My partner and I were first time buyers, and the help we have had from John Charcol has been second to none! Penny Ives has been a wonderful mortgage broker and helped secure us an offer we were happy with, giving us loads of support and updates throughout the process. David Donaghy, along with Lily Rechert have also helped us with income protection and life cover, and have also been great throughout, providing help and information whenever needed and helping us get the cover we need. Thanks again, and I would recommend John Charcol to anyone looking to buy a house!

We worked with Shak Bhairon as our mortgage broker during the almost 12 months it took to complete our sale, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. As first-time buyers, we ended up facing an unexpectedly stressful and complicated sale with endless delays, but Shak was our constant source of guidance, reassurance, and determination. She kept us informed at every stage, worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep things moving with solicitors and lenders, while also continually securing the best possible mortgage rates throughout the process. Her professionalism was matched by her kindness, patience, and unwavering positivity, which honestly kept our spirits up during what was sometimes an incredibly overwhelming and emotional process. Shak was a trusted advisorand we're so grateful for her hard work, expertise, and the personal touch she brought to our home-buying journey: we couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

The support from Holly Grant was superb in helping us achieve our Life Insurance goals - not rushed and great attention to detail - Holly took great care to find the right solution for us. We are very grateful for her help and support. I would highly recommend Holly to anyone. I also thank Darren Small for the intro after all of his superb help initially with out mortgage - great firm!

My mortgage application was not a straightforward one, my age and the fact that all my earnings were from overseas were the main contributing factors. However with the help of Shak I was able to get over the line and am now in my new home ! I cant recommend the services of John Charcol and Shak highly enough. Safe hands !

We have been so pleased and grateful for the service we have received from John Charcol in respect to our Life Insurance and Home Insurance. Holly Grant and Zerena Taylor have shown us extreme patience during our house-buying process when we lost one purchase after the other---. Whenever we think of any of these services, we immediately think to contact John Charcol because of their fantastic customer service and their professional recommendations of products. Well done, everyone!

We have just completed a remortgage with David Pudney at John Charcol who is always efficient and reliable. He has a very professional attitude towards his clients. Thoroughly recommend him to friends and family and have been using John Charcol, for some years, very happily.

Outstanding Service and Expertise I had a fantastic experience working with my life broker, Samm. From the very beginning, they were knowledgeable, transparent, and genuinely focused on finding the best solution tailored to my needs. They took the time to explain all the options clearly, answered every question with patience, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What stood out most was their professionalism and commitment to ensuring I felt confident and informed at every step. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and expert advice in this space. Thank you for the excellent service!

Had my remortgage carried out by John Charcol and dealt with Thomas bridle for my protection review. Thomas was professional and communicated throughout the whole process and managed to find me a better deal than the protection I already had in place.

Was struggling with other brokers for over 3 months to get an offer after so many promises, I was skeptical at first but Hannah was brilliant. All the team asked the questions and after providing them with what they required, they explained everything and managed to get us an offer that was amazing. My big thanks to Hannah, Hollie, Lizzy and Nick for their communication and excellent updates and professionalism in this case. We are so grateful beyond words. For us as a newly married couple, they have given us a home!

After I’ve been through probably all possible mortgage brokers I’ve decided to contact John Charcol . What a brilliant team . Professional, transparent, always ready to help . I have been working with a young lady called Becky . I really hope that girl will get a good raise or bonus for dealing with customers like me . So professional, so kind and reassuring. I could not recommend these people more .

I have been using John Charcol for a while now and Louise Henderson has always been excellent, friendly, personable, helpful, reliable and responsive. This remortgage is the first time I have utilised the Protection Advisor part of the service. Thomas Birdle has helped me to find income protection and critical illness cover. I also have had a great experience with Thomas. He has guided me through the process and was clearly knowledgeable of the market. He uses a client centred approach and was meticulous in identifying my circumstances and needs to find the best plan for me.

Shaun handled our remortgage of a buy to let property. He was excellent, polite and professional throughout. Shaun thoroughly qualified our needs at the outset, then identified a product and saw it through to approval. Shaun also regularly checked the market to ensure we were getting the right deal. From there, Chantelle then saw things through to completion. We would not hesitate to use John Charcol again and hope to be assigned to Shaun and Chantelle again. Great service. Thanks guys!
