Extraordinary Mortgage Broker!!!

We came into the market as very new to the whole UK mortgage system and it all seemed very daunting. However, Alan was very patient and helpful by answering all our questions and providing all the clarifications needed. He was very honest and thorough guiding us and providing realistic expectations and deadlines which he exceeded again and again.

We would definitely use his services again and recommend him to others. Thank you Your Next Step Mortgage for making the purchase of our first home a great experience!

I wish there were more stars I could give!!

What a service we received from start to finish. I know we weren't the most straightforward clients, but Alan didn't make as feel like a nuisance, and no question was too silly (I'm sure we asked lots of silly questions). We would highly recommend Alan his knowledge is amazing and always kept us updated through the whole process. Going forward, we wouldn't use anyone else.

Can't recommend enough

I can't recommend Your Next Step enough. Throughout the entire process Alan and Patrick have been informative, reassuring and incredibly professional. As a first time buyer the mortgage process is very intimidating but the team at Your Next Step made it feel much less so. From organising the agreement in principle, to the mortgage itself, to recommending solicitors, they have been fantastic from start to finish.

First class from start to finish! 🤝🏼

We got in touch with Alan after having a negative experience with two other mortgage advisors.

He went above and beyond for each step of the process, prompt replies and clear explanations throughout and managed to find us a FAR better deal than the previous advisors had found us.

We’ll be recommending Alan to anyone looking for a hard-working advisor that truly cares about finding people the best deal he can.

First class service!

I was referred to Alan by a friend. From day one, Alan has been excellent to communicate with. He has always been there to quickly answer any questions we had. Alan suggested creating a group chat to update us on the progress of our application, which worked great for me and my partner as we currently do not live together. Everything was explained to us thoroughly, but in simple terms so that we fully understood. Alan is such a genuine, friendly and professional mortgage broker.

Thank you very much, Alan - you made the process stress-free for us! We will definitely be recommending your service to family & friends!
