World class service from beginning to end. Our purchase completed in the blink of an eye. Would highly recommend Randeep Sodhi, professional, attentive and always kept us updated throughout the process. Carried out a full holistic review to ensure he completely understands our needs and preferences before making the recommendation. Thank you so much...would not have been possible without your help :)

We have been using John Charcol for many years now. It has been wonderful to have a personal relationship with our advisor (Randeep Sodhi) who has been terribly tolerant with all our chopping and changing! He has a long history of what we want and what is possible, helping guide us through various mortgage searches. We really do value his knowledge and guidance. We will continue to use John Charcol and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for mortgage advice.
