Great broker, few small hiccups 13 April 2026

Jake made the whole mortgage thing far less awful than I expected. I first heard about him because a mate from work tipped me off (he'd used Jake and couldn't stop going on about the speed), so I rang him up and that was that. Right away you get the impression he's proper on it — quick replies, sensible advice, and actually remembers the details you keep forgeting. He moved fast, chased rate drops twice and banked me a noticeably better deal than I thought possible, which made me very happy (my future self will thank present-me, I hope). It's not perfect—there was a bit of a faff with one lender's paperwork and we had to push on a signature more than once — but Jake didn't duck it, he chased, phoned, sorted a workaround and kept me in the loop, so it felt handled rather than bungled. Also, he explained the bits I didn't understand without talking down to me, which is a rare thing. I saw him initially after a recommendation in a Facebook group and then passed his name on to my sister — so yes, I've already been that annoying recommender. Small gripe: one email took an afternoon to come back when I was anxious, but that's on the human side of things, not a dealbreaker. Overall he was quick, practical and personable, and genuinely seemed to want the best outcome for me. If you want someone who moves things along, will fight for a better rate and doesn't make you feel daft asking questions, give him a try.
