What people are saying...

I’ve been working with Craig at Mortgage Required for many years and he’s recently helped me secure a mortgage on my new home. I’m always impressed with his services, he’s incredibly responsive and turned the offer in principle around exceptionally quickly to ensure we could secure the purchase having made an offer on our forever home.
Extremely happy with their service and I will continue to use Mortgage Required moving forward
