What our clients think of us
Worth every penny. I will be back next time I need to change mortgage.
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.
Made a stressful process, feel so easy
Paul helped us find an amazing deal on our mortgage. Explained everything in simple terms for us and answered our many questions. Already recommended to friends. Thank you again for all your help, made a stressful process, feel so easy.
Patient, informative and diligent
I’ve used Frances Boiling’s services for several years as my financial advisor. She has always been patient, informative and diligent. Most recently, she has helped me to invest part of an inheritance, and has taken the time to thoroughly answer all my many questions. That kind of professionalism – especially since I’m not a big-money client – deserves praise, and I hope you’ll let her know how much I appreciate her.
A very efficient team always ready to help
Would highly recommend. A very efficient team always ready to help and answer any questions.
Thoroughly recommend Paul and the team
My partner Caroline and I recently bought our first home, and we really cannot overstate how helpful and reassuring Pembroke were throughout the whole process. Without Paul and Julie, our contacts at Pembroke, we probably wouldn’t be moving at all. Paul got straight on the phone with us at the start of the process, managed to explain each step in a really informative yet simple way, and was extremely patient with our various ‘first-time buyer’ questions and emails. Paul found some great mortgage deals for us, explained the pros and cons of each element (like the length of our fixed-rate term), and gave sound advice that made us feel comfortable and prepared. We would thoroughly, thoroughly recommend Paul and the team at Pembroke to anybody, especially to first-time homebuyers.
Great support and communication
Great support and communication throughout the entire process, by Julie.
Fantastic service
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..
Top-class customer service
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!
Paul and the whole team at Pembroke were so friendly and helpful throughout the purchase of our first property. Paul was happy to answer all my questions and explain the process which was great as it can be confusing when you are a first time buyer. Would highly recommend! Thank you Pembroke Financial Services!
Super helpful
Fantastic experience with Paul and Julie. Super helpful, communicative and full of advice. Will not hesitate to use Pembroke in the future.
Couldn’t recommend a better team
I can’t speak highly enough of Paul and the team at Pembroke FS on the level of service received following my new mortgage for my recent house move. Full communication throughout every milestone so I fully knew where I was at all times and even went above and beyond to deal with a major obstacle that threatened to derail the process and advise on the situation using his experience. Couldn’t recommend a better team and will 100% use their services in the future.
They really went that “extra mile” for me
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!
Helpful, professional and efficient
Julie was so helpful, professional and efficient and worked very hard to get us the best deal Thank you so much for all your hard work I really appreciate it.
Brilliant Job
I have kept an eye on my pension recently and saw on Friday that it is now above the best Pre-COVID level. What a brilliant job Pembroke has done to achieve this!
Orchestrating gains amidst turmoil!
I just received the review and haven’t read it yet but am extremely pleased with the results over the past 6 months on my account – especially in view of the pandemic and crazy, constantly evolving economy we are experiencing recently. Many thanks and congratulations to you and the team for orchestrating gains amidst turmoil!
Impressed with the performance of our pensions and ISA
I just wanted to say that I’m really impressed with the performance of our pensions and ISA. In such difficult times it is clear to me that the decisions that the investment committee have made have protected our investments very well.
Very grateful
I took the jump and dived in to look at my pension, well you are all very clever because considering the markets I was pleasantly surprised , I realise this is a lot of work for you all but I am very grateful.
Exceeded any expectations we had
I received very prompt, easy to understand information with reference to my position as Power of Attorney for my Downs Syndrome brother regarding a query to transfer his pension to a ‘Drawdown Pension’ to allow funds to be accessed, above and beyond his regular payments, for private health care if government care is insufficient. I received a detailed email laying out important points to consider and suggestions to contact official bodies to acquire clarification. David provided a level of service which exceeded any expectations we had, given our other dealings with financial advisers, and my family and I are extremely grateful.
We feel ‘looked after’ by you
We are more than happy with the way you, Stuart and anyone else involved at Pembroke have dealt with our pensions/transfers. You have always explained things in a way that’s easy to understand without being patronising and we feel ‘looked after’ by you. The pension transfer too was so easy and I have been kept informed every step of the way.
I absolutely recommend their approach and service
I am very happy with the service that I have received from Pembroke Financial Services on the transfer of my pension from a final salary scheme to a personal pension. I found that Frances was knowledgeable, thorough, and a very clear communicator eliminating jargon. The Pembroke process that was followed including support systems with risk and cash flow analysis allowed a rigorous fact based recommendation about what I needed to do. I absolutely recommend their approach and service.
The best in the business!
Trustworthy, reliable, prompt and totally honest! I will only ever use these guys for my business, they are simply Awesome!
Fantastic
I would like to introduce you to my cousin, who I have included on this email. She is looking for someone to support her with setting up a pension/ financial advice… basically the same kind of service you offer me. Pembroke Financial has been fantastic to me over the years, so I recommended you…
Thank you and the team for all of your efforts and good advice
I just wanted to let you know it was a good to meet you last week, and to thank you and the team for all of your efforts and good advice in looking after our savings. We have great confidence in you and Pembroke.
Good service
Good service, all options explained clearly, good follow up, kept in touch all the way through to the end of the transaction, very aware of how important this was to their client.

Just received the latest 6 monthly valuation statement from Standard Life (a 10% increase!), and so wanted to say thank you to Keith and to you all on the Investment Committee.

Thank you so much for the investment advice
I want to thank you so much for the investments that you worked out for me. I am able to live very comfortably – 3 holidays a year – and fillet steak when I want to buy it!
Thanks again for your time and patience
Thank you very much, Keith, and thanks again for your time and patience today. Jack and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit – and that’s not something that is said when visiting most financial institutions!
Thank you for your continued good work
Dear Keith, It was a pleasure to catch up with you today and thank you for the in depth report on our investments with you. Thank you for your continued good work.
Giving her peace of mind that her funds were safe
I want to thank you for everything you did for Muriel – I know that she thought of you as a friend as well as her advisor and I know that you were very helpful to her as well as giving her peace of mind that her funds were safe.
Friendly and efficient
I have always found Pembroke friendly and efficient.
Efficient and friendly service with relevant advice
From a personal point of view Pembroke Financial Services has always provided an efficient and friendly service with relevant advice. As a client of my firm, the company has always acted in a professional manner.
Professional handling of financial affairs
May I use this opportunity to thank Cindy and Keith for the professional way that you have always handled my financial affairs. As a satisfied customer, I would be very happy to recommend Pembroke Financial Services to any of my friends and family.
Thank you for your prompt attention, and excellent service

Delighted with the results
We want to thank you very much for your stewardship. I know that it is your professional attention to detail and your objective involvement which is responsible, but you do seem to have that extra “flair” – and its working well for us.
I was not expecting such an exciting performance
I was not expecting such an exciting performance from virtually everything and must take this opportunity to be serious and tell you how much I appreciate the way you look after everything and nurse my investments along. I have no need to tell you that so much of the detail is way above my head but I know you are keeping your eye on everything and that is very gratifying.
Really helped me plan the next 5 years
Your help going through my Investments and Pensions and your advice concerning the future really helped me plan the next 5 years. As I mentioned I am extremely grateful to you and all at Pembroke for all your good advice over the last 15 years or so which has certainly borne fruit.
