Mike and Kelly at YES Mortgage Services were incredibly helpful and supportive with the process of getting my mortgage and income protection insurance. They were on hand to answer any questions I had and made sure I understood everything as a first time buyer. I’ll definitely be using them again when the time comes to renew!

Mortgage Broker experience with Michael Michael was absolutely fantastic in helping me secure my first mortgage. Initially I got an Offer from my Bank but as rates dropped, they wouldn’t budge unless I completely reapplied. I was then recommended to use Michael. He was able to reduce my rate twice without any hassle. I would not hesitate to recommend him and Yes Mortgages.

Thanks Michael We can't thank Michael enough for his help in finding the right mortgage. With our salary structure and porting our current mortgage, he was incredibly informative, professional and always available when we had a query or needed advice. He always replied in a timely manner and really made the house buying process less stressful. We cannot recommend Mike enough. Thank you again!

A HUGE thank you to Michael at YES Mortgage Services for all of his help in securing me my first mortgage. I honestly wouldn’t have been able to do it without him. The way I’m paid isn’t straightforward and a lot of banks and lenders don’t understand my payslip. Michael made sure that everything was taken into consideration in order to secure me the best mortgage deal. He kept me updated with the progress of it and always made sure we overcame any issues that arose. Absolutely amazing service and I couldn’t recommend Michael more!

Very supportive and responsive to enquiries Michael was so helpful every step of the way and answered all of our questions. It was our first time buying a house, but Michael put as at ease. Not only that, but after applying for a mortgage, we had three revised mortgage offers with a lower rate and it saved us so much money. I would definitely recommend Michael and Yes Mortgage Services

Michael Harris-smith Amazing service with Michael after speaking with many mortgage advisors who basically told me it would never happen, Michael managed to get my mortgage sorted within days. Due to different elements of how my wage is calculated Michael made the whole service seamless and easy. He was on hand through the whole process which was needed being a first time buyer. He explained everything step by step. I can’t express how grateful I am for his service and help and ensuring that buying my own property could be done. Thank you Michael for everything you have done. Will certainly be using again when it’s time to remortgage. I also recommend him to many I work with as he understands the differences in our wages. I write this review from the comfort of my new home!! Thank you again for everything

Thank you Michael Just want to say a massive thank you to Michael. Your service was faultless. You were there any time I needed you and answered any queries I had in a professional and timely manner. I used Michael for a remortgage and a buy out in the same process, he not only helped me but also my ex partner and made the process for the pair of us painless and easy. Thank you for all your support and ensuring the best outcome for us both. The time you gave to us both didn’t go unnoticed and comes with great appreciation and the fact you provide this level of service with no service fee shows a true testament of your character and commitment to your clients. Thank you again.

Michael dealt with our mortgage for our first home and I honestly cannot recommend him highly enough. I had been worried about the mortgage process for years, expecting it to be stressful and complicated — especially as first-time buyers. But working with Michael was the complete opposite. The whole experience was incredibly smooth and stress-free. It genuinely felt like by the time I looked up, everything was already sorted. His communication was amazing throughout. He was always available to answer our questions, explained everything clearly, and supported us at every step. Nothing ever felt too much trouble. Buying your first home is a huge milestone, and Michael made the process feel easy and manageable — something I never thought I’d say about getting a mortgage! If you’re looking for someone who makes the mortgage process simple, clear and stress-free, Michael is absolutely the person to go to.
