After a sticky start in terms of progressing the mortgage application the service was very good. All members of staff who dealt with a case ,which had numerous complications given the ineptitude of the solicitor were attentive, focused and communicated progress extremely well.

The re-mortgage process was quite painstaking but Alex and Louise were both fantastic.

Can't fault John Charcoal staff - but the conveyancing companies of their lenders are useless.

Returning to the UK in 2014 after 20 years in Cyprus, and with little capital; my wife (60) and I (86) thought we had no hope of owning our own home again. The article in the Financial Section of The Sunday Times in November 2015, relating to the change of attitude to mortgages for the over 65's, changed our lives. On June 13th 2016, we move into our own bungalow, and without the help, perseverance and sheer determination of our broker, Tom Sandell, this would not be happening. Thank you; our praise could not be higher.

I dealt with Matt Gibson in the first instance who was professional and very knowledgeable throughout the whole process, from start to finish. I am rather forgetful/slow with sorting paperwork, he was very patient and personally I would recommend him to anyone and have done to a fellow colleague. I also like that if he said he would do something, you know it would be done. Happy customer :)

Matt and Louise were excellent but I feel slightly let down when messages were not forwarded to these guys. However, I would recommend you and will use you again in the future.

Communication wasn't the best all the time between the company but the two men who dealt with our mortgage were nice and friendly . took a little longer than expected due to incompetent solicitors !

Sound advise on mortgage opportunities available to us allowed us to buy a property to suit our needs.

Hayley Tutton was extremely helpful and provided a very good level of service to me during my remortgage. I had a bad experience with a broker last time I remortgaged my property but Hayley has helped to restore my faith in mortgage brokers. I found the process stressful at times but Hayley's calm manner was much appreciated at these difficult times particularly as the stress was not something that Hayley had any control over.

Very good start to the process, with Sarah being very proactive and commercial in her advice, and then Helen dealing with the process. The reason for not giving 'very good' is that I found the legal services provided by Optima to be appalling - utterly impersonal, very slow and did not pre-empt issues at any stage, leading to at least a week's delay in the process.

I found the staff to be very helpful and understanding as it is always an anxious time the communication was good and would recommend them to friends and family

Penny, my contact, is pleasant and friendly, efficient and effective. I mortgage and remortgage my BTL portfolio with the minimum of fuss and aggravation - a happy customer!
