What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

Looking for a mortgage.

How has Chris Atherton helped you?

Chris has helped in more ways than we could ever imagine! He spent time talking us through the whole process at every stage as we were first time buyers and did not have a clue where to start! There was a bump in the road through someone else within the process which Chris communicated with us and the party at fault to get this rectified. Even since making payment, Chris continues to offer us lots of advice in regards to insurance and cover at no extra cost.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, house purchase went through perfectly.

What could they have done better?

I do not say this lightly when I say Chris could not have done anything more for us. His service and care in which he took with us was to the highest standard and we feel it would take ridiculous amount of work for anyone wanting to match the way he treated and continues to treat us. We have already recommended him to family who are looking to purchase.

Thank you Jack - really appreciate the kind words and hope you & the family are well and settled into the new house!

How has Chris Atherton helped you?

Chris was very helpful from the start we was on a major time crunch as we bought at the auction and was in contract from the hammer hitting which was a few days before we initially contacted Chris which made the time to complete even sooner and Chris did everything in his power to help including emails back and fourth well into the evening sometimes as late as 9pm. Would not try or look anywhere else in the future as the service provided was second to none

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

My partner & I needed mortgage advice as we decided to buy a property together. We stupidly went to A well know high street lender as coincidentally we both had mortgages with them. 3 hours of zoom chat later we were no further forward, I then decided to go to Chris as he’d helped me previously with critical illness insurance.

How has Chris Atherton helped you?

Within 24 hours we’d received good solid advice and had an offer in principle. Our house purchase has been a complete nightmare, 6 months later we are completing soon. We have called Chris at least 4 times with new scenarios for him to re-quote. Not once has seemed slightly annoyed or impatient and never phased by our issues.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

We have a great offer ready for 2 weeks time, I have since spoken to him about further borrowing with buy to let mortgages and the minute we have completed I will again go back for insurance. I won’t go anywhere else ever! He knows his product & his job, he’s professional, patient and very prompt with replies.

I am buying my first home and one of my colleagues at work had advised me that they had used Chris's services and that he was really good for sorting out your mortgage. I would definitely recommend his services to any friends or family that were looking to sort out their mortgage.

How has Chris Atherton helped you?

He was able to find a mortgage lender who would provide me with my first ever mortgage at a reasonable interest rate based on a 5% deposit which most lenders wouldn't look to do.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Definitely. I am hopefully going to be moving into the house shortly and am just waiting to contract inquiries to come to an end before exchanging.

Nothing to be honest. I believe that Chris got me the best deal available to me based on my financial circumstances and what is currently available in the market.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

I started a family late in life. My finances were in a bit of a mess as I never really thought of ways in which I should make my money work better for me. As a single mum I needed to ensure I was benefiting from some sound financial advice. I wanted to explore my options to protect and build my assets, make the most of my investments and seek advice on securing the long term future for my Son and I.

How has Chris Atherton helped you?

Chris looked and evaluated my overall financial situation. He immediately solved my short term needs and then started thinking about my long term ones. I found him to be very knowledgeable in his field and he offered me various Product options for EQUITY RELEASE RE MORTGAGING MORTGAGES HEALTH AND LIFE INSURANCE. He has been passionate and dedicated about finding the best rates/deals for me and guided me every step of the way with the small amount of necessary paperwork (which I hate doing).

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

So Far YES. We have accomplished so much in only 4 months and I’m only 50% done. Lots of investment goals to still look forward to in 2021 with the help of Chris to achieve this.

What could they have done better?

Nothing at all. Chris was always available which made every process easy. Money is a complicated subject for me and I had lots of things to consider with a young Son. Thanks to Chris steering me in the right direction he has helped me to protect it, make the most out of it whilst highlighting the risks and rewards.

Again I can only re-emphasise how good Chris is at his job! Sometimes it’s just an enquiry and Chris displays his usual professionalism and see it through. Recently I spoke with Chris about a possible purchase and ran through our options on which he provided sound, swift advice. I ended the call knowing we’d made the right choice and Chris makes it so simple. He always follows up and chases us if anything needs to be provided.

Me and my partner were first time buyers so needed quite a lot of guidance and support around the topic of mortgages as it was all new to us. We also went through Chris to arrange life insurance which we also didn’t understand or have much knowledge of.

How has Chris Atherton helped you?

Chris was so understanding and gave us the best advice and support we needed. He was so honest throughout and gave his professional opinion on the direction we should go in. After speaking to Chris me and my partner felt so much more confident with the house purchase and the mortgage payments etc. Chris is so down to earth and really does give his all into helping each of his clients we are both so happy we went with him. Thank you so much Chris for all of your help.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, me and my partner have now completed our purchase and are covered for life insurance. Without Chris we wouldn’t have felt as stress-free and confident to go through with everything. We really can’t thank Chris enough for all of his help and support.

What could they have done better?

I really can’t think of anything Chris could have done to help us more. Chris was so flexible with his time, me and my partner are both full time workers and therefore, could only see him on evenings. Chris was more than happy to assist and was able to drive to us to discuss what we needed. The advice and support Chris gave us was more than enough, he was able to give us multiple options we could chose from and he gave his professional opinion on each idea but was never pressuring/forward in any way.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

I asked Chris to help me find a re-mortgage product that had no early redemption penalties and would save me money on my existing mortgage due to expire.

How has Chris Atherton helped you?

Chris found a product that fit the brief and saved me over £200 per month. He was easy to deal with, friendly and made the process straightforward. Would highly recommend Chris Atherton and would use him myself again.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes - I have saved nearly £1200 over the last 12 months! We are looking to move and with no early repayment penalty we don’t have any concerns getting a new mortgage.

What could they have done better?

Chris was easy to deal with and I have no complaints about turnaround time, so not much he could have done better.

My partner and I wanted to buy our first house and needed guidance and support.

How has Chris Atherton helped you?

We had seen three mortgage advisors before finding Chris all of which failed to find us a lender and gave us terrible advice. We had just about given up and then a client of mine told me to get in touch with Chris. Chris made us a plan, gave endless guidance and support and we are now in our beautiful first home. I can’t recommend him enough, Chris is a true professional yet a friendly warm person to work with during such an important time of your life.
