We were a little unsure of what to expect at first and were a little nervous about letting a stranger into our home to review our finances... but after meeting with JS all our worries went away. He put us at ease and explained everything in a simple and understandable manner. The mortgage deal he managed to arrange for us was fantastic and suited our needs perfectly.

Written on: 09/05/2013
JS from Echo finance was very efficient and found us a great mortgage deal which really suited us. He came to our home when it was convenient for us and really helped us to understand the different mortgage deals out there. My husband has usually dealt with our mortgage over the years, but I felt confident to deal with it myself this time as JS gave us step by step guidance along the way. The service is not the cheapest but we will hopefully get our monies worth over the full length of our... (read more)

In my mid 50's I needed to know if it was possible to remortgage and raise more funds at an affordable repayment. They made my remortgage easy,quick and effortless.

I had previously tried to remortgage but failed at every turn until he came along! The whole process was so efficient and he kept in touch at every stage and always... (read more)
