Always very easy to deal with and get things sorted. They do really take the hassle out of sorting and arranging to get my mortgage put together. It does feel like they are actually interested in helping and followed up after to make sure it was all good.

Mayank has been great to deal with. Our mortgage is floating for the first few days and then we will fix next week since there's been an OCR cut. Mayank was really good at explaining things especially the option of setting up part of the mortgage with a revolving credit.
