SMS did a great job in finding me 2 mortgages for 1 property (a Let to Buy Mortgage on my current home and a residential mortgage on my new home. Emma my adviser did everything she could to over come all the obstacles that the lenders randomly put in our way! It was a bit of a slog for the LTB mortgage for various reasons but Emma didn't give up and was incredibly hardworking every step of the way. She also has an incredibly cheerful and upbeat nature and an encyclopedic knowledge of the mortgage market. She secured a great value mortgage for me and I would thoroughly recommend her and everybody else at SMS.
The entire team at SMS is just awesome. The kind of professionalism and friendly behaviour Russell, Emma, Paula, Alison and Pam exhibited through the months we are associated with them, is just incredible and commendable. Thanks to them, we sailed through our property mortgage application and insurance needs very smoothly. They are an absolutely fantastic team to get financial services from. We would recommend them to everyone.

Myself and GF Sam, used SMS/Emma for our “first time buyer” mortgage application in March.
Throughout the process, Emma was excellent, she was very helpful with the many questions we had and was always careful to sit and take time to explain why one option wasn’t working and another maybe a better option.
The ladies in the office are always so welcoming and friendly, it makes any feeling of pressure or stress that much easier to handle as you know they’re working hard for you!
Emma personally, was always available for us in the office and by phone, even though she had many other clients and ongoing family commitments, she would still give us that quick call or email to make sure we knew what was happening.
Sorry this review has taken so long, but thanks to you guys we’ve moved into our first home now and are finally realising a dream.
We couldn’t recommend Emma and the SMS team highly enough. Thanks, from Paul & Sam.
James was a wonderful, helpful advisor and very accommodating of the chaos that my kids would bring to his office every time I went in for a meeting! We are very grateful to him for helping us through buying our home and will be going back to him whenever the need arises next.
Exceptional service from Russell and Paula! I agree with all the previous comments and would highly recommend SMS. Despite difficult circumstances, I had two mortgage applications submitted and approved within a very short period of time. Aside from doing a great job, the team genuinely cares about their clients! I'd like to publicly say a very big thank you to Russell and Paula for all their support. I really can't praise them enough!
Professional, Friendly, and helpful throughout the whole re-mortgage process.
Rebecca and the team went above and beyond to help us through the process. Would highly recommend.
I literally cannot rate the service I received from Russell and the team at Sussex Mortgages any higher. As a first time buyer, and having a complex case (i work outside the UK) I was a little green and honestly overwhelmed by all of the information / requirements and procedures it takes to get a mortgage. Russell has a very personal approach, he explains everything in "real English" and genuinely wants to get you the best deal and to make sure you are comfortable and happy at every stage of the process. I also dealt with Pam on a few occasions and felt the same level of personal care. Thank you so much !! Isla (ps i am now a home owner!!:) )
Emma dealt with my mortgage application very efficiently and professionally. I would recommend Emma and the team at Sussex Mortgage Services!
We had great service and communication with Sussex Mortgage Services. Would highly recommend.
Great service, guidance, and advice from start to finish , making the somewhat stressful time of moving house, seamless.
Great service from start to finish. Really good communication from start to finish from Paul and his team. I will continue to use SMS for all my mortgage finances in future
dealt with Emma from the point of finding the right house and mortgage to arranging life insurance. Her relaxed yet professional and caring approach to finding us the right deals helped make the whole move experience less stressful, almost enjoyable! We have no hesitation in recommending her.
Helpful and Trustworthy. Emma was super and helped us throughout the process. She also reassured us, supported us and explained everything in detail.
Emma was always kind, helpful and available for any questions and doubts. She really made the whole process of buying our first flat (and life insurance as well) less stressful for us. Highly recommended and thanks again.
Couldn't thank all at SMS enough for their patience, support, and advice, especially James, Ali, and Paula for simplifying the mortgage process and providing an excellent service,
Russell made things very simple when applying for my mortgage amongst many other obstacles I had to deal with. He was very friendly and approachable and I would have no hesitation in recommending him
Russell Parker and his team at Sussex mortgages are fantastic - I’m really pleased with the time, energy and enthusiasm they put into sourcing the best possible deal for me! ...great value for money by interrogating the huge competitive market and coming back to me with the pros and cons of all the options
Accessible, supportive, honest, professional....what more could you ask for? Sussex Mortgage Services helped us buy our first house and more recently our second. Top team, top peformamce, outstanding value for money!
Couldn't thank Russell enough for all his help with our mortgage. He made the process very easy and found us the amount we needed to borrow at a extremely better rate than we had been offered by our existing lender.
Fantastic service and customer care, cannot recommend these guys enough, thank you!
