Sam Warren has been incredibly efficient and professional as we have renewed our mortgage. This is the third time we have remortgaged with Coreco and we will definitely use them again in the future. Despite a tricky set of circumstances and our endless questions, we have ended up with a pleasing result.

This is the third time I’ve used Coreco for my mortgage. I have mostly dealt with Sarah Aitken - she and her team have always been fantastic - efficient, straight forward, professional and responsive to deal with. They always answer any questions I have very clearly and promptly and have never been pushy or salesy or given bad advice. I would highly recommend using them.

Excellent professional, clear sighted advice and support throughout the mortgage process from Jennifer Nursiah together with Colette Thorn. Would highly recommend her as this is the third time our family has worked with her and Coreco.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The actual amount you pay will depend on your circumstances. The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is 0.3% of the amount borrowed.
