Andrew Ireland was brilliant from day one. Friendly and professional, responding promptly to queries, offering advice above and beyond to keep the process moving forward. We are glad for our first buy to let through a limited company was arranged through John Charcol brokers. Extra lucky to have been given Andrew to work with. Many thanks for all the effort made to a successful conclusion.

Randeep Sodhi managed our remortgage extremely well and was particularly helpful in dealing with the whole process. We look forward to working together again.

My interaction at John Charcol was with a very experienced and knowledgeable person by the name of Lisa Gilsenan. She assisted me with the whole mortgage process from start to finish up until the mortgage offer was approved. Lisa Gilsenan, is a very helpful individual and I highly recommend her as an experienced mortgage broker and consultant who provides an exceptional level of service. Communication with Lisa exemplary and of the knowledge of the overall mortgage market with lenders was of the highest standard and quality. The fees were very competitive and I recommend Lisa and the firm, john charcol. Thank you for your support in achieving a mortgage.

Steven Prior has advised and helped us with our mortgage needs and remortgaging over 8 years. He has always been helpful, knowledgeable, professional and timely in all the dealings we have had with him. He has had an excellent knowledge of what is available and clear with his explanations as to the benefits (or otherwise) of different products. I am happy to recommend him and John Charcol and we would continue to use them in the future.

It was a pleasure working with both Karolina and Eniko . Karolina provided excellent advice which was crucial in choosing the best lender and Eniko kept us updated and followed with other parties to make sure the transaction was running smoothly. Was a great pressure working with you both and thank you very much.

Jenna has worked tirelessly for us for several months, securing a second mortgage offer after our first sale fell through. She has been amazing throughout, keeping us updated and ensuring we received our offers on time. Thank you Jenna for all your hard work.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Athavan Vallipuram from John Charcol, and I couldn't be happier with his service. Athavan's expertise and dedication made the whole mortgage switching and remortgaging process smooth and stress-free. He always kept me in the loop whenever a new and lower mortgage rate came up, giving me all the info I needed to make smart decisions. Thanks to his proactive approach, we reapplied for a lower rate about five times, making sure I always got the best possible interest rate before my existing mortgage ended. I was in touch with Athavan for six months before my deal ended. Being an active person, I did my own research to start at the industry standard time. While I can't speak for the entire John Charcol team, I do think they were on top of things because Eniko Kormendi (Client Relationship Manager) would step in when Athavan wasn't available, and they kept me informed. It was between siriusfinance.co.uk or John Charcol, and the team at John Charcol won my business because Athavan's emails felt genuine and not copy-pasted. Don't get me wrong, Athavan probably has many preloaded scripts, but he used them in a way that felt personal. His professionalism and friendly demeanor really stood out. I highly recommend Athavan for anyone looking for top-notch help with their mortgage needs.

Words can’t express the level of service I received from John Charcol. Thanks to Gareth Johnstone and Stephen Hawley for helping me with my remortgage and protection. Their professionalism and expertise in this field is outstanding! Everything completed in a matter of a couple of weeks. Highly recommended.

We can’t express enough gratitude for the incredible service we received from Heather McLennan as our mortgage broker. From start to finish, Heather was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. She took the time to listen to our needs and concerns, ensuring we understood every step of the process. Heather’s expertise made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth and stress-free. She was always quick to respond to our questions and provided insightful guidance that helped us make informed decisions. Thanks to her, we were able to secure the perfect mortgage, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Now, we can’t wait to receive the keys to our new home!

Heather McLennan​​​​ - Partner - "Simply Outstanding Service!" & "Overage Clause Champion!" Growing up in the 80's the phrase "Who you gonna call?" was answered by everyone shouting "Ghostbusters!!!" If someone asked me who you gonna call to sort your problematic mortgage.... i would be shouting "Heather McLennan at John Charcoal!!!" Wow... I simply can't thank Heather at JC enough for her insight, skill, knowledge, time and commitment to the curve ball that I laid in her lap, which was a last minute 'overage clause' that got thrown into our house move literally weeks before exchange. When we thought our house was rapidly disappearing into the ether because we had no chance of finding a mortgage provider weeks before exchange, Heather took the challenge completely in her her stride, calm, reassuring, friendly and with such a commitment to service, updating regularly with pretty well daily progress options and a plan of action that I welcomed her call ! I cannot recommend John Charcoals services highly enough, but if you want a personal recommendation for someone who can deal with those challenging mortgages or property purchases that you think are unattainable, then ask for Heather... because "if anyone can.... she can!" I won't use anyone else now. Thanks Heather you're AMAZING !!!

Great advice, customer service and response time from both Shaahid Quinn and Louise Cheatle. Got our rates locked in well ahead of time, and that meant a good deal and less stress.
