I was looking for mortgage advice as a first-time buyer, and had already been declined an agreement in principle from a lender at the point where I contacted Ian.

How has Ian Christlo helped you?

Ian guided me through the process of buying a home, step by step, patiently answering all of my questions. He explained everything clearly and took me through the application for the mortgage product he recommended. Everything was very quick and easy, and Ian was friendly, knowledgable and efficient throughout.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

The mortgage application was successful, and I am now living in my new home, only 9 weeks after first speaking to Ian. The mortgage product recommended is very competitive and affordable.

How has Ian Christlo helped you?

Ian Christlo is very friendly and helpful and was very professional in finding the best deal for us. I work full time and find it hard to finish work early so Ian always accommodates us and makes his home visits after 6.30 in the evening.Would highly recommend.

How has Ian Christlo helped you?

Looking for for the best possible mortgage deals available and being as honest as possible.He is experienced and also helped most of my friends and colleagues that I have recommeded.

What could they have done better?

My adviser would do better if banks/lenders offer better rates with less upfront fees.Further not all mortgage applicants are unreliable so the banks/lenders could relax their rules and grant mortgages rather than reject applicants outright.Its humiliating an experience for applicants if lenders/ banks merely rely on feedback from credit reference agencies unless there is a major default by an applicant.If an applicant is able to afford he should be granted a mortgage,and if he fails there is another procedure called possession which the banks can resort to.

Listened to what we needed and gave us advise on what was available, always answered any questions we had as quickly as he could, gave us choices with for and against arguments.

What could they have done better?

We personally could not fault Ian on any aspect of what he did for us, we got exactly what we asked for with advise as and when we needed it.

How has Ian Christlo helped you?

Ian has been our advisor for a number of years dealing with our mortgage evaluations, consolidated loans, savings and insurances. He is very professional, offers sound advice and doesnt labour the point. He just gets on with the job in hand in a practical manner. He also offered me advice to pass to my parents when they were thinking about equity release. I wouldnt consider going anywhere else for my financial advice.

What could they have done better?

Whilst I would like to put a constructive comment, I cant really think of anything that Ian could do better. I'm not really one for declaring my income and expenditure and I live each day as it comes and Ian respects that and the way we live, hence the reason why we have such a good relationship with him.
