What our clients say
Wendy has been absolutely outstanding from start to finish in what many consider to be one of the most stressful processes they can go through in their life, purchasing their new home. With ours being a particularly specialised case we initially had a mortgage advisor who was unable to help us and we felt we didn’t have anywhere to turn. Wendy made the mortgage process smooth and stress free, her advice and knowledge was second to none. We would definitely not be moving in to our first home without Wendy!! To anyone moving home or purchasing their first house we would recommend Wendy extremely highly and will always be grateful for the help and advice she gave us throughout.
Jack Leech and Sophie Jarvis, Barton-le-Clay
Wendy, just a few lines to express my gratitude for the manner in which you carried out my equity release scheme and arranged the mortgage for my daughter and son-in-law. I am well aware of the intricacies of the financial services industry as you know having been involved in it myself some years ago. I was very impressed with your totally professional approach from day one which continued for the entire process. You were at great pains to ensure that I was fully aware of all the pitfalls along the way and that things went as smoothly as possible. Not only did you act professionally, you were also very friendly and at no time condescending. You rapidly realised the reason for my wishing to go down this route and then took over the arranging of my family's mortgage to great effect. I am pleased to say that my funds arrived well within the timescale that you had indicated and my daughter and son-in-law last Saturday took possession of the keys to their new home. Everything has gone relatively smoothly for them and they are now in the happy position of arguing about colour schemes and what comes first, the new windows or the new kitchen! My two grandsons are running round the large garden and exploring their home. I could not be happier. Thank you so much for all your help. As you know I have passed on my recommendation to two other people who are looking to do the same thing.
Mr B, Bedfordshire
Wendy has been a great help with getting our finances sorted out. She is friendly and easy to work with which makes the whole process more pleasant and less scary. She always manages to come up with a deal to suit our circumstances and has given us lots of good advice - she's also saved us quite a bit of money. I'm very happy to recommend her to anyone needing financial advice.
