Kerry, Dawn and the rest of the team were brilliant. So responsive to communication and held our hand right the way through, even with post completion queries that as first buyers we had no clue about. Kerry was completely non-judgmental and just wanted the best for us. Would recommend Kerry and Drake Mortgages to anyone and we will be back for further help in future I'm sure!
