from start to finish my journey from reserving a property to having a mortgage offer was 9 days! The team at New Homes certainly didn't hang about and it was a nice experience to not have to do any chasing! Everything was well organised and I was given clear and simple instruction.
The only minor niggles, was that during the meeting with the mortgage advisor, it felt like I was being given a hard sell for additional Products - e.g. contents insurance, critical illness cover. I was only interested in a mortgage product and I felt like I had to justify myself as to why I wasn't interested in discussing these additional products at this meeting. But like a say, a minor niggle. The mortgage 'handler' that looked after me after this was very good indeed.
The only other comment I would make was that they charge a fee. When you consider that they will already make a fair bit of commission from the mortgage product I don't necessarily think it is value for money in comparison to those that don't charge a fee.
All in all though, I think New Homes did what they said they would, in good order!
