Collective review score is 5.0/5 across 1 brokers with ratings — use it alongside specialisms and fee transparency.

First-time buyers should look at Help to Buy alternatives and shared ownership schemes still available through local housing associations. A broker can navigate the various schemes specific to this region.

• Read profiles for fees, specialisms, and how they prefer to work (phone, video, face-to-face).
• Book a first call — use it to test clarity and responsiveness, not just the rate quote.
• Agreement in Principle (AIP) — when you are ready, your broker can run this so offers carry more weight with agents and vendors.
