What our clients say
I consider Des an essential partner to my ambitions for building a property portfolio. After consulting numerous mortgage brokers, all of whom said it wouldn’t be possible to purchase another property, Des was able to find a way. Cheesy comments aside, if property is your chosen investment then Des can help turn the impossible into a reality.
Chris D., Buckinghamshire
Des is a life saver. He managed to help me secure my next property purchase in what were very difficult conditions. Actually he was the only one who came up with a workable solution. Cannot recommend him and 1st Call 4 Mortgages enough. Gold Star!
Preeti F., London
I would totally recommend 1st Call 4 Mortgages, very professional service. Des was fantastic at arranging our mortgage, even calming me down when our first house fell through, he sorted it all out and even had to re-do the mortgage. Would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family.
Jane T., Teignmouth, Devon
1st Call 4 Mortgages arranged a bridging loan to meet short term funding needs. The process was far from straight forward, but Des's knowledge and patience removed much of the anxiety from the experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Des’ services, as I am confident he will continue to deliver well above the call of duty.
Ian S, London
Des helped make organising a mortgage really easy, simple , and stress free saving us lots of time as he did all of the research for us. Unfortunately our first choice house went to another buyer so we had many adjustments and reviews to tweak the mortgage product suited to our needs and the property we eventually purchased. Des never complained about doing the regular tweaks and reviews maintaining a ‘can do’ attitude, exactly what we needed. Des was a great help and we have already referred him to friends of ours for when they are ready to start the property search.
