We’ve worked with Alison at Ascot Mortgages on multiple occasions, and every time she’s been incredible. Alison is so easy to work with—she’s professional, patient, and always makes sure we understand every step. She found us great rates and made what could be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We’re so grateful for her and the teams help and wouldn’t trust anyone else with our mortgage needs!
Explained every step clearly to me of buying my house. Explaining what and why solicitors and other companies involved are asking of me and why and always saying to contact them with any questions. Made me feel very supported and secure will definitely recommend and use again.
I can't say enough about the excellent care I received from my Ascot Mortgages, particularly Richard. From the start, his professionalism, friendliness, and genuine support were evident. Richard went above and beyond to explain everything in detail, making me feel totally informed and at ease throughout the process. His skill and attention to detail were obvious, but it was his personal touch and desire to go above and beyond that truly stood out. I felt totally cared for and supported. Highly recommend to anyone searching for excellent advice and service!

We have dealt with Ascot Mortgages twice. Once for a mortgage about eleven years ago and recently for life insurance.In both cases we were treated with the utmost respect and professionalism.In the case of the life insurance application, we considered ourselves to be problem customers because of our age and numerous health issues.Richard Johnson, who managed this application couldn't have been more helpful.He worked in our best interest and was dedicated to providing an excellent service.We were kept up to date through all of the stages of the application and when our doctors were very slow in producing medical reports for the insurance company he persisted where others might have given up.The service we had from Richard was pleasant and professional throughout some difficult stages.My wife and I have no hesitation in recommending Ascot Mortgages.
