Report
Didnt have any luck with a number of nationally recognised mortgage companies including London & Country who informed me I would not be able to get a mortgage for my proposed property. However after speaking with Insight felt a great deal more confident. Am due to complete this week and this would not have been possible without Insight and in particular Tommy who handled my case expectionally from start to finish. I would have no hesitation in recommending Insight to my family and friends!
