Meet John Wilson, mortgage broker

Interest rates dropped in August, for the first time since March 2020, which was swiftly followed by an increase in property enquiries, according to Rightmove research.

One of the key steps for a smooth home-buying process is to secure the services of an experienced mortgage expert. Their advice and support are crucial, says Fife-based mortgage broker, John Wilson.
