How Can an Independent Mortgage Adviser Help?

Your mortgage adviser will learn about your situation and explain your mortgage options before making a product recommendation. We’re a whole of market mortgage broker which means we’re not tied to any lenders; we look at products from across the entire market to find the best deal for you.

We are very grateful to Harry Limburn and Emily Gould for their assistance over the last few weeks in procuring our bridging loan. The works to our house are now underway. Efficient, friendly, encouraging, thoughtful …… we could go on but you get the gist! Based on the was that they looked after us I would thoroughly recommend John Charcol to anyone.

Friendly, competitive, flexible, and made the whole process easy to navigate! Damien worked tirelessly to find us the best rate and terms for a mortgage suited to our needs, and made sure we had very regular updates on the progress of our application from start to finish.

Recently contacted Andrew Ireland from John Charcol to help with remortgaging my daughters property and changing details of ownership. From the beginning, he was extremely helpful, professional and informed us of the ongoing process. Any queries were promptly answered and the whole experience was a positive one. I would definately recommend Mr Ireland and will use him again, if required.

I just completed on my first property and am immensely satisfied to have had Jon Charcol as my broker. Katie Thomas and Maisie Reeves looked after my mortgage application, and I'm very grateful to them for the service they provided. Katie was able to clearly articulate the complicated world of mortgages to me when it was wholly new and unclear. Her advice I trusted, and this is invaluable as a first time buyer. Maisie dealt with my application during the closing stages and was very personable in her communication and interaction with the agents and solicitors. This was also greatly appreciated. One area for development would be a little more communication with the client in relation to expected timescales for the mortgage offer. That said, I'm still highly satisfied with the services provided, and will remain a client in the future. Thank you both!

We dealt with Darren and Holly for a bridging loan. They were both very helpful and made the application straight forward. Barclays Bank delayed the completion of the transaction and we have been told that is usual for Barclays! However the persistence of the John Charcol team saw it through successfully. We would recommend John Charcol to anyone who wants a bridging loan. Anna and Dick Horsnell
