I have just used John Charcol for the third time regarding house purchases and mortgages. I cannot recommend the company highly enough. On the last two occasions I have been helped by Jyotin B. He has been helpful and explained everything in an easy to understand way. I had every confidence that he would be able to deal with my mortgage request even though it was not entirely straight forward. Thankyou Jyotin.
