FROM OUR CLIENTS
“Cannot recommend this mortgage adviser highly enough. I came across Helmut’s website after searching online, and I am so pleased that I made contact. Being a first time buyer, I was apprehensive about the options available to me. My first point of contact in looking into a mortgage was with my own bank, I then compared this to a few other highstreet banks, but I was not pleased with the options that they were offering. When I first met with Helmut, I explained my financial position to him and he was confident that he could assist me. He found several mortgages that I was eligible for, and they were at a considerably different amount than the banks offered me initially.” read more..

“We sourced Helmut Elstner as our mortgage adviser. We were first time buyers and very new to the process. Helmut from The Mortgage Clinic was able to provide the guidance we needed and process all information in our home and at times that suited us. He was always in constant communication and was able to find us the best mortgage deals available in a very short space of time. His advice fee was very reasonable compared to any other mortgage adviser we had met. The mortgage he suggested was perfect for what we needed. The process felt much easier with Helmut on side and proceeded at a great pace. We would advise anyone to use Helmut from The Mortgage Clinic for any mortgage or financial needs, a five star service!”
“I would highly recommend The Mortgage Clinic to anyone. Helmut dealt with my first mortgage and then re-mortgage in a very professional and efficient manner. Dealing with an independent mortgage advisor gave a flexibility to pick tailored product that worked for me. Helmut brought to my attention details I would have never considered and saved me a lot of money and hassle.
I felt well looked after and that my needs were the priority. The best mortgage advisor I have ever came across and I have high confidence in his services.
Thank you !”
