A massive thank you to Emma at Oundle & Stamford Mortgage Services. You made our mortgage application so so easy and gave us the reassurance to be able to benefit from the COVID-19 stamp duty tax relief! No matter what time of day Emma always responded to our queries and regularly touched base if she hadn't heard anything for a while. Using a local broker just gives you the reassurance that a professional invested individual has your best interests at heart.

We were first time buyers and we were a bit lost in how the whole process works in buying our very first home.

Both of my brothers have used Oundle and Stamford Mortgage Services and we can all highly recommend!! Thank you so much for helping us move into our new home.

Emma was absolutely stand out; not only did she know the in's and outs of every lender and placed me in the best possible way, pushing my affordability to the exact amount I needed, but she was also so personable, came back to me really quickly on all my questions (which was loads as a first time buyer purchasing on my own), I felt really looked after and she even called me when she was on holiday. Thank you so much Emma for helping me get my first mortgage.

Having worked in the estate agency and mortgage industry for the last 10 years, I thought, as a first-time buyer, that it would be easy to understand how to get a mortgage, but I was wrong!

Lisa Northeast

Emma was understanding of our situation and worked outside of normal hours to get a mortgage offer in place. She achieved this in record time and avoided interest rate rises. Oundle and Stamford Mortgages are the most professional company I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

I can’t recommend Oundle and Stamford Mortgages enough. Emma has helped me in the past, and her knowledge of the mortgage world is unmatched. She got us a great mortgage offer in an uncertain market. We’ve just moved into our dream home, and we couldn’t have done it without her help.

With this being my first home, I wanted a firm that would be on top of my purchase and keep me updated. I struck gold when I proceeded to go with Jess and the team. The entire process was so easy, and Jess made it feel very personal and like she would do her best to look after me. These Charlie’s Angels made it possible.

Sam Machin

Emma and the team are fantastic. As first-time buyers, we needed the process explained to us in a lot of detail, and Emma was always at the end of the phone to answer any questions or queries we had. She is highly professional (and patient!). We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Oundle and Stamford Mortgages to anyone.

Emma and Kelly were brilliant with getting a mortgage for my partner and me. Being self-employed made it a little tricky for us, but they found a great lender with fantastic rates. They were always there whenever we needed help or had a question. We will, without a doubt, be coming back to Oundle and Stamford!

James Bush

I recently used Jess to remortgage our property. At very short notice, she pulled out all the stops to ensure we could secure the best deal available on the market before the interest rate increased. This saved us hundreds of pounds. She was quick to respond to questions, always polite and utterly professional.

Max Honey

Oundle and Stamford gave fantastic advice and customer service from start to finish. The team was professional and proactive in making progress on my remortgage.
