Posted on Edward HawkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Jack at Strive Mortgages and couldn’t recommend him more highly. He was incredibly responsive throughout our search - even as we had to adjust our LTV several times to make everything work. When it came time to submit the application, rates were changing rapidly across all lenders, but Jack moved fast to get everything submitted and lock in our rate before it changed. I also have a fairly complicated income structure, and Jack handled it brilliantly - knowing exactly how to present everything to satisfy the lender. He made what could’ve been a stressful process feel smooth and under control from start to finish.Posted on Andreas ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As first-time buyers, we were looking for a mortgage advisor to help us navigate this process and avoid making any unnecessary mistakes. We chose to use Jack from Strive Mortgages, and we have to say the whole experience working with him has been great. Not only did he help us secure the agreement in principle within hours, walk us through all the available mortgage options, and run the numbers for us, but he also guided us in choosing the right property (by giving us feedback, pointing out details we weren’t aware of, and advising us on what questions to ask). During the first one-hour free consultation he offered, he uncovered that we could potentially be liable for thousands of pounds in extra tax to HMRC due to a mistake we made earlier this year. Since we spotted it early, we managed to get it sorted. So if you’re looking for someone who is super responsive and has been there, done that hundreds of times, Jack is your guy. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.Posted on Quadri AdeoshunTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience working with Kiran as our mortgage broker. She efficiently sorted out my remortgage with my mum in just a couple of weeks. The entire process was smooth, and he communicated every step clearly, making everything stress-free. I would highly recommend Kiran’s services to anyone looking for a professional and reliable mortgage broker.Posted on Stephen ParkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kiran has been professional, supportive and understanding from the start. She guided us through our options, recommended remortgaging, and worked tirelessly to find the best deal. Thanks to her, we can finally plan a future with confidence. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kiran to family and friends.Posted on EricaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend, it wasn’t an easy one, Jack certainly had his work cut out, but went above and beyond and we got there in the end! Sharon also did an amazing job keeping me up to speed, thank you all for your efforts, very much appreciated.Posted on harryjjgrant grantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently purchased our first home and used Strive for our mortgage. The team were always available to answer questions, guided us clearly through the whole process, and made everything feel straightforward and stress-free. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience – highly recommend!Posted on CULT MILKTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went with Strive Mortgages through a recommendation and we’re so happy we did! We worked with Greg from Strive who was really helpful, friendly and supportive. Our first time buying experience took so much longer than we’d anticipated due to various properties falling through and Greg was there every time we needed him at no extra expense, which gave us huge peace of mind. If you’re reading this Greg - thank you a million :)Posted on G TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had such a brilliant experience with Jamie and Kiran, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for more from a mortgage advisor team. Jamie was fantastic from the outset, giving me a clear introduction and background on the process, setting everything up smoothly, and making sure I was confident in the options available. Once things were underway, Kiran took over my case fully and I have to say she has been outstanding. She has done all the legwork for me, guiding me through every step, chasing things up quickly, and making what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. What stood out most was how flexible and approachable they both were. They often worked late into the evenings, always kept me up to date, and nothing was ever too much to ask. Kiran in particular has been incredibly dedicated, she really went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track. Being able to communicate easily over WhatsApp has also made a huge difference, making the whole process quick and convenient around my busy schedule. I would highly recommend Jamie and Kiran to anyone looking for mortgage advice they’re professional, efficient, and genuinely care about making things as straightforward as possible for their clients. A huge thank you to both of them for all their hard work!Posted on Ariana ArmenakasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time buyers and could not have been happier with Strive Mortgages. This definitely wasn’t an easy case by any means, but Jamie and Jack were reassuring during the whole process. The communication to us was clear and efficient. I will definitely be recommending Strive to future buyers!Posted on Harry BowdenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Prompt, responsive, great work.
