Customer Reviews
Ian and Stuart were brilliant at explaining every step of buying our first home, they took the time to help us understand the new world of mortgages and every single thing that comes with buying a house, they kept in touch every step of the way and were in the loop with everything making our buying experience second to none.
Great service. I appointed Blue Strawberry Financial services to broker the mortgage deal on the purchase of my first home. Naturally I was uncertain as to what the process entailed however the team guided me through every step of the process and answered every question I had. Stuart initially gave me an overview and ensured the mortgage would be suitable for my income, giving me the confidence to go ahead. After the mortgage deal had been agreed Mandy and the rest of the team kept in touch and guided me right the way through, to beyond completion. I cannot thank or rate Blue Strawberry Financial services highly enough and will be sure to use them again, come time to move.
Blue Strawberry we’re helpful throughout the whole process, nothing was too much to ask, no question seemed silly. I would highly recommend them.
Stu and his team are very professional, Stu looked after us and helped us win anything that we didn’t understand.
Couldnt have asked for anything more from Ian and Stuart- lovely and patient, they made the whole process of buying so much easier. Also was sent a really thoughtful moving in box/gift.
Stuart has been our mortgage advisor for over 4 years now and he’s been fantastic, he’s friendly, always helpful and provides a brilliant service
Fantastic company have used for 2 mortgages now and recommended to many people
Great friendly knowledgeable service. Have dealt with Ian and Stuart for years and will continue to do so.
We thought we wouldn’t be able to get a decent mortgage. The agreement in principle [AIP] from our bank and from high street providers were for a pittance, despite us having a 50% deposit. Then a local estate agent pointed us to Bluestrawberry. We quickly got an appointment with Stuart who talked us through the process and we soon had our AIP. Being first time buyers we found all the team at Bluestrawberry helpful in guiding us from that AIP to getting the keys. We really appreciate their caring & professional attitude, depth of knowledge and persistence.
We had a great experience with Blue Strawberry They were patient with our questions and felt they gave us good advice, walked us through the whole process. It felt like you had a really knowledgeable friend on your side which was great as first-time buyers.
I found Blue Strawberry to be professional, helpful and extremely knowledgeable.
Amazing experience from the start and still feel supported now. I’ve recommended the company to family and friends and they’ve all felt they’ve had excellent service too. Stuart eased our anxieties as new home owners and explained things clearly. Would recommend to any one who is needing this service.

We couldn’t have done it without them as they made the process seem stress free from start to end (especially for us first time buyers who were essentially walking in blind). Honest, excellent, trust worthy advice, with a down to earh, friendly approach which put us right at ease.

Thank you!
They were very helpful to me as a first-time buyer, and regularly kept in touch regarding progress despite the difficult situation last year. Everyone was super professional and made things really clear and straightforward.
Amazing customer service and always at the end of the phone to help with any queries. We were recommended by a family member to use blue strawberry and have since had 2 mortgages through them!

Ian and Stuart have been very supportive and helped me with all aspects of buying my first home!
As a first time buyer purchasing your first property is very daunting however as soon as I called to arrange an appointment with Blue Strawberry I was put at ease with their professionalism but also their friendliness. Each member of staff I spoke to was always helpful and always found time to help me as best they could no matter the time of day or whether they had dealt with my case before. Overall I was very happy with the service I was given as well as the information being explained in a way that I, as a novice first time buyer, could understand. Not only were they great they almost worked right the way through this pandemic, given how crazy of a year it has been for us all everyone at Blue Strawberry remained professional and were always a phone call or email away if needed. Superb service.
I could not fault the service from Blue Strawberry, they were genuinely fantastic from start to finish. I was a first time buyer and had lots of apprehension around buying my own home – the whole process seemed very overwhelming to me. The team at Blue Strawberry provided me with all the reassurance I could possibly need and went way above and beyond what I expected. No question was a stupid one and their patience and competence made me feel at ease from the very beginning. I highly recommend them!
Great experience, a different class of its own compared to other companies talked me through all my options and no miss leading compared to other companies that took advantage of a first time buyer
Super friendly and very helpful! Made me feel a ease during the entire process of getting my mortgage for my first home!
Very friendly and professional service provided. Nothing is too much trouble.
Blue Strawberry were recommended to us by a friend and it’s easy to see why. Being a first time buyer is daunting enough at the best of times, nevermind during a global pandemic when lending was so unpredictable. Stuart and Ian were great, guiding us through all the processes and making sure we understood every step. Great communication, clear advice and friendly support.
Incredibly helpful, kept in touch regularly to make sure the sale was progressing okay. They worked really hard and worked with our solicitor and estate agent to help us secure the mortgage and ensure the sale didn’t fall through during the Covid19 Lockdown. They really helped take the stress out of everything.
Very professional and helpful. Stuart, Ian and the team can’t do enough to help. We highly recommend Blue Strawberry to everyone. Well done guys.
This was our first purchase of a house and wanted to go to someone for advice. Straight away we were greeted from Stewart in a lovely manner. The overall experience was amazing and he explained everything in great detail so that we fully understood. we ended up going through Blue Strawberry for our Mortgage with Acord and were very happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend Blue Strawberry to anybody that is wanting to purchase there first home :)
Excellent service would highly recommend thank you Stuart and Ian
Simply OUTSTANDING! Blue Strawberry have being exceptional throughout this whole process of buying our first home. They were always there to answer any of those worrying or burning questions, and would always take the time to explain things in the simplest of ways to make sure we understood every detail. We honestly can’t thank them enough for guiding us through this huge life step, and also a huge thank you to them for putting up with us, and all the emails and calls we have made to them over the past couple of months your patience and understanding really has been much appreciated. Would highly recommend their services!
Ian and Stuart are fantastic. They were so helpful during the house buying process. I can’t recommend them enough. As a young person, it’s quite daunting trying to source a mortgage, protection and insurance. They explained everything thoroughly and always bent over backwards to try to get the best deal. Excellent company and service.
From start to finish Ian and Stuart were amazing. They explained everything to me step by step, they were incredibly helpful in all aspects of getting a mortgage , I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them or use their services again.
Stuart and Ian are fantastic. We have used them on two occasions and won’t hesitate to go back when we need to re mortgage. Extremely friendly, helpful and professional. We will continue to recommend you to our friends and family.

Key Questions Answered
Here are some answers to the more common questions we get asked. If you would like to know how these factors might affect you specifically, book a initial consultation with one of our award winning team.
What is remortgaging, and why should I consider it?
Remortgaging is the process of switching your existing mortgage to a new deal, either with your current lender or a new one. You might consider remortgaging to secure a better interest rate, reduce monthly payments, release equity, or consolidate debt. It can help you save money or achieve financial goals.
When is the best time to remortgage?
The best time to remortgage is typically when your current mortgage deal is nearing its end, especially if you’re on a fixed or discounted rate. This prevents you from rolling onto a lender’s standard variable rate (SVR), which is often higher. Regularly reviewing your mortgage can also reveal better deals.
How much does it cost to remortgage?
The cost of remortgaging can include fees such as valuation fees, legal fees, early repayment charges (if you leave your current deal early), and arrangement fees for the new mortgage. However, many lenders offer deals that cover these costs, so it’s essential to compare options carefully.
Can I release equity through remortgaging?
Yes, remortgaging can allow you to release equity— the difference between your home’s value and your remaining mortgage balance. This extra cash can be used for home improvements, debt consolidation, or other expenses. However, borrowing more increases your debt, so consider the long-term implications.
Will remortgaging affect my credit score?
Remortgaging itself doesn’t harm your credit score, but applying for a new mortgage does result in a hard credit check. Multiple applications in a short period can lower your score temporarily. It’s wise to compare deals first and apply only when you’re confident about your choice.
Can I remortgage if my financial situation has changed?
You can remortgage if your financial situation has changed, but lenders will reassess your affordability. If your income has decreased or your expenses have increased, it might affect the deals you’re eligible for. Speaking with a mortgage advisor can help you find suitable options based on your circumstances.
How long does the remortgaging process take?
The remortgaging process typically takes 4-8 weeks, depending on the complexity of your case. It involves assessing your financial situation, valuing your property, and completing legal work. Starting the process early ensures you don’t miss out on the best deals, especially if your current deal is ending soon.
Can I switch lenders when I remortgage?
Yes, you can switch lenders when remortgaging. Switching might give you access to better interest rates or more favourable terms. However, it’s important to compare the costs and benefits of moving to a new lender versus staying with your current one to ensure it’s the right move for you.
What if I have an early repayment charge on my current mortgage?
If your current mortgage has an early repayment charge (ERC), remortgaging might not be cost-effective until this period ends. The ERC is a penalty for leaving your deal early. However, some remortgage deals might offer incentives to cover this cost, so explore your options carefully.
Can I remortgage with bad credit?
Remortgaging with bad credit can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. Some lenders specialise in offering deals to those with poor credit histories, though the interest rates might be higher. It’s advisable to seek guidance from a mortgage advisor who can help you find the best available options for your situation.
