Our approach
Finding out about you and your needs
Our aim is to find out about you, your current situation, the type, and cost of the property you would like to buy or remortgage. This will help assess your circumstances and show the best way to proceed.
Searching for the best product
Once we fully understand your personal situation, our experts will search through a comprehensive range of mortgages in the marketplace to find the right one to suit your needs.
Presenting you with the solution
Once we are happy that we have the right solution for your needs, we will present this to you in an easy-to-understand document, and you can ask any questions that you may have.

Just wanted to say how helpful Tim was with our remortgage this summer. From the outset and the first phone call, he gave us reassurance and put our minds at rest. The service Tim provided from this point was first class, efficient and we felt supported throughout the whole process. He always without fail answered our calls and emails immediately in a calm and professional manner. We would not hesitate to recommend Optimus Mortgages to any friends and family and if needed would use his services without question again.
