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

We were due to remortgage as our fixed price rate was coming to an end and we wanted to explore the different options available to us. Using a financial advisor seemed the best way to know the best options out there without having to spend hours trawling through different website and becoming confused about rates/fees etc.

How has Alexandra Gregory-Chialton helped you?

Alex was incredibly clear and helpful. She made it easy to navigate the range of options out there, including the possibility of taking out additional lending, which was something we considered. Alex presented all of the options to us and was very clear about what our actual costs would be and the differences between what we were paying at the time. She actually found us a deal that was a lower APR than we were paying and we had no fees to pay when we switched. We were incredibly happy and grateful for her help.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes - we have a new, fixed-rate mortgage for five years which is exactly what we were looking for in the current financial climate.

What could they have done better?

How has Alexandra Gregory-Chialton helped you?

Alex was brilliant! She advised me that I was paying far too much money per month. She quickly got me organised and gave me such good advice regarding what was out there but most importantly what would best suit myself and my husband and our circumstances and what we wanted going forward with our finances. Nothing could have been done better she was soo helpful and created a very smooth, easy and carefree service for us!

More than!! I didn't re-do my mortgage deal because I was thinking of all the hassle getting everything together for the mortgage advisor - Alex made all that easy for us - I can't believe I hadn't done it ages ago! Huge saving on our monthly outgoings!

Looking for advise on buying a property for the first time.

How has Alexandra Gregory-Chialton helped you?

Joined Alex and her team today for a zoom session ‘First Time Buyers Workshop’. The session was bloody brilliant! From start to finish! It was informative and all questions were answered. Alex delivered the session with plenty of humour but most of all honesty! It wasn’t too technical and the lingo was easy to understand-sometimes I struggle reading stuff on the internet because I can’t make sense of it; but everything she went through from costs to credit checks, and how to use a mortgage calculator were all easy to follow and understand I wouldn’t go to anyone else for info or advise. I look forward to seeing you on the next session in March

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes-And more! Can’t wait to buy our forever home with the help of Alex and her team

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

I approached Alex to help me as my fixed rate term was coming to an end and the offers online were coming up higher and I wanted to get a better deal.

How has Alexandra Gregory-Chialton helped you?

Alex moved “heaven and earth” to negotiate a much more favourable deal with an alternative lender and pushed them to conclude this before my fixed term ended (over the festive period!).

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I am extremely pleased with the result and commitment to getting a deal agreed, especially given the economic climate and with it being Christmas!

What could they have done better?

Alex was excellent - she doggedly perused the new lender and we got it completed in good time. Her team were professional and efficient in supporting. She also comprehensively reviewed my insurances to ensure they still met my needs which I greatly appreciated.

Needed a new mortgage

How has Alexandra Gregory-Chialton helped you?

I was delighted with the service I received from you with regard to our mortgage. Having been through hell with Santander who our previous mortgage had been with, you were a breath of fresh air with your approach and how you dealt with us. As a business owner, navigating the mortgage market is not easy but you took the time to advise us regarding the products that would match our specific needs, explaining details of why they would best suit us. Once we’d picked the best option, you were very efficient in getting the application put together and submitted, and everything went off without a hitch. Your knowledge of mortgages is second to none and given the attention to detail I see in your everyday life I would have expected nothing less. I am thrilled with the service and would recommend anybody looking for a mortgage broker to look no further than Alex Gregory-Chialton of Pia Financial Solutions.

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

Me and my partner are first time buyers so new to the mortgage process. We wanted an adviser to look through the mortgages on our behalf and make sure that we were getting the best mortgage available.

How has Alexandra Gregory-Chialton helped you?

Alex reviewed all the current mortgages on our behalf and advised us on which ones would give us the most money available to buy a house for the least monthly repayments. Trying to get a mortgage during the Covid 19 pandemic has been incredibly hard and we would have struggled to do this with the current market by ourselves. Once we decided on a mortgage we sent all of our documents to Alex and her team and they then secured the mortgage for us. After having an offer accepted on a house, Alex then liaised with our estate agent and solicitor to make the process as smooth as possible.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

We now have a mortgage agreed with a vendor and are going through the legal process with our solicitor for our house. Once we have exchanged contracts for the house we will have the outcome we were hoping for.

I have been a client of Alex’s for a number of years now, ever since I started playing rugby. Having listened to her explain the importance of protection insurance, I knew I couldn’t go wrong taking out insurance with her. Alex’s advice was tailored to me and my circumstances. In addition to protection insurance, I have instructed Alex to help me find a mortgage, as always she was very helpful and easy to talk to. I highly recommend Alex as a professional and knowledgeable advisor. I have recommended her to family and friends and I won’t hesitate to instruct her again in the future.

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

We originally used Alex to secure Our mortgage ,then our re-mortgage as we had been so impressed. I had been travelling for a number of years so wasn’t on the electrol roll I had no credit cards / had no mobile contract / no car. My partner had really bad credit due to payday loans etc...

How has Alexandra Gregory-Chialton helped you?

She sat us down and went through questions , some difficult ones that needed answering so she knew the full picture. She then guided us I.e. getting me on electricol roll , applying for a credit card and using it responsibly / and to my partner paying everyone back and starting a new slate. Giving us 6 months to do so.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

After 6 months and applying all the changes that were advised , to our absolute delight and happiness we were offered a mortgage. We got offered the mortgage on the Tuesday , saw the house on the Wednesday , offered on it and it was accepted We have now been here 2 years. We did our remortgage in January , we now have a much better rate and can now see the mortgage decrease every month.

What could they have done better?

There nothing I would change , We we’re open and honest and so was Alex. If she tells you to wait 6 months it’s in your interest to do so. Thankyou so much for all your advice Love Shaun, Paul , George , Mildred and Jeffery x
