As a first time buyer, I was absolutely petrified of all the what ifs, understanding the process etc but Embrace and Graham have made me feel like it's all sorted. I've been totally free to work on other aspects of the purchase without feeling overwhelmed - it's been a delight to be thinking more about what kitchen cupboards I want rather than hours researching what 'fixed rate' means!
Very grateful to Embrace and Graham for their assistance. Worth every penny.

As a first-time buyer, the whole mortgage process felt a bit overwhelming at first, but Stacey made everything so much easier to understand and navigate. She explored options I hadn’t even considered, and I honestly don’t think I’d be buying the house I am at the moment if it wasn’t for her advice and support. From the very beginning, she was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always happy to answer any question – no matter how small.
Stacey has made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable, and I can’t thank her enough for all her help. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor – she’s fantastic at what she does and truly goes above and beyond.
