“We had a great experience with James Clark as our protection advisor. He made the whole process of sorting out our insurance simple and stress-free, explaining everything clearly and making sure we had the right cover in place for our circumstances. We really appreciated his support and responsiveness throughout and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others.”

“Raza Akhtar was absolutely amazing! He handled our remortgage with great professionalism, keeping us up to date every step of the way! He answered all our queries / questions with detailed explanations. His dedication was greatly appreciated and I believe he’s a great asset to John Charcol.”

“We had the pleasure of working with Daniel Smith as our protection advisor and overall had a good experience, that we would recommend. Great customer service regarding flexibility of meetings, often outside of standard working hours which is most appreciated. Of note, some teething issues around carrying over previous information gathered from previous protection advisors, however, quickly rectified. Overall, good value for money that we would recommend and use again. Thank you for your service!”

“I highly recommend Raza for his brilliant service throughout my mortgage application. He was professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions, making the process clear and straightforward. Although achieving the loan was not simple, Raza’s dedication and persistence made it possible. He worked tirelessly to secure the right mortgage for me and kept me informed every step of the way. As part of the respected network John Charcol, Raza provided advice I could truly trust. Thanks to his expertise, what could have been a stressful experience was smooth and successful”

“Firstly, I apologise for the delay in leaving this review — I moved in April 2025 and it has been a very busy time settling in! I cannot recommend John Charcoal Mortgage Broker highly enough. From the very beginning, Gemma Clarke was absolutely fantastic. She was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire mortgage process. She explained everything clearly, kept me fully informed, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. I always felt reassured and confident that I was in the very best hands. On completion, Alexa West was equally outstanding. She ensured everything was finalised seamlessly and kept communication consistent and clear right through to the end. Her efficiency, organisation, and attention to detail made the final stages completely stress-free. The teamwork, professionalism, and genuine care shown throughout the whole process truly stood out. I am so grateful for all of the support provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend John Charcoal Mortgage Broker to anyone looking for exceptional service from start to finish. I also look forward to hearing back from Gemma regarding my remortgaging — I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Thank you again for all of your hard work. — Katherine Hope”
