We had a shaky start with John Charcol due to staff turnover. Considering we were very advanced into the process, we suddenly had to start all over again due to two of the staff that were dealing with our case leaving. The most frustrating thing was being asked, by different people, for every single document and information that we had already submitted. However, once one of the agents became our only key contact everything worked very quickly. It is a shame that we experienced the frustration at the beginning because once Louise Onn took responsibility for the process, it was plain sailing.

I have used John Charcol twice now, both times with broker Sarah Dormer. She has been absolutely fantastic & she gets the mortgage you need! We had some problems along the way & Sarah just made me feel at ease & that’s not easy to do lol. Don’t think you won’t get a mortgage without talking to Sarah first. It is down to her that we are in our new house & so unbelievably happy!! We will always use Sarah & John Charcol for any future purchases. Just can’t thank Sarah enough, she’s just fabulous!!!

Outstanding. Do not use anyone else. Wish I had used them 2 years ago after an appalling service with Halifax

Always took my call, very helpful and responded promptly. Helped to chase up Lender and Solicitors. I would like to say special thank you to Mark Waghorn who went through application and a big thankyou to Iain Rossi who exceeded expectation went the extra mile when things got delayed. Thank you Iain

Ignorant agents who do not respond to email enquiries or honour meeting commitments, i.e. non-attendance.

I worked with Kathryn Toomer and David Ford for my mortgage, and I'm very happy that I did. Every level of service was fantastic, from the initial stages of figuring out what we could afford to borrow and working with our unique circumstances on a JBSP mortgage, all the way through to completion. We were in constant communication throughout, so I always knew exactly where my case was, and Kat and David we very responsive to my calls and emails. They took the stress out of my mortgage application. Thank you!

They have been awesome from the start, they completed my mortgage on record time (less than 10 days). The service was excellent, they really went the extra mile with me due to the urgency of completing on record time or lose 30% deposit. Special thanks to Riza Jerusalem and Jake Taylor Croft.

I can not begin to tell you how grateful I am to have been introduced to Sarah Dormer & Michelle at John Charcol. I was buying my first property and didn't know a thing about the process. She held my hand all the way through, she was so professional and helpful without her I simply would not have managed to get the property I so badly wanted. Thank you so much!!

After using John Charcol to secure our mortgage 2 years ago we did not hesitate to get in touch to arrange our re-mortgage. Stephen Brown was exceptionally helpful throughout both processes and I would highly recommend; communication was excellent and extremely helpful and attentive in ensuring the best deal for us.
