Thank you so much to Ezra and Fiona for their help, not only finding us a great mortgage deal but being really helpful with all the bumps along the road. They provided an excellent, friendly and professional service. We got very quick responses to our emails and had very good experiences on the phone. I would certainly recommend John Charcol to anyone looking for a mortgage and will definitely be coming back for our future mortgage needs.

We are very grateful to Harry Limburn and Emily Gould for their assistance over the last few weeks in procuring our bridging loan. The works to our house are now underway. Efficient, friendly, encouraging, thoughtful …… we could go on but you get the gist! Based on the was that they looked after us I would thoroughly recommend John Charcol to anyone.

Friendly, competitive, flexible, and made the whole process easy to navigate! Damien worked tirelessly to find us the best rate and terms for a mortgage suited to our needs, and made sure we had very regular updates on the progress of our application from start to finish.

Recently contacted Andrew Ireland from John Charcol to help with remortgaging my daughters property and changing details of ownership. From the beginning, he was extremely helpful, professional and informed us of the ongoing process. Any queries were promptly answered and the whole experience was a positive one. I would definately recommend Mr Ireland and will use him again, if required.

I am a first time buyer and I don't recommend using John Charcol - it was a very stressful experience. Things were great at the beginning and they offered me a really good deal with a high lending amount and little interest rate, which suited my needs. As I was house hunting at the time, I based my price range on this quote, and as it took me a few months to find somewhere, they kept updating the same quote but in line with the current interest rates. When I finally found somewhere within that price range, they said they could no longer give me that quote, despite it being the same for months, and were offering me a lending amount far lower than the original, with a higher interest rate. When trying to resolve the situation in order to save the property I had offered, my broker ghosted me for 3 days, and then never came back to me on the situation. I think with first time buyers they offer a great quote originally in the hopes that it will get cleared once an offer has been accepted, however you are left in the lurch if this doesn't go to plan and then they just drop you. Save yourself the time and stress and use somewhere else.

I just completed on my first property and am immensely satisfied to have had Jon Charcol as my broker. Katie Thomas and Maisie Reeves looked after my mortgage application, and I'm very grateful to them for the service they provided. Katie was able to clearly articulate the complicated world of mortgages to me when it was wholly new and unclear. Her advice I trusted, and this is invaluable as a first time buyer. Maisie dealt with my application during the closing stages and was very personable in her communication and interaction with the agents and solicitors. This was also greatly appreciated. One area for development would be a little more communication with the client in relation to expected timescales for the mortgage offer. That said, I'm still highly satisfied with the services provided, and will remain a client in the future. Thank you both!

We dealt with Darren and Holly for a bridging loan. They were both very helpful and made the application straight forward. Barclays Bank delayed the completion of the transaction and we have been told that is usual for Barclays! However the persistence of the John Charcol team saw it through successfully. We would recommend John Charcol to anyone who wants a bridging loan. Anna and Dick Horsnell

The broker I dealt with, Randeep, was excellent. He gave me clear information and helped me through each step of the process of re mortgaging my buy to let. He was there at the end of the phone whenever I had a question and made me feel i was in safe, experienced hands. I thoroughly recommend this broker.

Bruce Anderson, our mortgage broker was extremely helpful. He was very quick to respond and had very sound advice. He helped us through the process and hurried things along when they were needed. We felt very reassured and confident with his advice.

The agent who handled my property remortgage case, Damien, was brilliant throughout the whole process. Everything was made clear to me. Every question I had was answered in a timely manner, and I felt that I was kept well informed of the progress of my case at every step. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending John Charcol to anyone, especially if someone as competent as Damien is handling their case. I will certainly be using them again for my future remortgaging needs. Great job. Thank you.

Darren Peiris ,Cristian Lupu & Robert Orr all worked extremely hard to help me with a rather complicated refinance of a freehold property on one single title converted into 2x 4 bed flats.

Ezra Le Mon and Fiona Allan were both great from start to finish. Ezra was very professional, listened to my situation and requirements and found different options to suit. Once the application has been submitted Fiona understood the tight timeline requirements and consistently working with the solicitor to get the completion on time. I have enjoyed working with them both, excellent communication. I have no doubt I will come back to them in the future, and feel confident to refer them to any of my friends and family.

Nathan Moore at John Charcol was brilliant. My partner and I were first time buyers and Nathan made the process pleasurable. He is very responsive to emails and phone calls and truly advocates on your behalf to obtain a mortgage offer. I would definitely recommend John Charcol & Nathan. The fee they charge is worth the incredible service you receive!

Bruce went way beyond the norm for us, patiently working through aborted transactions and more than one lender including spending literally hours on the phone under pressured circumstances and on more than one occasion. To say we got our money's worth is something of an understatement! And we are very happy with the product negotiated too. Thanks Bruce. Luke + Claire.
