Mostly good

Very pleasant staff in the office, and communications mostly very good. Ours was an easy sell, so not particularly onerous for RMS. Good advice given re finalising offers. Agents please take care to shut doors/windows/reset alarms after viewings. And it was a good job I checked the figures on completion, as RMS had not deducted the cost of our probate valuation, as promised. Quickly rectified - once pointed out.

Look no further than Neil Walton at the Gosforth branch

If you're looking for a mortgage advisor, look no further than Neil Walton at the Gosforth Rook Matthews Sayers branch! He is absolutely fantastic in all areas of the job, from advice about anything and everything (which was perfect for me as a first time buyer!) to chasing solicitors. Neil is great at answering the phone and emails - you're never left waiting ages for responses. I've never not had a call returned or email responded to by him. On top of his exceptional service, he is the nicest guy you can ever meet and no task is too big or too small for him. I can't thank Neil enough for the service he has given me, I am very greatful and feel very lucky to have chosen such a great person to help me. Neil I am going to miss chatting to you, you've been great throughout the whole process and I can't thank you enough!

5 Star Service From Alistair

Me and my partner came to Mortgage Advisor Alistair Bowman to help us with our first mortgage as first time buyers. We didn’t have a clue what to expect but Alistair made the process so easy and stress free. He was always there to answer any questions and was so professional and friendly. I cannot recommend Alistair more to anyone who is looking to get a mortgage as he made our process so seamless. Thank you RMS and especially Alistair!! We will be back to see you for our next mortgage :)

Unbelievable service

I was selling my mothers home which was an emotional experience but thanks to the staff in the Fenham branch it was completed quickly and professionally. From the very first contact the staff kept me up to date in the process. Her home went on the market on the Friday and an offer accepted on the Monday. The sale was completed within 6 weeks. I could not fault the service or the cost. Would thoroughly recommend iris definitely a 5 star from me.
