John Charcol were able to advise us on whether to remortgage or take out a second charge and then were very patient with us over the whole process. Erin and Hayley supported us through everything with regular updates. Many thanks!

John Charcol did a great job in getting me a much better rate on an existing mortgage than I could get myself

Having been impressed by the level of service from Andrew Tuck at John Charcol 5 years ago, when we bought our first home, we returned to him again this year. Again he did a fantastic job, along with colleague Katie. As someone who works a mix of contracted and freelance jobs in the television industry, things have always been a little more complicated for me when finding a mortgage. Andrew, however, always understands the situation and does a great job in communicating with the lenders to get the best offer for us. He succeeded again on this occasion and we can't thank him enough for the hard work. Highly recommend

Out of all the brokers I contacted Sarah was by far the most helpful and informative. Dealing with Sarah and Fiona has made this process so easy. They've been in constant contact to inform us of every step. Really happy and would definitely recommend them.

Fast, efficient and excellent service can always be expected from John Charcol. Fantastic customer service, regular reports and updates on the progress of Mortgages and a wide in depth knowledge of the industry also with assists with obtaining competitive quotes from other related business that the customer may need/ benefit from. I have been using them for all my property and personal insurance requirements since 2008 and have recommended their services to friends, family and colleagues on numerous ocassions and will continue to do so in the future. Much of my success of a being a landlord/ investor for many years is very much down to working alongside John Charcol. With great thanks and appreciation, Miss Jahlyn King.

Definitely worth the fee. Paula Willock and Alison Briggs were always at the end of the phone and provided clear helpful advice on getting the mortgage through as quickly as possible. If something needed to be chased they were on it immediately. When Alison was away on holiday, Scott picked up and was equally as helpful. Thank you team :)

Excellent! whilst I initially thought the costs were quite high compared to other mortgage brokers it was definately worth it and actually turned out to be very good value for money. Penny Mathers and Talwasa Mosakhel kept us well informed throughout, pulled strings when needed and liased with all parties involved in order to provide a very professional and efficient service.

We applied for our mortgage through John Charcol. I am free lance and finding a mortgage has always been challenging. This time it was the smoothest process we have experienced. Entirely due to Tim Cobb and Tom Clifford's work. Their efficiency, straight talking, and hard work made the process totally painless. With in a day we had an agreement in principle from a lender and a few weeks later the mortgage was approved, meaning that we could purchase the property we wanted. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending John Charcol to any one who wants an efficient, communicative and fast service. Totally worth the finders fee.
