Ben was absolutely brilliant…
Ben was absolutely brilliant throughout the mortgage process, keeping us informed at all times and taking proactive steps to ensure a smooth transaction. Ben was also incredibly patient with my other half who was a first time buyer, taking time to explain each step of the application process. I would highly recommend using Octopus Wealth.
First Time Buyer
We had a fantastic experience with Octopus Wealth in helping us to find our mortgage. They were brilliant start to finish
Excellent service and highly recommend!
Ben was recommended to us for the mortgage of our first home. We are very new to this process and did not know anything about what was involved in obtaining a mortgage or the end to end process of buying a home for that matter. He went above and beyond our expectations and we cannot thank him enough. He was available to take a call whenever we needed, and took the time to explain every little thing to us. He made us feel as though no question was silly. He got everything sorted so quickly and efficiently and has just been amazing to work with on this. I will definitely be recommending him and using him again in the future. Thank you so much Ben.
Highly recommended
Brilliant service which left us feeling confident we knew the facts and were making an informed decision. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks!
Knowledgeable, efficient and incredibly smooth process
Could not have asked for a better service! Ben explained the process and options incredibly well and turned what could have been an incredibly stressful and difficult time into a smooth process. He helped me understand my options, what I could afford and under what circumstances. I was particularly impressed how fast the process was completed - having heard from others how difficult theirs was. Ben made such a big impact and managed to arrange everything in the short timeframe that I’d been given by the developer.
Am so happy with the result and can only recommend!
Ben will go the extra mile for you
Ben was truly amazing with all the help and expertise he gave us with our mortgage - nothing was too much trouble- he was always at the end of a phone and he made sure he crossed the t's and dotted the i's. Any stress that would arise would be taken away by Ben - he comes highly recommended and we thank him for making a stressful process streamlined
Outstanding advice and support from Ben
Outstanding advice and support from Ben throughout the process. This was my second property and proved to be a more complicated purchase than my first. I spoke to a number of brokers and Ben was head and shoulders above the rest. He truly went above and beyond to secure an agreement and was incredibly supportive throughout. Would thoroughly recommend.
Mortgage/House Buying Advice
In December 2020 we started the process of looking to buy our first home and was recommended Octopus Wealth through work. Given the pandemic and the stamp duty holiday this process has been more frustrating that normal and we are finally moving house in January 2022.
The support we have received from Octopus has been first class, as inexperienced house buyers we were weary of the process and yet have been reassured every step along the way: nothing has been too much trouble, no question has been unanswered and everything has been handled with urgency, understanding and professionalism.
We were able to seek advice from everything from negotiating prices to searches and mortgages. Without the support we have received I believe this would have been unmanageable and I thank Ben for his considerable effort. At a time when everything was more stressful I am blessed to have had such excellent advice and support.
Ben was instrumental
Ben was instrumental in helping us understand mortgages. Particularly helpful was that the "cheapest" mortgages over their term (2, 3, 5 years etc...) aren't necessarily those that leave you with the least overall debt.
Great customer service and smooth process
I spoke to 3 brokers before signing up with Octopus Wealth, I found that Ben provided me clear, transparent and very considerate answers from right beginning in comparison with the others. I am glad I signed up with Ben to proceed, because I was very worried but actually he made the whole process smooth. Ben was very responsive (usually between instant reply and within the day) to all of my queries. The whole journey did not take that long in my case, which I am very grateful that I got the offer from bank in time for my completion.
JUST AMAZING SERVICE
Amazing Service from Ben at Octopus Wealth, he was so amazing at hand holding me through the mortgage application process, he explained everything very clearly and genuinely gave us a pain free experience from start to finish. I HIGHLY recommend giving them a call.
So happy we changed to Octopus for our mortgage!
We worked with Ben last week on our first mortgage and he was incredibly friendly, organised and efficient. It was such a pain-free experience and he explained everything so clearly. Would 100% recommend!
Professional superstar!
Professional superstar! We worked with Ben and Octopus Wealth for getting a first-time mortgage for a new home and had an amazing experience! Ben was incredibly informative, super responsive, and always helpful and friendly throughout the process. I would highly recommend!
Fast and professional mortgage advice
When our current mortgage lender let us down and refused to lend us the amount we needed for our new house, we turned to Ben Kehoe for help. He worked extremely fast, explained everything clearly to us, and found us a new, much more suitable mortgage within 24 hours. Our completion was delayed for other reasons but Ben did his utmost to put us in a position for swift completion and ensure our transaction went smoothly. Extremely impressed and very grateful!
Fantastic service and result for our re-mortgage
Absolutely cannot fault the service and commitment in securing our remortgage. From the outset Ben was proactive, communicative and professional. The deal we have just completed was at an amazing rate. When the lender came up with a couple of obstacles (not through any fault of Octopus Wealth), they were navigated swiftly, such that the whole process was stress-free and we got funds out of the re-mortgage to make home improvements. Will recommend to everyone I know!
Amazing customer service!
Amazing customer service! Ben was so polite friendly and easy to speak to, he gave great advice . I will be recommending to all my friends and family simply because the service I received could not be faulted.
I have been extremely impressed with…
I have been extremely impressed with the Octopus Wealth process and customer service.
We completed two mortgages with Ben Kehoe and he couldn’t have been more helpful. He found us great products in unusual circumstances, made the process so efficient and responded rapidly to any correspondence. We never would have been able to get such good mortgages without him.
We are also undergoing financial planning with Simon Cahill. We were originally happy with our previous financial advisor but looked into Octopus as they had slight cheaper fees (which made a big difference in the long run). We haven’t finished the process yet but have been equally as impressed with everything we have seen so far; not only his way of simplifying fairly complex topics for us but also the exceptionally high level of customer service we have received.
Overall I could not recommend Octopus Wealth for mortgages and financial planning highly enough.
The best mortgage advisor I have worked with
I have recently completed a complicated house purchase which required several other properties to be re-mortgaged and was extremely time sensitive. Ben was excellent and without his hard work the purchase would have fallen through. I would recommend Ben to any business owner or individual buying a high value property.
First time buyer
As a first time buyer, I was very clueless of what needed to be done but Ben has been very helpful and patient from day one by providing answers to every question. He has been reassuring every step of the way and providing solutions for every set back. I am truly grateful for Ben’s help throughout this process and helping me to get a mortgage. I cannot thank him enough for his help. I would gladly and highly recommend Ben Kehoe and Octopus Wealth to anyone.
Great Customer Experience
A great customer experience with Ben Kehoe and Octopus. After having an initial conversation to understand our needs, our mortgage offer was quickly secured enabling us to have an offer accepted on our first home within days. Would 100% recommend for an efficient service with clear and helpful pointers along the way
