Great communication from Michael Williams, start to finish. Very supportive when my house purchase took a lot longer than anticipated. Will definitely come back in the future!

Thanks Hazvi Chimbetete for the excellent service you offered. I appreciate your level of professionalism and the depth of knowledge you possess on mortgage markets, this was really useful in getting our application right first time. Throughout the process until we got the mortgage offer , you were always on top of the situation with our application, navigating through some of the tricky and complex questions as first time buyers on skilled work visa.

I would like to commend the excellent service provided by Karol Wolosiak. I was a first time buyer, at age 66 - I thank Karol for his patience at various confusing times in the purchasing process. Also for sourcing a mortgage for me, despite rather unusual circumstances.

I was uncertain as to whether we should get a mortgage or a bridging loan in order to buy a house before we had sold our existing house. I searched on the internet and came across John Charcol - so glad we did contact them. Initially we were contacted by Patrick Collins who talked through our requirements and explored mortgage options. However, it became clear that we couldn't borrow a sufficient amount based on our income, so he suggested he put us in contact with a Bridging Finance expert in John Charcol - Harry Limburn. Harry was just as professional and evaluated our requirements and suggested two bridging finance companies, one of which has provided the necessary funds to purchase our new home. Once we were in the final stages of the loan process, we were supported by Lily Rechert, who liaised with the finance company and our conveyancing solicitor - holding our hands throughout. Throughout, the experience of using John Charcol and in particular Patrick, Harry and Lily, we were treated with respect (no hard selling), professionally advised and supported and we are delighted with the outcome. I superb company that I highly recommend and would certainly use again if I had a need.

After having several hassles with other mortgage brokers, Shaahid and Louise from John Charcol were amazing! The communication from start to finish was brilliant and they managed to get us a great deal considering the interest rates at the moment. They even managed to tweak the interest rate right before completion as it had gone down. After experiencing such disappointment from other brokers we will only be using John Charcol from now on. HIGHLY recommend.

We found John Charcol through an internet search and immediately we were very impressed compared to other brokers we had considered. Sarang was very helpful and made sure we understood what was required in order to secure our first home/mortgage. He was so helpful in explaining everything each step of the way, and was always very reassuring. We could always rely on him to answer the phone whenever we needed to speak, and keep us updated with everything that was happening. We were able to put an offer in on a dream property thanks to the speed and efficiency we experienced while working with him. Would thoroughly recommend to friends and family on future purchases.

As first time buyers we had no clue what we were doing but thanks to Andrew Ireland we managed to secure our first house/mortgage. We couldn't be happier with his services, he is very efficient in getting the right information to you and from you. Also, Andrew managed to get us a great rate on our mortgage & kept us updated with any changes. We found Andrew through recommendation and will definitely be recommending him and John Charcoal to friends & family! Very happy customers! Thanks again:)

Mark Brazier was able to get us a mortgage for a relatively complicated situation - renting our property in Scotland while we moved overseas for an expat posting in Asia. Our usual mortgage broker couldn’t find a solution for our circumstances so it was good to find Mark who understood our needs.

Paul Butlin was able to structure a complex and difficult mortgage for our new build. He was always quick to answer our growing list of questions, explaining every nuance and gave us the confidence to see the deal through. We would not hesitate to recommend him and his team for the excellent and friendly service received.

I would like to thank John Charcol especially Leigha and Reiss for their support with my recent mortgage application. The process was so smooth and stress free I couldn’t recommend them enough. This is the second time I have used this company and will continue to do so for every application.

Excellent from start to finish. We were in a bit of a unique situation to get a mortgage and Maz (Mufazzal Choudry)has been brilliant at every step. Communication has been clear and helpful and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
