      Explore Mortgages is committed to supplying a high quality service, providing mortgage advice and financial advice across the UK.

      The decision to take out a mortgage is, for the majority of people, the largest financial commitment they will make in their lives. With the bewildering range of mortgage products available, made all the more complicated in light of the current testing economic conditions, it can be difficult without the benefit of sound financial advice to know which is the most suitable mortgage for you.

      This is where Explore Mortgages come in. Our highly qualified financial advisers will guide you through the maze of mortgage products. Having first discussed your mortgage requirements and gained a full understanding of your financial position, your Adviser will research the market and recommend the product which is suitable for your circumstances. Being part of one of the largest mortgage networks in the UK we are not tied to any one lender but have access to a wide panel of lenders including some deals not available on the high street.

      Our service does not stop at finding the right deal for you. We will complete all the paperwork, submit your application and liaise with all the parties involved throughout the process to make sure everything runs smoothly right the way through to completion.

      YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE

    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      They were very proactive
      Just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the help we've received from Venture Crook during our recent sale and purchase. We didn't know much about all the various estate agents in our immediate area but having looked at the website plus recent reviews there was really only one choice. The way Venture presented properties was so much better than other agents, we felt it was really important to get good photos and Nicola did an amazing job when she came round, the photos were fantastic and we were really happy with the listing and attention to detail. Throughout the whole process of selling Grace and Rachel did a brilliant job of keeping us updated on appointments and gave us great feedback. They were very proactive and we very rarely had to ask any questions ourselves, they always seemed to have thought of everything we might want to know and couldn't have been more helpful, both were so friendly and professional. And when it came to taking us through the whole process of getting the chain completed Angela has just been brilliant at keeping us updated (and calm!) and we really appreciate the massive efforts she went to to get everything sorted. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with and we can't thank her enough. Great team �� we wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Regards Mr & Mrs Buckley

      very professional yet approachable
      Venture Properties were very professional yet approachable during the purchase of our house. We had a lot of contact with Rachel in the Crook branch who was fantastic - she responded promptly and acted on any queries we had, alongside organising multiple visits with the vendor. We were regularly updated with any changes or progress and made the process a lot less stressful and a pleasant experience. Upon collection of the keys we had a warm reception and also a moving in goody bag which was really thoughtful and appreciated. Thank you so much and I would definitely recommend your services for buying a property. Mrs Andrews

      Thank you so much for your first class communication between the purchase of Wards End Cottage.

They were supposed to be a first class Estate Agent top class fees too and we couldn't recommend them to anyone Angela you have kept us up to date each time there was something to report. Which in turn I would ask our Agent why when you have info I have to find out from Venture? I would certainly recommend you as a top Agent Thank you Mr & Mrs Patterson
