We had an outstanding experience with Sam at Orwell Mortgages! As first-time buyers, we had lots of questions and wasn’t sure what to expect, but Sam made the whole process simple and easy to understand from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he would answer our questions within minutes even with it being 7am or 7pm! This gave us so much reassurance throughout the process. His support, patience, and professionalism made what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward. We can’t thank Sam enough and would highly recommend him and Orwell Mortgages to anyone looking for a mortgage, especially first-time buyers. Thank you so much Sam! Saff & Ross

Sam was absolutely fantastic throughout our journey of buying our first home. From start to finish, he made what could have been a very stressful process feel smooth and manageable. His knowledge and expertise were clear from the outset, and he took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand, no matter how complex it seemed at first. We never felt overwhelmed or left in the dark—Sam was always patient, approachable, and happy to answer any questions we had. What really stood out was how supportive and reassuring he was during each stage of the process. He genuinely cared about helping us make the right decisions and ensuring everything went as smoothly as possible. We couldn’t have asked for a better mortgage advisor and would highly recommend Sam to anyone—especially first-time buyers. Thank you for making our experience such a positive one!

I can’t recommend Steve at Orwell Mortgages highly enough. From start to finish, he demonstrated exceptional knowledge and professionalism, making the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. His customer care is truly outstanding—he was always at the end of the phone whenever I needed guidance, and no question was ever too much trouble. He took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring I felt confident and well-informed at every stage. What really sets Steve apart is his fantastic network of trusted professionals within the mortgage and finance space. Whether it was finding the right lender, navigating different mortgage options, or getting specialist advice when needed, he was able to connect me with the right experts, which made a huge difference. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, approachable, and completely dedicated to providing excellent service, Steve is the person to go to. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Terry was absolutely amazing during the whole process of buying. He squeezed us in short notice to go though affordability and receiving our mortgage offer was so straightforward. Couldn’t fault the service we received, communication was solid throughout the whole process and Terry also checked in with us when we had moved. Would recommend to everyone, made the home buying process so much less stressful! Thank you Terry!
