Thank you very much to Mr. Karol Wolosiak for helping me obtain a loan for our first house. Full professionalism and commitment in his services. We received an offer from the bank within a week. Excellent communication between us, Mr. Karol tried to take care of our matters even during his vacation. Recommended to anyone who wants excellent service. I will definitely use your services again. Thanks again.

Samm is incredibly persistent, but in a great way. She clearly loves what she does and helping people get the best cover for them. I would always trust her to give the best advice as she delivers time and time again. Thanks Samm.

Andrew Ireland has been the best mortgage broker I have ever used. I have 10 houses on various mortgage deals so I have dealt with him on multiple occasions. He is very prompt to respond, has an excellent knowledge of the confusing range of mortgage products and is always very easy to communicate with. I recommend him unreservedly.

Bruce Anderson at John Charcol was an amazing support to us when securing our mortgage. Over the past 3 years of searching for a property, Bruce guided us through the mortgage process and always gave us valuable insights from his many years in the industry. We really appreciated Bruce's expert knowledge, clear communication, and patience and would highly recommend his service.

We used John Charcol as our mortgage broker for a recent purchase of our new residential home. Our broker David Pudney was was extremely helpful start to finish. He was always on hand to answer any questions and very prompt with his replies. He made us feel very comfortable with the mortgage we chose and gave us some great mortgage deals we could not find ourselves. We will 100% be using David again in the future when we decide to purchase another property. Thanks again for all your help.

I needed an international mortgage and I was put in touch with Gordon Burkert and Louise Cheatle. They helped me find a deal and then held my hand throughout the process. And they were very polite and helpful. Recommended!

Very happy with the advice given to me by Mark B. He found a fixed term product which was exactly what we wanted at a competitive rate, especially considering the current increases in interest rates. Once our offer had been accepted, Jenny kept us fully up to date with progress and was always available to speak to over the phone if I had any queries. Would def recommend John Charcol based on my experience.

I was very happy with the service offered by John Charcol. Shaun Boyle kept me intermittently updated about rates during a fairly tumultuous period in UK interest rate updates. The service is not cheap but it was useful for a non resident landlord seeking a new mortgage.

Great support and communication in finding us an ex-pat remortgage for our house in the UK. Thanks to Shaun Boyle, Iain Rossi and the team for the help and patience, as it took us a while to sort paperwork for the solicitors from here in Australia. Recommended.

Outstanding service and advice from Shaahid at John Charcol from start to finish. He supported when needed without pushing and provided prompt answers to questions. Great support by Scott with regular contact to ensure process was running smoothly. I highly recommend John Charcol.

My experience with John Charcol was largely positive, thanks to the diligent efforts of their mortgage broker, Reiss, who worked hard to find the most suitable product for me. He is quite professional and possesses a wealth of knowledge in the mortgage field. However, when my situation changed and I wanted to explore the option of a company mortgage, his busy schedule didn't allow him time to investigate such a mortgage, which was a disappointment. The sales associate, Leigha, was exceptional with her prompt responses and timely reminders, demonstrating an admirable commitment to customer service. Despite some room for improvement, the overall service provided by John Charcol was commendable, and I am grateful for the assistance of both Reiss and Leigha.

Samm has been incredibly helpful throughout the process of sorting out life insurance. No question went unanswered and all information was explained in great detail.

After having moved to the USA and whilst we enjoying a super low rate on our UK homeowner owner mortgage, the time came to switch mortgages to a non-UK resident BTL mortgage... During a tense period of seeing rates rise and existing lending only offering SVR + 3% = 8+% at the time, and slow to no response from our current bank (6-8months for remortgage) . I reached out to John Charcoal , having used them in the past and could'nt have been happier as the closed quickly and with a great deal. Mark B. worked across the timezones to advise and collectively we put a plan together to get the right and best deal in a super timely fashion.(Submitting applications 30mins before cutoff on a Friday afternoon !!) Fiona A, our assigned team leader, again worked outside of usual timezones to keep communicate and process efficient, fast flowing across the lenders, solicitors and us ! In summary, great advice, super team (thanks again Mark B & Fiona A), fast process.

I first reached out to John Charcol in a flustered stage and Gemma C swooped in and saved the process from the beginning. From the start Gemma C has been helpful and attentive with my circumstances and even acknowledges the time difference to call. Iain R and Cristian L were also great helps with check in's and keeping me up to date throughout the process. The team has been very positive in finding a mortgage solution to my case. Im truly grateful for finding them :)

Our adviser Andrew Ireland has been absolutely brilliant, during a very long and fairly complex process of remortgaging. We’ve used him several times now for properties and really cannot recommend him and John Charcol enough. Andrew was extremely good at explaining financial complexities, very diligent and proactive in providing regular updates and got us over the line with our remortgage, finding us a very good product in this challenging market. We wouldn’t consider using any other company!

Under somewhat challenging circumstances Damien Smith worked diligently and tirelessly to ensure we got a mortgage that met our requirements. He was not helped by the current financial circumstances in the market so we are absolutely grateful to Damien for getting us across the line. Thank you Damien!
