I contacted Dezrez Mortgages to arrange a loan on a property i owned. I was greeted by Simran who talked me through the whole process. I was very impressed with the service provided and the deals she was able to source for me. The process from start to finish was smooth and stress free. I will be using Desrez again on my next project and would highly recommend them.

Simran was brilliant — professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful. She’s supported me as well as my brother and sister with great results. I’d definitely recommend her services.

Rosy was a great help in our house move. She was professional, responsive and very personable. She came to us on recommendation and we have since passed her details on to a few others too. Thank you Rosy for all your invaluable help! Not sure how we would have made it through without you!

I honestly can’t thank Rosy from Dezrez Mortgages Ltd.enough for all her help. After being messed around by another mortgage adviser and feeling like I was getting nowhere, I came across Rosy company Dezrez Mortgages Ltd. on TikTok and decided to get in touch. It was one of the best decisions I made during my house buying journey. We had our first conversation on Tuesday, and by Friday I had my mortgage offer. I genuinely couldn’t believe how quickly she got everything sorted. As a first-time buyer, I had lots of questions and was quite nervous about the process, but Rosy explained everything clearly and kept me updated every step of the way. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she was always quick to respond when I needed advice or reassurance. What really stood out was how efficient, knowledgeable, and dedicated she was. After my previous experience, it was such a relief to work with someone who was organised, proactive, and genuinely cared about helping me achieve my goal of buying my first home. I would highly recommend Rosy to anyone looking for a mortgage adviser. The service she provided was exceptional, and I am so grateful for all her hard work and support. Thank you, Rosy – you’ve been amazing!

Derez Mortgages are fantastic! I mainly dealt with Rosy and Simran who are brilliant at what they do. I was told by numerous other advisors it was not possible for me to borrow the amount I needed, yet Rosy and Simran got me a decision in principal for the mortgage I needed! Fantastic customer service, knowledgeable, and great at what they do.

They are most helpful people during the purchase of my flat. They answered my most silly questions with patience, I cannot be more grateful.
