The Independent Mortgage Store is a boutique, privately owned brokerage with a strong reputation established over more than 25 years.

Operating independently ensures the advisors are not tied to specific lenders, allowing them to search thousands of mortgage products. This flexibility is highly beneficial for clients with unique financial circumstances.

The firm is noted for its highly personalised service. Core advisor Gerry is widely commended for explaining the mortgage process patiently, ensuring clients feel supported.

Advisors often go beyond sourcing mortgages, assisting with solicitor recommendations and explaining insurance options.

The team also demonstrates keen market awareness. Case histories show instances of expediting applications ahead of anticipated interest rate increases, securing better terms for clients.

However, as a boutique operation, capacity is limited. Early contact is recommended to secure their services.

Pros

  • Independent
  • Access to a wide range of products
  • Ideal for complex cases
  • Personal and supportive service
  • Goes beyond mortgages
  • Market awareness
  • Strong client relationships

We would definitely go to them again in future

“Gerry at the Independent Mortgage Store was incredibly helpful, offering us clear, expert advice and patiently answering our questions to help us understand the process and the products on offer. Homebuying and mortgages can be complicated and stressful, so Gerry’s help was really appreciated. We would definitely go to them again in future.”

Eleanor Hilton, Google review

Gerry was amazing to deal with

“We contacted the Independent Mortgage store for assistance with our re-mortgage. From supplying our final document to offering was less than 48 hours! Gerry was amazing to deal with, and we will 100% be using them again when we move.”

West End Mortgages

Address

9 Fitzroy Pl, Finnieston

Phone: +44 141 378 9271 Business hours:

  • Monday: 8:45 am to 7 pm
  • Tuesday to Friday: 8:45 am to 5 pm
  • Saturday to Sunday: Closed

Website

West End Mortgages maintains a limited client intake to ensure each case receives focused attention.

The brokerage is particularly well regarded for its responsiveness, which is crucial when property negotiations are time-sensitive. Clients report securing a mortgage in principle on the same day they identified a property.

This rapid turnaround can be the deciding factor in securing a competitive purchase.

The firm utilises an online document portal to streamline the submission of administrative paperwork.

As an independent broker, West End Mortgages accesses the entire market, including exclusive rates not available to the public or via direct lending.

The service operates on a fee-paying model, which may be less attractive to those specifically seeking a fee-free broker, though clients consistently report the fee represents excellent value.

Pros

  • Personal attention
  • Fast turnaround
  • Smooth and straightforward process
  • Online document portal
  • Access to the whole mortgage market
  • Extra protection planning

Absolutely fantastic from day one

“Myself and my partner would highly recommend West End Mortgages to anyone. Graeme was absolutely fantastic from day one, very friendly and always made sure we were well informed on everything that was happening! Thank you, Graeme and Emma for all your hard work and for making this such a smooth process. Best wishes for the future!”

Scott Sinclair, Google review

The process was very smooth, thanks to them

“I asked Graeme at West End Mortgages to source a mortgage for me at pretty short notice; the process was very smooth and I got a mortgage offer in principle within a week. The portal used to upload various documents is very easy to use. There is no way I would’ve been able to do this on my own in the timeframe I had, and I am very grateful to Graeme and Emma for their patience and clear explanations. In the grand scheme of the costs of moving, the relatively small fee charged for their services is more than worth it and removes a layer of stress that no one needs in the midst of everything else you need to sort out when buying a new home.”

Pros

  • Personal service
  • Dedication and commitment
  • Strong market awareness

His knowledge and guidance throughout really gave us confidence

“As first time buyers Dean made everything so straightforward and stress-free. He was incredibly helpful, patient, and always quick to respond to our questions. His knowledge and guidance throughout really gave us confidence, and he explained everything in a way that made it easy for us to understand. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better advisor to help us secure our first home. Thank you, Dean!”

Donald John Wilson, Google review

Very informative and always prompt with responses

“10/10 service! Dean is warm, pleasant, and friendly to speak with. He was very informative and always prompt with responses. He managed to secure me a mortgage deal I’m more than happy with. Great for first-time buyers who haven’t a clue what they’re doing (like me!). Would definitely come back to Dean in the future for any other mortgage needs. Thanks Dean!”

Long-term client relationships are a priority, with the broker maintaining contact over extended periods to assist when market conditions are optimal.

Gracie Lee, Google review

Martin explained everything very clearly and was extremely helpful

“Martin was recommended to me by a friend from work, and I could not be happier with the service he provided. He made applying for my first mortgage very straightforward and stress-free. Martin explained everything very clearly and was extremely helpful, always happy to answer any questions. I would highly recommend using Martin as your mortgage advisor, and I will certainly be using him again when the time comes to remortgage.”
