We had a pretty unusual situation - rural property in highlands of Scotland - but nevertheless Alex Dowding & Stacey Denham still managed to deliver a couple of more than acceptable mortgage options for us. The Coreco process was slick & efficient from beginning to end with good communication throughout. Would absolutely recommend!
