Review from Verified Client
  • What were the circumstances that caused you to look for a financial adviser?

    Mortgage Advice

  • How did James help you?

    James has been brilliant and always appears to be at the end of the phone no matter the size of the query at hand. James continually goes above and beyond and has a real understanding of the size of the transactions from a customer lens when it comes to moving house. Often, in my experience, professionals can view it as a transaction and treat it as such, not keeping the customer in the loop and creating unnecessary anxiety.

  • Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

    Not only have I seen the outcome I was looking for but more often than not, better than I was looking for - once, we had a mortgage agreed and I was happy with the outcome, it would have been easy for James to think, job done. But no, James continue to look and came back to me with a better deal saving me significantly each month.

  • What could they have done better?

    In my experience, I've been delighted with everything and had no issues.

He listened carefully to our requirements and so there was no need to reiterate or correct any parameters. I would have utmost faith that James would do the same for anybody else - it really takes the stress out if you can rely on your adviser and if you can trust them to get you what you need in an efficient manner.
