Rachel is nothing short of fantastic. Gave us so much time and was amazing at explaining things to us clearly as we had never had a mortgage or even applied before. From start to finish nothing was ever too much. Our experience as a whole with Mather and Murray has been amazing and we would highly recommend.

Lovely people, both Kate and Sue were very reassuring on a subject I find stressful. Kate produced a plan for my pension that fulfilled all I required. During the transfer process, Kate constantly sent updates and we had further conversations so she could provide an outstanding service for me. Everything went smoothly, and I am truly grateful to her knowledge and professionalism during a difficult time.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Jonathan, for your thoughtful review. We’re so pleased Kate and Sue were able to put you at ease and support you throughout the process.

Steve has managed to explain everything clearly and concisely and has come up with a plan tailored to my situation. I now feel much more secure and confident in the future. He is knowledgeable, professional, and personable. If you need to sort out your retirement finances, I highly recommend Steve at Mather and Murray.

Many Thanks. :-)

We used Sean to assist us in selling our 1st property and ending that mortgage and then buying our new home, finding the best mortgage to suit us and then setting everything up. Along with improving our life insurance, critical illness and income cover. From start to finish Sean was brilliant and a great help with everything and anything. When the process got delayed or obstacles came up he was always on hand to help, check in or make recommendations. We would highly recommend Mather and Murray and Sean and his expertise

I was put in touch with Mather & Murray from unbiased.co.uk as I felt in need of advice in selecting an annuity - I thought I knew what I was looking for, but since the decision is final and irreversible, it seemed like a good idea to get professional advice if only for a second opinion. Mather & Murray contacted me the same day - and assigned Kate Ricks as my advisor - from day one the service provided was excellent, answered all my questions, and guided me to the right decision - explanations were always available even on the trivia, - no question too daft!. Genuinely professional, reassuring and brilliant service 10/10 - Thanks Kate

Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear that Kate was able to provide the reassurance and guidance you were looking for when making such an important decision. It's great to know that she took the time to answer all of your questions and explain everything clearly throughout the process. We believe there’s no such thing as a daft question, so we're pleased you felt comfortable seeking clarification whenever you needed it. Your kind words about Kate's professionalism and support mean a great deal, and we'll be sure to pass on your feedback to her. Thank you for choosing Mather & Murray Financial, and for placing your trust in us.
