I was abroad at the time of my enquiry regarding a re-mortgage of one of my properties, and did an on line introduction, then I was telephoned, and found the whole process straight forward, and all the staff were friendly, and helpful with the whole process, resulting in a very satisfactory outcome for me. I would recommend John Charcol to my friends.

Sergio Constantatos went above the call of duty in my opinion. Out of all the mortgage consultants I have dealt with he was (by far) the most knowledgeable, proactive and creative problem-solver I've encountered in a purchase thwart with obstacles. I truly believe we wouldn't have the house we do today if it wasn't for him...see you in another 3-4 years!!

Both Erin Sandall and Eliott were very professional and helpful and I have faith that should a better deal come up in the next year or so for us that Erin will be on the case and be in contact with us, otherwise we will be speaking in 4 years time!

We were kept informed of our progress with our mortgage application at all times. They were good intermediaries to the lending company.

Lisa found a good mortgage and helped me with any extra info I needed. Chantelle kept me updated throughout the process and felt that everything was in hand and no chasing up by me required.

I used them to arrange a mortgage on a holiday let. I'm actually a finance professional so could have easily done it myself, but decided I'd rather pay John Charcol as I needed to save the time. Thus I guess you could say I would be a pretty critical reviewer (and I rarely do reviews). John Charcol did what they said they'd do, explained the options on offer, kept me fully informed throughout the process, allocated a great account handler (Georgina) and just did a fantastic job! They were all highly professional and the money I spent having them sort it all out for me was well spent. I'd recommend them unreservedly.

We have been trying to arrange a buy to let mortgage for some months now. We need less than 50% funding for this purchase, we have 6 other properties (small studio flats) none with mortgages. At the start of the process we had all the usual hassle with the anti money laundering rules, not least of which because they only drip fed us what proofs they required. Each time the requested proofs were sent, they wrote sometimes weeks later to request yet more information and proof. Their explanation is that they don't know what the mortgage provider will want until they ask for it, so it would appear that either they have no knowledge of the mortgage provider or they just don't care. We finally got an offer of sorts only to be told today that the solicitors we use were not on their panel and we would need to use a different one. They have known from the outset who are solicitors are, they had everything ready to go two months ago to be told now that we need to use a different one is beyond belief. We have run up a bill with our solicitors of around £1000 and they now wish us to change. We have never used John Charcol before and have been apalled by the service they offer as "The country's Largest Mortgage Broker". They never keep us informed of what is going on, as usual with these sorts of organisations, only endless badgering by us produces results, not too bad if they were doing this for free, but they aren't. We certainly won't be using them again, a thouroughly bad experience.

everything went off well, although initially personal info & documentation took bit longer than expected, the outcome was satisfactory.

Professional, helpful, very clear and straight forward with no unexpected or unexplained fees or problems. Offered very competitive products which offset the additional brokers fee. Overall very happy
