I can’t thank Alex enough
I can’t thank Alex enough! Despite my adverse credit, he was patient, professional, and very quick to respond. He turned my dream into a reality when I thought it wasn't possible. Highly recommend his services to anyone. Good luck and thank you!
Supportive
Alex was very supportive throughout the whole process. We hit a little bump in the road but that was smoothed over. When it came to any problems in the application he was very quick to get a hold of! Good advice and support when it came to getting my home survey report from the surveyor which was important to me because I’m a first time buyer. Would definitely use Alex and his team again. Thank you!
Highly recommended to anyone looking to buy their first home.
I approached Alex after finding Mortgage Chain through one of his YouTube video guides, as I was honestly completely out of my depth and did not know the first thing to do when starting the process of buying my first home.
Alex made everything understandable in an engaging manner and answered all of the questions I had about the potential minefield that buying a property can become. Everything was dealt with quickly and explained in both detail and in a way I could understand.
Throughout the process of dealing with conveyancing we faced multiple issues, due to errors on the side of my seller’s solicitors. Alex and his team continuously went out of their way to ensure that all mortgage related matters were handled correctly, promptly and without issues. This also included personally contacting both conveyancers and estate agents, and helped to get the process moving.
There were multiple delays towards the end of the process regarding exchanging and completing, again due to errors caused by the seller’s solicitors. This meant that I had to complete on the day my mortgage offer came to expire, which fell through into the next day with no margin for error or delay. Naturally this was a cause of anxiety for anybody, however I have had a history of severe anxiety and what meant the most to me out of the whole experience is that after contacting Alex asking about what my options were he dropped everything. Mortgage Chain then did everything possible to ease my anxiety and help the process complete, whilst putting everything in place incase I couldn’t complete. Just the fact that they clearly care about their clients like family speaks volumes.
Without a shadow of doubt I will be contacting Alex when the time to remortgage comes up, as the level of professionalism demonstrated is not something easily found these days.
Thank you so much Alex and the whole team at Mortgage Chain for everything!
Alex the Great!! Simply the Best!!
Alex’s advice and guidance is levels above average. His passion and drive to get you sorted is top class. Alex becomes a part of your journey and remains by your side every step. If you are a first time buyer then look no further than Alex Kerr. The main man!!
The best mortgage advisor that I had
The best mortgage advisor that I had. He was able to tell from the beginning that there shouldn't be any problems with the mortgage application, and after 2-3 weeks, I received my application approval. I highly recommend.

Lovely team but sadly we didnt get the best mortgage for us and lost money
I want to write my review starting with that i completed on my purchase in Aug 2024, but I didnt want to rush a review inorder to be as fair as possible. First here are the good parts, I loved the system Alex has created and the resources you can find from his website, the ability to book in appointments into his diary aswell it is all great for the client experience. Alex is very lovely, did well to listen to our needs.
The constructive parts - we had to go through 2 applications with Alex, there were parts were we found we had to re repeat e.g source of funds. I believe it would helpful to have some notes on a client profile which key elements to help remember key details when it comes to finding the right provider for them.
The reason for my 3 star review is we paid the highest fee of 2k to Alex and a couple of weeks later a high street lender gave a mortgage offer 1% less than the one Alex had recommended. This meant that we were saving £400 a month in our mortgage payments. Ultimately you to a mortgage broker so you can find the best deal for your situation and for us it meant that we lost a lot money rather than saved money.
Outstanding service from Alex
Outstanding service from Alex, was in a sticky situation due to blemishes on my credit file, other advisors just tried to get me on any deal, where as Alex gave me advise on what to do be in a better situation which I’m grateful for and guided me through the whole process.

A Mortgage Broker Who Truly Cares and Delivers Results
We were in an extremely tricky situation with our mortgage application due to the higher loan amount we wanted to borrow and the fact that both of us have second jobs. We had already applied twice, only to be rejected without any explanation, leaving us completely lost. To make matters worse, the previous mortgage brokers we worked with offered no help or guidance, and even after consulting several other brokers, no one could identify the reasons for our rejections—until we met Alex.
From the moment we spoke to Alex, we knew we were in good hands. He was the only broker who could pinpoint the issue, and instead of seeing it as a roadblock, he took it on as a challenge. He worked tirelessly to find the best possible solution and, incredibly, managed to secure our mortgage in just two weeks!
I cannot thank Alex enough for his incredible support, dedication, and expertise. He was transparent, patient, and always available to answer our questions and guide us through every step of the process.
I will recommended Alex to all my family and friends. If you’re looking for a mortgage broker who genuinely cares, goes the extra mile, and gets results, look no further. Highly recommended!

Outstanding Service
Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended!
I cannot thank Alex enough for the incredible support and dedication he showed throughout my mortgage journey. Despite my poor credit, he worked tirelessly to secure a great mortgage rate for me. From the very start, he was transparent, patient, and always available to guide and direct me through every step of the process.
No challenge was too big for him—he remained committed and proactive, exploring every possible option to make my dream of homeownership a reality. Thanks to his expertise and determination, I finally received the keys to my new home!
I have already recommended him to my family and friends, and I will definitely use his services again in the future. If you're looking for a mortgage broker who truly cares and goes the extra mile, look no further. Highly recommended!

Mortgage Chain has been amazing!
Mortgage Chain has been amazing!
We've had a trickier situation than most when it's come to securing a mortgage because of being self employed, and we actually went through a couple of brokers before we found this one.
Alex has been great from start to finish - always having the time for our many questions being first time buyers and never giving up on our complicated case. We were beginning to think it just wasn't possible for us, but Mortgage Chain made it possible!
I really couldn't recommend Alex and his team enough, it's been stressful but with these guys fighting our corner we've felt we've been in great hands.

As a former bankrupt
As a former bankrupt I doubted I could get a mortgage. I found Alex through his YouTube channel as that is where I find so many experts in their fields these days.
After initial conversations Alex was on the case. As a first time buyer I was very happy to be guided through each step. I think that's where Alex's strength lies. He is an expert in every step. It's not cheap but in my opinion is worth every penny.
I have my mortgage but as I'm still awaiting my structural survey results I feel a bit in limbo. Here's hoping for a great outcome.

Confident, competent, very responsive
We found Alex (Mortgage Chain) through his YouTube channel, which made the mortgage process feel achievable. Alex was professional and responsive, providing balanced advice in a dynamic market. The online portal made document sharing easy, and the initial steps moved quickly, allowing us to focus on viewing properties.
However, there were some issues: we were initially referred to a solicitor who didn't handle new builds, and the insurance follow-up was lacking. Additionally, the costs were higher compared to other brokers. Despite this, we were pleased with the outcome and would recommend Alex and Mortgage Chain. If you feel you need minimal support during the application process, consider researching different brokers and their fees before committing

I had a great experience with Alex
I had a great experience with Alex, we had an initial call where he told me I wasn’t ready and gave me the steps to take to be ready in a few months. I did all that and came back and he held my hands every step of the way. He was always a phone call or email away whenever I needed. When we had an undervaluation in the property, he got us through it and looked for another borrower. Eventually got us a discount on the property. Will highly highly recommend him to any first time buyer especially when you need someone to hold your hands through the process. Thanks very much, Mortgage Chain.

Brilliant service
We used Mortgage Chain as first time buyers with one poor credit history (missed payments). Alex guided us through the process, was a wealth of knowledge and gave us the confidence that we would be able to get a mortgage. Our offer was accepted on the Monday, and before the end of the same week we had our full mortgage offer! We have now completed on our property, and we would not hesitate to use Alex again.

Great communication and smooth experience
I had an excellent experience working with Alex! He and his team were incredibly helpful at every stage of the process, always explaining things clearly—especially the more challenging parts I didn’t understand due to being a first time buyer. Whenever I had questions, they responded quickly and thoroughly, ensuring I felt informed and confident. Communication was top-notch, and I never felt left in the dark. As someone who didn’t really know what to expect, Alex made the entire mortgage process so much easier and stress-free. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a smooth mortgage experience!

Exceptional Guidance and Support for First-Time Buyers: Our Experience with Alex
I found Alex through his YouTube videos, where he teaches and provides hints and tips for first-time buyers. I followed his work for a year until we decided to buy our first home. I downloaded all his materials and completed the checklists before starting the conversation. We booked the first session, and he explained everything in more detail. Throughout the process, he was always available either by phone or email to clarify any questions. He found us a really good mortgage product and was instrumental in handling the challenges we faced with delays from the solicitors. If you are a first-time buyer and need someone to guide you through the process, Alex and his team provide excellent customer service and are always available for support.
Alex is a proactive broker…

Highly efficient and a pleasure to deal with!
Alex was absolutely brilliant in helping arrange my remortgage - attentive, responsive and always willing to cater to all needs and queries that I had. He was also completely transparent about processes from the beginning which I very much appreciate. Would definitely recommend for any mortgage needs!
