In the beginning I was convinced that we would go it alone without a makelaar or a financial adviser, but I’m very glad I followed the advice of a colleague and contacted Expat Mortgages. Chris was very approachable and friendly and responded swiftly to my many queries, providing clear answers and explanations. His handling of our mortgage application was very efficient and he reassured us that all was going smoothly. I highly recommend having someone like Chris on your side to ensure you get the best rate available and that everything is handled properly; it gave me the confidence I wouldn’t otherwise have had, being a first-time buyer and an expat, and certainly made the whole process completely stress-free for us. Many thanks Chris!
