What our clients say
An enormous thank you for all of your help with the mortgage and for the beautiful flowers! Very much appreciated and you made the whole process incredibly smooth and easy for us
Young man you are a diamond! I went for my appointment and wasn't able to borrow what I needed, but with your advice and expertise I now can! So thanks very much for your sound advice.
Nicki and Chris recently arranged a mortgage for me after I was referred Claire Firth at Hamlyns. I was extremely impressed. The service that I received from Nicki and Chris was excellent, and I will be referring us to friends and thanking Claire Firth for her referral.
I can confirm we have completed. Thank you for all your efforts, your sense of humour and most importantly your integrity.
Let's keep in touch and once the work is complete I will get a proper valuation and we can agree timing on our next steps.
Many thanks
