Outstanding service...
Outstanding service throughout the process of purchasing our first home! Mark and Kieran were extremely helpful, able to answer all questions we had about the process and really responsive, especially early on when viewing properties and getting our mortgage application done - could not be happier with our experience with them. Coreco felt a little pushy when it came to encouraging us to arrange insurance through them, numerous phone calls and emails despite telling them we were arranging ourselves, but understand this is part of their business model and they were always polite despite this. Would absolutely recommend their mortgage services to anyone!
