We had a fantastic experience working with Vishal Poppat as our mortgage adviser. His knowledge and expertise were evident from the outset, and he guided us through the process with clarity and confidence. Vishal was always available to answer our questions—no matter how small—and he consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. His professionalism, attention to detail, and calm approach made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable and even enjoyable. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Vishal to anyone looking for expert mortgage advice.

Had the best experience I could have asked for with EFS, specifically because of Colin! He was so helpful, thorough, supportive and was there to talk at the drop of a hat. He explained everything so it was actually easy to understand, was so open and this has honestly been the smoothest process ever because of him. I have heard horror stories about mortgages and I was apprehensive about the process but I couldn't have asked for a better advisor. I have recommended Colin to my friends and family, and I will absolutely stay as a customer of his! THANK YOU COLIN!!!!!!!

Your initial mortgage appointment is without obligation. We normally charge a fee for our services; however, it is payable only on the submission of your mortgage application. The fee will depend on your circumstances but our standard fee is £549. Complex cases usually attract a higher fee. We will discuss and agree the fee with you prior to submitting any mortgage application.
