moved to our home and also remortgaging twice. The service has been great and really suited our needs. We have secured the lowest interest rate possible and reduced the length of our term by a number of years. Excellent
