My name is Najmin Akhtar and I just want to say a massive thank you to Erin and her team for sorting out my remortgage, she explained everything clearly and dealt with me with care. I am very impressed with the service received and can't fault in anyway. I will definitely be recommending my family & friends to simply finance, and will be contacting Erin soon to sort out my other properties???? Thank you Erin for your assistance.

Hi, well we nearly alway deal with Sarah Crampton Barden and she has been exemplary during the years we have been associated with your company. I am a retired financial advisor and we do make here work hard, due in part to the pitfalls we know exist, we ask many of the difficult questions some might not. So 100% for Sarah

The loan company were too pedantic and use very cumbersome methods. However, the SF ladies Rachael and Emily were first rate. I would and indeed will, use SF again

I found SF to be very straight forward and easy to work with, when one lender didnt work out, Dave Cornford was quick to find a replacement and we moved swiftly though a remortgage. Helen Butler was the progressor and she kept us up to speed with Gordons lawyers who were also very efficient.

Keen, accommodating, knowledgeable, persistent, efficient and friendly, are just a few things to recommend Simply Finance.

I think a bit more professional headed brokers are required, they carry the brand name and represent the company . If issues occur with the broker the customer are entitled to feedback to the company Simply Finance not the outsourced freelance broker themselves. I feel that Simply Finance need to take ownership on customer queries.

Whilst we appreciate your help with obtaining the mortgage I am frankly shocked that e mails regarding the mortgage where both my husbands and I would be responsible for the debt were only sent to my husband. There was only one e mail that I was copied in. My husband sent me this review our service - not yourselves!! Frankly it is oppressive to women and I'm somewhat shocked you did not e mail me also regarding the fact the mortgage went through!! You are women, you should know better and frankly I'm offended.

We're sorry you feel that way, however we don't feel your comments are justified. Our system can only store 1 email address for case updates, many of which are automated to ensure the fastest communication. The email entered is selected by the customer, not ourselves.

We highly recommend simply finance. Erin and Helen dealt with our remortgage and I must say they were fabulous. Kept us informed all the way by text ,emails and telephone calls. They always got back to us if we had any concerns and made us feel valued. We came across this company by searching the web and I must say we had concerns as we had no idea if anyone could help us. So glad we found you, I feel a new door has opened for us and the future is looking good. So thank you. K. Hodgson.

You make the whole process even Longer . You also try to confuse people and the whole process can be done much more efficiently without simply finance. Totally Usless .I had to tell broker of this product was not told by him and communication between your people who should be assisting is ridiculous . Please share comment with who you like . I won't be using you again???? Thank you ????

In January 2015 I decided to cash in my private pension as I wished to purchase a property. With all the publicity concerning the change and being aged 74 I decided I needed some help as I only required to take some of my entire pension and re invest the remainder with a "Drawdown" in case I needed further income. I found "Simply Finance" by way of the Government free hand book and my financial adviser Steve Davis could not have been more helpful. He handled everything for me and he was always available to speak with in case of any question I had. I would certainly recommend "Simple Finance" Colin Steed

After sending the papers to the wrong solicitor our costs increased by £150 for the loan interest and extra solicitor time while this loan offer was sent to the correct solicitor -so not impressed at all

Excellent service received from all parties at Simply Finance. As with all services, communication is key and I couldn't fault the communication received from Hayley Tutton the Mortgage Broker through to the processing team. Our needs were listened to and at no point were we pushed to take any product that we didn't need or want. Would highly recommend this company to anybody who wants a straight honest talking service

I'm really not sure what value Simply Legal added to the process.
