Excellent Experience
We were recommended Dale by friends after he secured a complex mortgage for them.
From the get go, he has been super supportive to me and my partner as first time buyers after a bad experience with another company. Dale answered all our questions promptly and was always easy to get hold of. He never made us feel like any question was silly and helped us to understand what was happening each step of the way.
We are now settled in our first home, and without Dale to begin with, I doubt we would be here. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dale in the future. A big, massive thank you to him!
Highly recommend Garry
I have used Garry Smith twice now, first for a house purchase and most recently for a re-mortgage. I would highly recommend Garry. He is very easy to deal with and has excellent communication as well as being very efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend Garry to anyone requiring mortgage advice.

Richard Morgan made it a great experience, we worked together to solve a very complex situation over a long period of time, the result is a mortgage offer. Super helpful, persistent and resourceful. Very professional but also pragmatic. Highly recommended and I will definitely use Richard again in the future
What an amazing team
What an amazing team, Chris Kenny and Nioni are absolutely fantastic. As a first time buyer I didn’t know anything about getting a AIP or mortgage and I couldn’t have come across a more professional, helpful, knowledgeable and support team. Chris took time to explain everything to me in detail and was available any time to answer my questions, even though I had a lot of questions! He was so nice and reassuring. Then managed to do what other advisers failed to do and I know why, it’s because the care and really want to help people to get the best deal.
I will never be able to thank you enough but again
Thank You sooooooo much you’re amazing!
Harriette and Alison are superstars of mortgage applications!
This is the second time I’ve used Harriette and Alison from FAC. I didn’t hesitate to use them again after the first time. Again, Harriette was great to work with. She’s very efficient, personable and patient when it comes to those late night worrying emails. Getting a mortgage is really stressful but I knew I was in good hands throughout the whole process. Towards the end of the process we were handed over to Alison who kept us updated at all stages. I definitely don’t want to apply for another mortgage any time soon, but when I do I’ll be going through Harriet and team again.
The best firm to do the job
Dipak Mistry Was assigned to my husband and I when we were purchasing our first home.
From the very first phone call Dipak clearly knew his stuff, he was so polite, kind and so friendly over the phone.
Nothing was too much trouble and he was so flexible with my husband’s working hours.
Even with our difficult situation In getting a mortgage Dipark went above and beyond in helping us.
I highly recommend the firm to help with any circumstances as they are amazing.
Dipak you are a credit to the firm, to yourself and your Co workers.
Thank you so much

Tony L was amazingly helpful with my fathers remortgage. He answered all of our questions, provided support at every step of the way and helped us to find the best deal suited to us. Very please and would recommend! Thank you Tony!!
Great and Profesional
It was a great, quick and very professional service. Garry Smith, the financial advisor that helped me on my mortgage application have been with me all the way. He informed me about all the steps, helped me with all the documentation and gave me the best advice.
I am very happy to use Garry Smith as my financial advisor anytime if I need to.
Excellent service, friendly conversations and also very professional.
A complex mortgage application
A complex mortgage application, dealt with ease by our outstanding mortgage advisor Michael Robinson. From that very first call, Michael showed a great knowledge of the market and process of getting our purchase over the line. He has been very responsive to our emails and calls, always being there to offer his expertise & reassurance, right up until completion & beyond. I can’t rate him highly enough & I would 100% recommend using this organisation.
A1 Service from start to end
The entire process of selecting and securing a mortgage was made straight forward and simple. Mortgage advisor Garry Smith was first class throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Garry and the services he provided.
Returning Customers - 100% recommend
We are returning customers and again on this occasion Garry Smith has been absolutely superb. He is so thorough and proffessional - Garry was the reason we came back to Financial Advice Centre.
He delivered exactly what he said he would and took us from application to offer in 2 weeks.
We would both strongly recommend Finance Advice Centre and Garry in particular.
Thank you!

What can I say about Chris…
This isn’t the first time we’ve come to Chris, he’s the only man myself and my wife think of when it comes to anything finance,Mortage or anything of that nature, he really can do it all and the best thing is he does it extremely professionally and he’s an absolute work horse…since he make the impossible possible, by somehow getting us our first mortgage some years ago now, when everyone else declined us Chris found a way and he made the process then so simple and he reassured us every step of the way…well he did it again for us, we re-mortgaged recently and took some equity from our current house, Chris stepped up and took care of business like he does, he stuck by us through a tremendously tedious time, his hands were tied with things well out of his control at times but he still did everything he could and he still once again made the impossible, possible.
In my eyes, Chris can do it all nothings to big of an ask and the most important thing and meaningful thing for me is no job is too small, he’ll help you in anyway he can and he won’t bat an eyelid he’s not out to prove anything he just really is the best and his humbleness makes the achievements all the more impressive.
Chris and his work ethic changed our lives for the better then and he’s changed our lives once again for the better and we couldn’t thank him enough, his efforts really don’t go unnoticed, we could praise him enough, im trying to keep my review somewhat professional looking and trying not to be cheesey and over the top but I dread to think what position we would be in if we didn’t find Chris all them years ago.
If Chris can’t do it, it can’t be done.
Thankyou again mate, speak soon.
Terrible service from a broker at this…
Terrible service from a broker at this firm named Craig Sturman.
Craig stated that 3 cases were submitted to Virgin.
These were for 10 year mortgages at sub 3% interest rates.
Craig then lied repeatedly by confirming that they were submitted.
Finally he confessed he had not submitted the cases, and had misrepresented each time that he stated that the cases were submitted.
At this point these cases were escalated and other colleagues progressed the cases at significantly higher interest rates.
Had Craig not lied repeatedly, the cases would have been accepted, and I incurred direct consequential losses based on the difference in the rates when Craig stated he had submitted the cases and the rates when the mortgages were subsequently obtained; not using this firm.
We were recommended Garry and he's been…
We were recommended Garry and he's been amazing. He's always contactable, answers every question, and helped us achieve what we needed. Really great experience and would definitely recommend.
Great Experience
Worked with Dale for our mortgage offer - he provided clear and easy to follow advice, and generally made the whole experience as smooth as possible. Would definitely recommend.
Second-to-none
I have worked with 2 other advisers in the past but the level of service and support received from Garry has honestly been second-to-none. His phone is always on and he is always ready to offer genuine and valuable advice and guidance. Finding Garry has proven to be game-changing for me and my family and I would urge anyone, in any financial position, irrespective of their mortgage situation to seek advice from him. I have learned a lot throughout the process and I already feel prepared for the future.
Brilliant advisor - Garry Smith
Our advisor, Garry Smith has been excellent. He has spent years in the run up to our eventual move giving us helpful and insightful advice. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without him, and I recommend Garry to anyone who needs an advisor with a laser focus, and hugely in depth knowledge of the industry. He got us a great deal, and he was incredibly generous with the time and advice he gave to us.
Thank you Prabz
I just wanted to give a big shoutout to Prabz from the Finance Advice Centre! He was incredibly helpful and really went above and beyond to assist me with my issue. It's so refreshing to receive such great customer service, and I truly appreciate all of the time and effort Prabz put in to help me out. Thank you so much!
