Better experience second time round
We have been clients with D A Calder for a couple of years now. Unfortunately, we found our first experience a little stressful at times due to being in a particular category as borrowers which thankfully is no longer the case but our first broker we dealt with made us feel bad for being classed as 'adverse' and we felt like we were paying a large fee for not much work. We did manage to remortgage but it was a painful process and caused us to be put off using this company again.
When it came to remortgage again this year, we gave this company another chance and we are so glad we did. Kirsten who we have previously dealt with was one of the reasons we wanted to stay as she actually kept us updated first time round although it probably wasn't up to her to do this, we felt that she went above and beyond for us. When our fixed rate was coming to an end I spoke with Kirsten again and she told me there would be someone new dealing with us. We thought that we would give D A Calder another chance as we were in a different position from two years ago.
We were introduced to Charlene. Charlene is very skilled in her field and her professionalism speaks volumes. As previously mentioned we are no longer classed as adverse borrowers which took us a lot of hard work to achieve. Charlene made us feel very well looked after and most importantly respected as D A Calder's clients. Charlene took the time to actually get to know us and we didn't feel like she was 'ticking boxes'. Her knowledge and experience was very much shown and will be remembered.
Now happily a high street borrower, we had a very smooth process this time round and feel like we could be clients for many years now. Thank you Charlene and Kirsten for always answering our queries and being professional every time.
