Kris has just set up a mortgage deal for my partner & I. From the get-go, he was easy to understand & made us feel comfortable to ask any questions at every step of the way. He was always prompt to reply & made efforts to arrange calls at times to suit us at major points throughout the process to discuss options and allow us to confirm what was the best deal for us. It's easy to recommend this kind of service as he worked hard to get what we wanted. Thanks again, Kris!
We've used Derek McGill several times now for new mortgages and remortgages. Derek is very friendly, professional and really understands your circumstances and is brilliant at putting your application in front of the right lender. We've recently done a full mortgage application with him for our new house purchase and we went from application going into the lender to full offer received within three working days. Really impressive service and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Derek and his team. Every penny is a prisoner during a home move/remortgage but it's definitely worth investing in a service that makes the process stress free and usually saves you a lot in the long run as you will end up with the best product for your circumstances.
Derek Watson has walked a path with us for a few years now. His attention to detail, excellence as a broker, and his professionalism are undeniable, but it has been his kindness, care and consideration for us that will stick with us. Through this all, he has been amazing, supportive and always ready to help out even in things not mortgage related. We have come to trust him with so much and we cannot recommend him more highly. We are so impressed with all you have achieved. Thank you for everything, Derek!
Derek McGill and his team are fantastic. They helped us secure our first home in East Kilbride and ensured we got the most out of our money and home. They were so quick, easy and took the time to get to know us as a couple and family. It was a no-brainer to ask for help when remortgaging when our mortgage was due. They have once again secured us on a great fixed rate. We have had conversations about house value and moving within the next 18 months also. Derek and his team will be sure to assist us with our next move. We've been very lucky to have such helpful people that do everything for you. They are a quick phone call away to sort things or help with forms. I thought mortgages and buying was stressful and difficult, but they've made it so easy and enjoyable.
I worked with Derek Watson for my mortgage, and I couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. From start to finish, Derek was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient.

What impressed me the most was Derek’s speed in getting everything done without sacrificing quality. He went above and beyond to secure the best deal for me in record time. Highly recommended!
We went with McGill mortgages for buying our first house and couldn’t recommend Derek and his team more. Derek is super helpful and answered any questions we had. Derek sorted everything for us perfectly and made it a stress-free process! He has also kept in touch with us after moving in to make sure everything went ok. We will be sure to use and keep in touch with Derek and his team in the future.
We are extremely grateful for Derek’s work!. He was the only one who helped us during the festive period when everyone else was on holiday. We were very nervous as first time buyers but he guided us through the whole process with a very friendly, positive and encouraging attitude! He got us a mortgage in record time! It’s been a pleasure working with him. We will recommend him for sure to everyone who needs a professional help! Thank you Derek!!
I received an extremely professional service from Kris. He was always available to answer my messages. Emails and phone calls especially out of normal working hours including Saturdays and Sundays. My remortgage and Protection policy have been arranged stress free by Kris. I honestly cannot believe how easy he made everything. Many thanks for all your help Kris, it’s been an absolute pleasure dealing with you.
As a first time buyer, Derek McGill made the process seamless and stress free and was extremely helpful in finding the best deal. He was patient and explained everything in full detail to two first time buyers. His communication was outstanding, and we were kept in the loop throughout the whole process. Would wholeheartedly recommend McGill mortgages.
As a first-time buyer everything seemed so complicated and surprising but Derek Watson made the whole experience of getting my mortgage easy and stress-free. We received our mortgage offer this morning and we are happy beyond words and thankful to Derek and his team. From start to finish he kept us well informed and communicating with him was so easy. I can't wait to move into my new house and I will recommend Derek and his team at McGill Mortgages.
This is our 2nd time using McGill Mortgages, 1st time was when we moved in together 2yrs ago and the time savings and so much less stress Derek gave to us was very much welcomed. We revisited Derek when due for rate renewal and enlisted the support of Kris who again took the stress out of the process and handled all our paperwork as well as securing us the best deal. Thank you both so much, highly recommended services.
