I've been using SEM for all of my mortgage needs including my recent re-mortgage. They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful for any needs. Very reasonable costs and fees. Any questions I have had during or after the process have been answered quickly. I recommend them to everyone I can, and they make what can be a stressful process a real breeze. 10/10

South Essex Mortgages were brilliant throughout our home buying process. Billy offered a consistently professional service from the initial consultation through to the day of our move. Billy was always able to answer any questions and responded quickly to all correspondence. We cannot recommend South Essex Mortgages highly enough.
