Me and my partner used Chris to support us in the purchase of our first home. I first contacted him in January, and we finally got the keys in... October. Chris was also so supportive and knowledgable, helping us understand everything surrounding the process of buying a house. Whenever I was unsure or needed help, Chris was always prompt at responding to any queries and very informative. We always felt reassured that even when we didn't know what we are doing, Chris did and I genuinely feel we wouldn't of been able to buy our home without his support. He also recommended a solicitor to use who was incredible and just as valuable in the process as Chris had been. We put all our trust in Chris and he definitely exceeded any expectations we had of a mortgage advisor. Every single penny well spent and I would 100% recommend.read more

Chris at Vision Mortgages has repeatedly given time and effort into helping us find the best mortgage available at a time when rates were rising.

Chris Southworth was recommended to us by a friend and I'm so pleased we took their advice. I couldn't be happier with the service Chris provided. He... made the process of getting a mortgage for our first house so straight forward and stress free. We had a couple of delays but Chris was always very patient and understanding. He worked incredibly quickly to get our application completed, updated us on any changes immediately and replied quickly to queries. We live a fair way from his office but everything was completed easily through email and over the phone. I can't say enough good things about him, trustworthy and hardworking, I will definitely be returning once our fixed rate has expired.read more

Chris went above and beyond to help me find the best mortgage for my first purchase. I was completely new to everything and he gave clear... information and advice. He helped me navigate through the complications of a shared ownership mortgage and new build. He also advised me of the best insurance options that would suit both my requirements and needs . Felt very confident with the advice he was giving me, didn’t feel any pressure to agree to anything and he put up with my ignorance and million questions. Nothing was too much trouble. Communication was clear both via email and via the online portal, very useful to have everything electronic. More than happy to use Vision mortgages again.read more
