We received excellent customer service from everyone at John Charcol. Our circumstances weren't straight forward but Andrew worked with us to ensure we got a mortgage deal which suited our needs. We were particularly impressed with the attention to detail early on in our conversations which ensured that the mortgage process was quick and smooth when purchasing our house. Communication has been fantastic throughout. We would definitely use John Charcol in the future and are happy to recommend.

I dealt with Kathryn Toomer who arranged my mortgage. My case wasn't completely straightforward but Kat worked really hard to secure me an excellent deal with a high street bank and stuck with it over a protracted sale and purchase process. I cant recommend highly enoough.

Randeep Sodhi was first class. Got us a very good deal with HSBC. Worked extremely hard to get it whilst holding some other offers in the background as a reserve. Many thanks Simon
