Absolutely fantastic service this is the 3rd time I've used Dave and his team with a special mention to Leon (this guy is great) who has been my advisor this time to complete my mortgage and everytime it has been the most truthful, helpful, professional and friendly experience I've ever had. They go above and beyond, with excellent advice and communication with no waffle or messing about, they are always at the end of the phone/text/email for any questions or help required. I would recommend them to anyone and from my experience they are much better than using advisors recommended by the estate agents.

Leon helped me through the process and was always helpful and on point. Any issues or jargon I didn't understand completely he was there to clarify. Honestly if I ever have need of their services again I'll definitely be using them and asking for Leon.

Leon helped us find the best deal possible. Re-mortgaging is a bit of a process these days and there's no way I would have had the time to do all of the searching myself, not to mention access the products that were available as a result. PlainSavings helped us find the best deal, at a term that suited our needs and without any hassle. Happy to recommend!
