Hi my name is Darren and I came across Alistair Bowman as recommended though a family member we used him as our mortgage broker though the whole process of buying our first house Alistair was so professional and made us feel comfortable from the offset and explained every stage of the process with us all way to after completion! He sorted our mortgage out also our life insurance and home insurance we literally didn't have to do anything he literally took all the stress off us! we can't thank him enough If you are first time buyer looking to get a mortgage I would highly recommend using this guy! 5 star +++

TrustpilotNeil Mortgage Advisor @ RMS
Neil has been our mortgage advisor for our recent house purchase and we honestly couldn’t recommend Neil enough! From start to finish, he was absolutely brilliant and made what could have been a very stressful mortgage process feel so much easier.

If I could rate higher than 5 star I would. This is the second time I have used Alistair and each time he has been completely flawless and always goes above and beyond to help he really takes the stress out of the whole thing. He has kept me and my wife fully updated through every step of the process and I would not go with any other advisor. Thank you Alistair for all your help. Liam

TrustpilotHighly recommend!
Alistair was brilliant through out the whole process of me buying my house. He always responded quickly to emails, checked in with both calls and emails and was always available to answer any questions. All of the information he gave was easy to understand and I knew exactly what to expect at each stage of the process. He helped to push things along and was able to answer all of my queries making me feel confident during the whole process. Definitely recommend!

GoogleWe were very impressed with the service that Rook Matthews Sayer Morpeth Branch provided us. All staff were friendly and efficient throughout our dealings with them. The thing that most impressed us was the fact that we were kept continuously well informed all through the process of buying our home. There were regular check-ins to update us on how things were progressing. We would highly recommend Rook Matthews Sayer and should we ever decide to move house again we would not hesitate to use them again. Great experience. Big thank you to all staff involved

TrustpilotAlistair Bowman
Alistair Bowman is hands down the best mortgage advisor in the business. Having used Alistair Bowman as my mortgage advisor for the best part of a decade it is clear that I wouldn’t want to use anyone else. Nothing is a problem for him, always communicating throughout the whole process and his knowledge/experience means he is able to answer all questions and queries that I have. 3 remortgages and one full house purchase and not once has there been anything that he hasn’t been able to deal with in as little time as possible. Cannot recommend him enough.

TrustpilotVery disappointing service
Very disappointing service, overpromised and under-delivered. We had to chase; calls weren't returned and had to be chased. They told us differing things at different times, e.g. first, our buyers had their mortgage, then they came in the following week to discuss mortgages, then something different two weeks later. I have raised level of service several times but feel fobbed off and was told it's normal conveyancing.When we raised concerns we have been told "David Jones should have been more on hand to assist with this, however as David is out of the office most of the time it would be impossible for him to do this".

Dear Mr Kay,We are so disappointed to receive your review and believe you have spoken to the branch regarding this. As you can see, we take great pride in the customer service we provide, which is reflected in our 4.8 rating here. We take all feedback seriously and because of this we have looked into this further so we could ensure we fully understood the situation before forming our response. From our database we can see that we sold this property within 2 days of it joining the market and there after see regular contact between yourself and our Sales Progressor in branch, who updated you on each stage of conveyancing when they had new information from your solicitor. Your buyers had a mortgage in principle, they then came in after to choose their product and again to choose a better rate. All of which our team informed you of when it happened. We are sorry you felt there was a lack of communication on our part, however we do our best to retrieve updates from both solicitors to inform each party of any changes in the conveyancing stage and we hope you can understand that some solicitors are easier to get a hold of than others.Kind Regards,RMS

TrustpilotRMS Gosforth are the people to use
I would say most people buying/selling homes find it very stressful, a very long process from start to finish.RMS Gosforth made a good impression on me from day one. I was welcomed into the branch to complete my registration forms. Eve made me feel at ease from the first day.I started getting viewings through for my property almost the next day, I dealt with Richard for my bookings who again was a pleasure to deal with.Once I accepted an offer I then got moved to Natalie who looked after me until completion today. Natalie is efficient and excellent in what she does trying to keep communication with all parties going, it is such a stressful time so having someone like Natalie keeping you informed ever step of the way is what everyone needs. (everyone needs a Natalie) !!!!I did speak to others in the Gosforth branch who again were super helpful sorry I can't remember everyone's names.If you are thinking of selling/buying then RMS Gosforth are the people to use.Thank you Natalie for getting my property over the line.

A special thank you to Alison & Lisa for getting us in straightaway to view. We had our offer accepted the same day & could not have been more thrilled. Our purchase overall took just under 2 months.

TrustpilotMy partner and I are first time buyers…
My partner and I are first time buyers and were recommended Alistair Bowman as our mortgage advisor by a close friend. Alistair exceeded our expectations. As first time buyers we did not know what to expect and Alistair talked us through every step of the process, ensuring we had all of the information required to make decisions whilst reducing our stress levels massively. It was not an easy process and we had to renegotiate our agreed sale price due to property valuation. Alistair liaised with the estate agents on our behalf as part of the renegotiation process and we do not feel we would have been able to secure our property without his knowledge and support. Alistair is extremely professional, knowledgeable and an all round lovely person. We would highly recommend his services and will continue to seek support from Alistair when remortgaging in the future.

Excellent service provided by Rooks Matthews Sayer, regular contact maintained, explained the whole process in detail and made sure I understood every step. Very honest about the whole process and I felt assured I was receiving the best deal and best advice. Alistair was my mortgage broker throughout the process and I could not have asked for a better service. I received regular emails and phone calls to update me about my progress, and he actioned everything in a timely manner. This was my first property I was purchasing, and they helped make the process simple and efficient.

I came to RMS Whitley Bay after offering on a house through their Gosforth office. Alison came out to my house very quickly and got it on the market within 2 days. Lisa took over and helped me achieve asking price only a week later. Thereafter, Suzanne was instrumental in keeping the large chain together and securing our dream home. We could not be more grateful to the team at RMS Whitley Bay.
