Avenue & Co Private Finance

"I have worked with Ketan for 17 years. He is one of the best mortgage advisors I have come across. Not only does he know the technicalities of mortgages and the wider personal finance field. He understands your individual circumstances and advises way beyond the technicalities. I always get an amazing service, fast responses and tailored products for my situation. I would highly recommend working with Ketan at Avenue & Co Private Finance."

"I can't recommend Ketan at Avenue & Co any more highly. I had first class service from the first day. Initially, I tried to find a mortgage deal myself with no end and then tried brokers from comparison sites which turned up to be no help at all. Ketan was recommended by a friend who he also helped with their purchase. Ketan looked at my file and knew exactly which lenders to approach to avoid getting refused and get best rates. In all the mortgage rate rise frenzy he skilfully managed to secure me an amazing rate even before he submitted a full application. His 25 years experience in the field and care for his clients absolutely shows at every step of the way. Ketan charges a very small fee for the mount of help and the kind of personal service you get - I couldn't have done it without him. Avenue and Co even helped after the mortgage offer to chase the lender and kindly nudge the solicitors. Definitely asking Ketan to deal with my next mortgage application."

"We just had our exchange and completion for our first home. Ketan has been our mortgage advisor since March 2022. During this time we went through two cycles of prospective purchases which involved considerable stress for us as first time buyers. In addition all this happened in the wider climate of economical uncertainty. Ketan has been magnificent in carrying us through the whole process in arranging our finances. This involved obtaining an initial mortgage offer for one property, then transferring the same mortgage offer (with the favourable interest rate) to the second property - and whilst the interest rates climate was rapidly deteriorating - and securing an extension to the original mortgage offer. This enabled us to secure the property of our dreams at the best possible rate. This whole process involved considerable stress for us but Ketan had always had a listening ear and an empathic attitude. He has been tremendously responsive in his communications and containing our anxiety and helping us deal with the uncertainties throughout the way. He was also proactive in his communications with our solicitor. We felt we had the best "comrade" we could have had in the "battle" for our first purchase in the climate of huge uncertainty, and this happened in the best possible financial terms with us. For all this we are immensely grateful."

"I have known Ketan for a long time and he is a fantastic professional. Over the last ten years Ketan has helped me with the mortgage products that were adequate for my several rental properties. He has also helped with the mortgages for the different properties I have lived in with my family. Ketan has a lot of knowledge, he is very thorough and always advises wisely. He always looks into every detail to find the right product for your own circumstances. He is very proactive and lets you know of the foreseeable changes in the market and how it could impact your portfolio. Finally, Ketan is a very pleasant person to deal with and talks in layman terms making you feel comfortable about your ignorance."

"If I could give one single piece of advice to anyone looking to buy a property, maybe for the first time, it would be to trust Ketan to find the best deal for you! Our personal journey finding the right property and mortgage has been a long and bumpy one, and Ketan was with us from the very beginning. Being first time buyers, there were so many things we didn’t know, and if it wasn’t for him and his knowledge I don’t think we would have made it this far. Ketan has been extremely patient and guided us through every step of the process, giving us the tools and knowledge to make our own decisions and understand what’s best for our circumstances. But most importantly, he managed our expectations and kept our hopes up after every setback we faced, confident that he would find the best deal for us. Things worth having never come easy, and a few months down the line we couldn’t be happier to be moving boxes into our new home. A massive thanks from the bottom of our hearts to Ketan who went above and beyond to make this possible!"
