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.

Opinion: Banks aren’t passing on the benefit of lower rates where it matters
Short-term fixed rates have remained stubbornly high in the wake of recent OCR cuts. But with bank margins now up near record levels, Squirrel founder JB is urging lenders to starting passing the benefits of rate cuts onto customers where it matters.

We loved working with Adam. He was down to earth and really proactive in assisting us with our first home. We couldn't thank Adam enough for making the process easy and being with us every step of the way. I would highly recommend using squirrel and work with Adam and the team. A++ from me.
