What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Mortgage period expired so I wanted to look at options available to me
How has James Pinder helped you?
Used PF Financial for a re-mortgage and found them to be exceptionally helpful and professional on all levels. James was pro-active in his approach and thorough with the process. Would highly recommend James for mortgage advise and application. Very clear and a good understanding of the market place and quick to ascertain customer needs. The whole process was made very easy and was dealt with quickly and professionally. Jenny Beale
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, very much so.
What could they have done better?
James was brilliant. He listened to my situation, very quickly came up with a variety of options available and then talked through the ones which interested me. Very current with his information, very quick to find a solution and talk it through and equally as quick in sorting out the administration and paperwork associated with the transaction. I'm not sure I could have received better service.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I needed a mortgage for my first purchase
How has James Pinder helped you?
I wanted someone to 'hold my hand' when I was buying my first house. James took a holistic approach and initially explained the whole house buying process to me and was available to answer any questions I had, whether mortgage related or more to do with others matters such as timeframes, legal stuff etc. He always had time to answer my questions even though some were probably pretty basic. I'm very happy with the mortgage he found for me. He presented several options and we discussed the diferences between each. There were features of some deals that didn't suit my requirements and without his help and guidance I could easily have chosen one of those deals. I made a decision I am very happy with so happy I chose an independent adviser and glad it was James.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, I own my property and have a great mortgage and also the protection contracts that suit my needs.
What could they have done better?
None
