A Family Business


WHY 3 KEYS?
A message from our director
Having worked in the property and financial advisory industry for over a decade, I felt the sales and service methods my employers expected me to follow; didn't align with my own service standards in this modern world. Archaic and manipulative sales processes which waste my clients time, in order to secure their business for the highest fee possible, just didn't sit right with my moral code. I don't want to rush people out of the door so I can get to the next customer, streamlining my service so I can maximise sales, I prefer to streamline my sales process, so I can provide the best level of service.
Finding it difficult to change these large corporations from the inside, I decided to create my own company which will follow my ethos of putting the customer first, offering them only what they need, providing a service which works around them, focused on saving them money and time, and with no pressure.
At Three Keys Mortgage Consultants you will receive nothing less than the best,
that's my personal promise to you!

Our Evolution
In response to the challenges posed by the Covid pandemic, we invested heavily in technology to ensure that our services could reach clients nationwide without the need for face-to-face meetings. This innovation allowed us to offer a smooth, personalized mortgage journey from the comfort of your home. We've even partnered with solicitors who provide remote services, ensuring a comprehensive and convenient process from start to finish.

At 3 Keys Mortgages, we pride ourselves on moving away from the outdated, cumbersome ways of traditional mortgage services. Our forward-thinking approach leverages modern technology to make the mortgage process quicker, easier, and more enjoyable, while still upholding the foundational principles that have stood the test of time.

Our three keys to success—Integrity, Expertise, and Client Satisfaction—are at the heart of everything we do.

Expanding Horizons
In 2023, we broadened our horizons by launching 3 Keys Real Estate in the Algarve, Portugal.
