I have been dealing with Paul Grennan and Julie Ward for a mortgage that has not been entirely straightforward. Frankly, I am so impressed by the service I have received, that I felt compelled to drop you a line. I have not been this impressed or this happy with customer service for a long time, and you should know that Paul and Julie are an asset to your business. It was not just the positive result I was happy with, but also the fact that I was called when a promise was made to call me, emailed when a promise was made to email me and kept informed at every single stage. Paul and Julie are friendly and knowledgeable professionals. Top-class customer service has become a rarity in many service industries, so it’s good to know that I chose well, when I chose Pembroke.
Would highly recommend. A very efficient team always ready to help and answer any questions.
Pembroke Financial Services (Julie especially) actively went above and beyond what I expected from a mortgage adviser, they really went that “extra mile” for me and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you!
Fantastic service throughout the process of buying our first home. My partner and I were guided through the process and our circumstances were considered every step of the way. Efficient replies to emails and enquiries with constant updates throughout the process. Paul and Julie a credit to the company who we had personal dealings with throughout, right up to completion.
Very pleased with Pembroke, Paul in particular was incredibly helpful over a couple of in-person meetings and then numerous emails to select a mortgage and get the application completed. My previous experience of other brokers was not great, they were pushy and tried to sell me overpriced insurance on top. But Pembroke were not like that. I had many questions about various things (interest-only, retirement mortgages, risk etc) and Paul listened to what I was trying to achieve long-term and advised me on what’s feasible and what to avoid for now. He and Julie found us a good deal for our initial remortgage, navigating a bunch of issues with different lender’s requirements. I’m pleased I went with a broker, to guide me through this – worth every penny. I will be back next time I need to change mortgage.
