Liquid Expat Mortgages Testimonials

Hear from some of our clients about their experience with Liquid Expat Mortgages.

expat residential mortgage testimonial

­ Many thanks to all the guys at Liquid Expat and the support they gave us to buy our new property. We’d tried our bank for a residential mortgage and wasted so much time that we actually lost our first choice property, let alone the hassle, time and money as we had to provide documents and information from Dubai. We’ve now got a new home and will be moving back to Sheffield from Dubai in the next 2 weeks to settle back into the United Kingdom.

Stephanie & Colin / UK Expats in Dubai
expat residential mortgage testimonial

­ I first contacted Liquid Expat Mortgages in June 20 as I was looking at a property in Manchester or Salford as my son was looking to study at one of the two universities. Liquid remained professional throughout. I would highly recommend Liquid Expat Mortgages to anyone looking for a UK expat residential mortgage as they sorted my needs out quickly and saved me time and money as they organised notaries in Abu Dhabi and UK solicitors as well.

S. Marchant / UK Expat in Abu Dhabi
expat residential mortgage testimonial

­ I enquired about a mortgage as my parents wanted to buy a house in the UK. Although I speak English to a good standard my parents were encouraged that they could also communicate with Liquid Expat as and when they wanted to. Despite the time differences they kept in touch and we always knew that they had colleagues in Hong Kong ready to help. I would highly recommend Liquid Expat Mortgages to all foreign nationals looking to buy in the UK.

We had an excellent experience with Raja Majeed at Liquid Expat. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the mortgage process. He kept us updated every step of the way, explained everything clearly, and was always available to answer our questions, making what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and manageable. Raja’s attention to detail and dedication gave us confidence throughout, and he worked hard to ensure everything progressed as smoothly as possible. We truly appreciated his patience, honesty, and commitment to achieving the best outcome for us. We would highly recommend Raja Majeed and Liquid Expat to anyone looking for expert mortgage advice and outstanding customer service. Thank you for all your help!

My experience with Liquid Expat Mortgages was outstanding. I was incredibly lucky to be allocated Julie, who went above and beyond throughout the entire process. She even stayed up past midnight on one occasion to help move things forward and offered not just professional support, but emotional reassurance too—something that made a real difference in what was a high-pressure situation. Julie is exceptional with complex mortgages and has strong relationships across a wide range of banks, which enabled her to expedite things quickly and smoothly. I’d thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for expert, committed support with expat or cross-border mortgage needs.

Fantastic experience. John and Vanessa have been amazing. Despite our case being more complicated than most, their diligence, perseverance and professionalism at every step of the way meant we were able to secure a mortgage and proceed with a property purchase in the UK as expats from a distance. Their communication is a key strength and one of the main reasons we have now used them twice and recommended them to others. If you are an expat struggling with finding a mortgage - don't waste your time trying to deal with anyone else.

The entire mortgage approval process was impressively quick — it only took around three weeks to complete. Although there was a small misunderstanding at the beginning, it was resolved very promptly. A big thank you to Vanessa and Kenneth for providing regular updates, following up closely throughout the process, and helping to resolve any issues along the way. Their professionalism and responsiveness made the experience smooth and reassuring. Truly appreciate all your support!

An incredible service offered by Liquid Expat Mortgages. David Mowatt totally 'saved my life' with the practical advice and guidance he gave me. He called me within 10 mins of me uploading my details and immediately started to give ideas on what I could try. He then even suggested contacting my existing provider and asking for a 6 Month Payment holiday - which they then granted! I cant thank you enough David for such a gracious, self less act. I shall have no hesitation to recommend your services and come back for any mortgage assistance in the future.
