Daniel Dordan-Pike is exceptional. Quick, effective and proactive with everything from start to finish. We discussed my options on Wednesday afternoon and he had me a mortgage offer by Friday Morning of the same week!!! Unbelievable, never going anywhere else again! Then his support staff, Samanatha Walker and Samantha Remfry where just as good - Totally top draw company and people.

This company are the best, They are very professional and supportive, during the process of buying our own house, from the first step to the final step, Adrian has been very helpful, when I am confused or don't understand anything, I will give him a ring and he picks up straight away as i called him. Adrian and Megan have been of a very great help, updating us and most especially the challenging times when we almost gave up, they were there to support us. I recommend John Charcol and I will use them again and again. Thank you guys you are so amazing.

I worked with Lawrence to find both (i) a mortgage for a new house purchase and (ii) to put in place a let-mortgage on my existing flat. Lawrence delivered a great result and was quite simply outstanding throughout. I would recommend him to anyone (and have!)

Razz was our mortgage advisor and was great from the outset! He took on board everything we asked for and was able to secure us a product that suited our circumstances. Razz was always on the end of the phone for reassurance throughout our whole buying process, even when I was having a meltdown when our exchange of contracts fell through although this wasn't even his remit! thankfully with his calming voice and professionalism he reassured me it was just a blip, we are thankfully is our dream home and we have Razz to thank massively for all his help guidance and support on our journey. Highly recommended and we will definitely be in touch in the future, Charcol you have a diamond in Razz 🙂! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We recently completed the purchase of a home with Sarah Dormer acting as our mortgage broker. She is wonderful! From our first conversation in 2019 when we were just thinking of buying a home, to helping advise us throughout the pandemic in 2020, and into 2021, Sarah has been incredible. As first-time buyers we felt like she was truly invested in our success. She and her colleague Michelle were quick to respond to any question or update to our mortgage offer, so much so that our estate agent asked if she could refer Sarah's details to her other clients. Buying a home can be stressful and uncertain, but we always felt confident that Sarah and Michelle could help guide us through it. Thank you so much!
