Always reliable, efficient and fully recommend Randeep Sodhi as a great representative of the company as a whole - he's advised me and arranged my various mortgages over a ten year period and is always professional.

Oliver Barker was amazing throughout the whole process. He was patient and understanding and always made things easy to understand and always took the time to break things to to ensure I had understood. He always had answers to my questions. I can't thank him enough for all of his help and support. I would recommend Ollie to anyone.

Terrible experience using John Charcol. The process took 3 months. My advisor booked 3 calls - then didn't turn up for them (apologised later). My advisor booked a further 2 meetings which were each pushed back a week because they had decided to take last minute annual leave. I had previously remortgaged myself from start to finish in 2 weeks. I went to John Charcol for professional advice. They took 3 months from start to finish and were incompetent at most steps including double charging fees. I paid the valuation fees for my mortgage illustration from John Charcol and the lender. The advisor then called back later to say the illustration I had been offered was no longer on offer and they would change it. After completing and paying the fees to John Charcol via the new mortgage - I was sent a 14 day demand to pay the £995 fee again. This was very stressful and I was pressured to pay. Subsequently John Charcol apologised for their mistake and refunded me the second fee that had already been paid. Because the process took so long using John Charcol the interest on my credit card consolidation meant it would have been cheaper to use a faster more efficient broker. I would strongly advise against using John Charcol based on my experience.

I have been working with the ultimate professional Nicola Jones. She always phoned on time then sent follow up emails. Spent time patiently explaining all the details in an easy to understand way. She got us a fantastic deal on a remortgage and congratulate us on completion. Highly recommend and would use this companies services again

I have used several mortgage brokers in the past, my new one, John Charcol has been by a long way the best. They found me a product that really suited my needs and then helped and guided me through the whole process. A special mention to Scott Barron who really put the effort in taking note of my needs and finding an exact match product

Randeep and his colleagues helped us in every way possible, in very difficult circumstances. There were times during the process that we thought what we were trying to do would never happen. thanks to John Charcol, it did.

Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish. We had a slightly complicated situation because we were moving back to the UK from abroad and didn’t want to get tied into a rental contract. So we were trying to buy our first house on a tight schedule, from abroad and with patchy U.K. address history. Adam made it all very straightforward, and went above and beyond in fielding questions on all aspects of house buying. Thoroughly recommend this service- for what you get, it’s extremely good value. I’ll definitely be using them again in future!

Jessica, Fiona and everyone at John Charcol, a million thanks for the hard work, and continuous support. Thanks to you we have finally got the keys for our first residential property and I know we couldn't have done it without you. I will be recommending you to everyone needing a mortgage broker.

The whole team at John Charcol are fantastic! Scott arranged our mortgage and his expertise really shone through as we discussed a number of options and chose the most appropriate together. He then chased the lender for quick turnaround times and kept us informed at every stage. Molly and her team then made sure the transaction process ran smoothly and acted as an intermediary to try and and make sure that all parties were always kept informed of current progress Daniel then arranged our life and critical insurance and re designed our policies to maximise the amount of cover we now have for less of a monthly premium than we were expecting to pay. Tim was also always on hand for help and advice and we always felt supported even during holiday season when members of the team were off. Thanks all, you all played your part in getting this transaction over the line

A truly fantastic service from start to finish!!! A special mention for Randeep Sodhi who held my hand through a fairly lengthy process due to the circumstances of my house purchase. A really brilliantly professional chap and he made it all possible. Thoroughly recommended!

This is the second time I have used John Charcol Ltd and the standard of the service I received is as outstanding as it was the first time, with my advisers being friendly and professional throughout and there to help with every step of the process. I will certainly look to use them again next time I re-mortgage.

A big thank you to Hailey Kow, Hayley Sydes and Tiara for helping us buy our dream home in Spain. We were not an easy case due to unconventional properties, self employment etc but we got there in the end. We couldn’t have done it without you guys and will definitely use John Charcol again for any future mortgage needs. Highly recommend. Helen and David
