WHAT OUR CLIENTS
say about us
Yet again we found SPF to be professional and caring. The level of service they provide is to the highest standard delivered with flexibility to suit our mortgage needs both immediately and with consideration to the longer term future.
Mr D.
We’ve used SPF for a series of mortgage transactions over the last 9 years, and they have been top notch in terms of finding the right product and working tirelessly to get everything pulled together successfully. I highly recommend them and they are very good value for money in the mortgage process.
Mr. Graham
Outstanding service from SPF on a home owner mortgage. As a self-employed business owner there were limited options available for us, however SPF secured us a mortgage from a leading high street bank at a great rate. The team were very responsive, answered all our questions and the mortgage offer came through very quickly. Great service all around and I would highly recommend.
Mr. S
Excellent service. Very efficient and provide lots of good advice and options to allow you to make an informed decision. Always there to make the process as easy as possible. Have used them for many years now and will continue to do so for many more.
Mr. Gregory
The whole process was made so much easier by using SPF. I was always up to date with how my mortgage application was progressing and had full access to the team as and when required to ask questions or clarify the position with my solicitor. I will certainly use SPF in the future and fully recommend them to others.
Mrs. Moore
They are excellent. Given I live overseas they really took care of my mortgage and responded immediately, even with the crazy time difference. I found their advice impeccable and the team was always proactive and on the ball. I wouldn’t go with anyone else for a mortgage.
Mrs. Phillips
