Well Sarah was nothing but brilliant through our remortgage process. Which has taken us a while due to our personal circumstances but Sarah never made us feel
Well Sarah was nothing but brilliant through our remortgage process. Which has taken us a while due to our personal circumstances but Sarah never made us feel like we were in any rush and she was so flexible with us. We picked up this year where we had left off and proceeded to run through our mortgage options. She explained the rates what were available to us with documents that were accredited then when we got the formal documents we were in a position to get the application completed. In this time Sarah has been in good communication with us but never once made me feel I needed to do anything quicker than I could. She is super friendly, knowledgeable and above anything else doesn't give you any BS to what you should or shouldn't be doing. She even told us to stick with some additional extras we already had because they were of better interest to us and we would essentially get less cover for more money so for me that a huge thing!! She even got us a slightly better deal when signing up so she never stopped trying to do right by us. We are forever grateful for her taking time out in the evening when suitable for my husband and I to get the application completed. Will be shouting from the roof tops to use Sarah at Embrace Financial services to anyone and everyone who may need this service. Thank you again
On our first meeting we were so impressed, Sarah does not need a calculator or computer screen to work out, what you can borrow, what you can afford, she is a human calculator and to watch her do this is just amazing.
We have returned to Sarah many times for advice, she is so honest, she explains all options that you have available to you.
If anyone is ever looking for sound, professional, unbiased advice, Sarah is the best person you will ever be so lucky to come in with contact.
We would never consider any other advisor, ever.
Thank you Sarah
