Lauren and Katherine did an excellent job and we were grateful for their efficient help. The only room for improvement is in the interface between JC and the panel solicitor recommended, where duplication could be avoided, but the team worked hard to smooth out problems within the other agencies concerned. Customer service - 5, Delivery - 4, Price - 4.

What can i say. John Charcol managed to get me a mortgage when all others had failed. I had used no fee brokers, banks and companies who charged a fee. Due to my partner just starting a new job we hit a brick wall after having an offer excepted, that was until we tried John Charcol. Massive praise for Dan Watkins who i spoke with and he took details of our situation, within half an hour he had found a lender, he went through everything and explained it all in detail and made sure everything was complete before we made the application. We got Accepted for the mortgage within a short space of time. Becky Law was also very good, she kept in contact with myself and our solicitor and chased up any loose ends. For the fee they charge in my experience it was worth every penny as they also got me a mortgage with no set up fee so overall i saved money even with paying there fee. I also set up my life insurance through them and used the "just move in" service that was offered free of charge also. All in all there service was fantastic and would highly recommend them and would 100% use there services again if need be.

Randeep Sodhi provided an excellent service; he was consultative, helpful and matched us with a financial product which met our needs. He kept us informed with regular updates, thereby minimising any concerns, which we are very grateful for. Very professional - 5 stars - would highly recommend.

Emily Gould and Tiara Hardy are the ‘Dream Team’ when it comes to second charge mortgage finance. I had the fortune of being referred to them, and they sorted two separate cases on different properties within one year. Tiara ensured the cases were fully understood and researched, with the best products sourced; Emily then kicks in with ensuring that the case runs smoothly to completion. Neither case was straightforward, but all obstacles were overcome. It was clear both times that Tiara and Emily both have good relationships with the relevant lenders, which always made the difference. Emails returned on time, phone calls made when necessary; job done. I would recommend John Charcol, and particularly Emily Gould and Tiara Hardy, without hesitation. Thanks guys, both times round. You’re both a credit to John Charcol.

Tiara Hardy and Emily Gould have been fantastic every step of the way in arranging specialist finance for my latest renovation project. Having been a mortgage broker myself for many years I know good service when I see it. In particular, Emily supported the whole case through to completion even working the case on her days off which is above and beyond so a massive thanks needs to go to her for that. Best wishes for Christmas to all the team and looking forward to more future projects together.

Andrew Ireland at John Charcol was fantastic. Our circumstances meant that getting a mortgage wasn't straightforward but Andrew listened to our needs and advised us on the best way forward. There was a significant issue with the lender and their valuer going around in circles but Andrew's persistence meant that the issue was resolved and we were able to move forward. If we had being doing this ourselves the purchase would almost certainly have fallen through. Very, very highly recommended.

Top professionals I have to say, trustable and reliable. My case was dealt by Scott Barron and Louise Cheatle (was Toni Walker before Louise Cheatle) My entire year is almost dealing with three small purchases, with one purchase failed within ten days. It’s all nightmare that i wake up in the morning I know I have to deal with estate agents, lenders and solicitors like a full time job, especially solicitors because most of them create issues on purpose My case with them I have a crazy lender, got my mortgage application into four months and a half. The crazy people will never create one problem, but a series problems, then all consequences came to me one by one. Scott has showed enough patience and professionalism to bring everything back on track once and once again. I was actually thinking if my case was not with him, should fail at early stage. I should say BIG THANK YOU

We dealt with Andrew Ireland at John Charcol. He was truly outstanding. Our case was complex, involving refinancing on two properties. Andrew gave really clear guidance on our options from the start and then kept on our case with the lenders and the legal teams throughout. We tried several brokers while seeking advice on our refinancing needs. John Charcol and Andrew Ireland were the best by a mile. None of the other brokers gave such clear guidance at the beginning and, in their rush to say they could help, the others failed to factor in key information which was crucial to the lenders who would lend in our circumstances.

My husband and I couldn't recommend John Charcol enough to our family and friends! The service we have received has been outstanding. We wanted to say a massive thankyou to Scott, Fiona and Chantelle in assisting us with our house move. They have gone above and beyond with helping us over the past 13 months, and guided us through all the obstacles that were thrown our way during the pandemic and chains collapsing. They took all the stress away from us and made the whole process run as smoothly as possible.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Randeep Sodhi of John Charcol for our investment property mortgage loan. From beginning to end he was very informative, extremely thorough and attentive to our financial needs, thus making sure that we were getting the best deal possible. He is one of the most knowledgeable, honest professional mortgage advisor we have ever worked with. He kept us advised every step of the mortgage process, explaining the reason for every obscure document requested from us. His manner was always friendly and he was always available to our every question we had. We highly recommend Randeep Sodhi and his company to our friends. We will certainly use him in future. He is remarkable and a five star advisor.
