Of course we’d say we think we’re pretty good. But you don’t have to simply take our word for it, here’s what just a few of our client’s said about us:
Our clients rate us 5 stars
I was recommended to bellemaisonmortgages by a close friend and I was not disappointed by any means . Paula and her team were fantastic from start to finish of my mortgage application . It is a very professional business and whenever I needed help , Paula was always there . Even when Paula was on holiday she was still reaching out and providing the best quality support , she made the whole process smooth and easy for me . Absolutely fantastic customer service and would 100% recommend to anyone who’s looking to get a mortgage to use bellemaisonmortgages .
Paula has been nothing but amazing from start to finish. I first contacted Paula when I was in an IVA and explained my situation, she worked with me from that point to help me every step of the way to build my credit file to be able to buy my first house. She persevered for almost 2 years to assist me in any way possible. Last week I completed on my dream home and I can honestly say I never thought it would happen. Not only did I get approved for a mortgage but Paula worked with all of the high street lenders to prove my circumstances had changed dramatically over the last couple of years and was able to secure a high street rate. I can’t thank Paula and her team for making this possible for me and my children. Thank you so much for not giving up on us, even when it didn’t seem possible.
A massive thank you to Paula for ensuring my mortgage went through smoothly and everything was in place when it was needed. Paula was responsive, proactive and clear in all her explanations from the initial call all the way through to the completion of my mortgage. I would recommend Paula to all my friends and family. Thank you again Paula x
If you need a mortgage advisor then you need to use Belle Maison mortgages. Paula has been amazing from start to finish, and has made my life so easy during what is meant to be one of the most stressful periods of your life. I even pulled out of a house purchase and purchased a different house which Paula made so easy to do, and there was no extra fee for this. She also adjusted my mortgage to a lower rate when one became available. It has been completely stress free as Paula and Louise did all of the chasing with the solicitors and sorting my insurances etc, I literally had to do nothing! If I had not used Belle Maison Mortgages I strongly believe my whole experience would have been completely different, so I am so so grateful to have had such a positive experience when buying a house. Thank you guys! P.S. Empresses loves the new gaff
We used Belle Maison recently to purchase our new home. We weren’t first time buyers this time, and have never been in a chain before so lots of this was new to us. I can’t recommend Paula and Louise highly enough. The whole transaction was made so much easier because Paula provided such an efficient service. She was informative, efficient, and helpful, and always kind and considered. We felt really comfortable having Paula and Louise involved in our transaction and it definitely helped us get where we needed to be. They were very communicative - often out of hours and on weekends which we really appreciated. They helped us work through insurance options too, which was also new to us. I’ll definitely be using the service again for my next mortgage, and will recommend them to anyone! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would ✨
Amazing from start to finish, helped us every step & made what would have been a stressful task very easy/simple. Massive thanks you.
So glad we chose Belle Maison to support us with our mortgage when we chose to move house. The service was second to none and Paula was always available to chat and talk through things with us. If you’re thinking about moving or doing anything in the way of mortgages then I absolutely recommend Belle Maison 100%. We will be forever grateful.
Cannot thank Paula and Louise enough! They’re responsive, efficient, honest and genuinely care about their customers and getting the best outcome as soon as possible. Communication, at every stage, has been second to none. Thank you, thank you, thank you for easing the stress, not adding to it!
A huge thank you to Paula & Louise, who made buying our first home so seamless. Buying your first home can seem like such a daunting process, but Belle Maison provides clear guidance on what’s required from start to finish. We would highly recommend Paula & Louise, they really are experts in their field. Super knowledgable & personable 😁.
Couldn’t recommend Paula & the team highly enough. Always had the answers, worked very hard to make our dream possible. Forever grateful.
Wow, what can I say....Claire's advice and support right from the very start was absolutely outstanding! Our application wasn't straight forward, but with Claire's vast experience and knowledge, she got us there to buy our dream forever home! Claire was patient, positive, professional and prompt in her responses (lots of P's there!), and also very flexible with appointments. I would 1000% recommend Claire! Thank you again Claire.
We would like to thank Paula for all her hard work, guidance, and support throughout our mortgage process. Her expertise, patience, and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. We appreciate how she took the time to explain each step clearly, answer all our questions, and ensure we felt confident in every decision we made. We're incredibly grateful for the care she put into helping us secure the right mortgage. Thanks for all your efforts, as we look forward to this new chapter in our lives with peace of mind. We definitely won't hesitate to recommend Belle Maison to our friends or family in need of a super reliable, personable and knowledgeable mortgage advisor! 😊 We would also like to thank Louise who was great at keeping in touch with us. She provided us with regular updates throughout the whole process😊
We would like to thank Paula and Louise at Belle Maison Mortgages. At just 21 years old we never thought we would be able to get a mortgage, never mind get the home we have. Thankyou for all the support, not even just with the house buying process, but with everything! I know Paula is only just a text away with any financial questions, even after the mortgage is done and dusted and we are in our home 🏠 Thankyou to you both, you really make dreams come true 💕
Thankyou so much to Jodi and Louise! We would have been lost without you, as first time buyers and not being familiar with the process you both helped us so much, would highly recommend thankyou again! X
Paula has always sorted out mine and my wives mortgages. First class, professional service. She always put you at ease knowing you’re going to get the best deal and are in the safest most trustworthy of hands. We won’t be using anyone else for our mortgage or insurances! Thanks again for your help over the years. All the best
The only word to describe Claire is, amazing. As a first time buyer with various obstacles in getting a mortgage Claire went above and beyond to help me purchase my first home. From the very beginning, Claire was friendly, reassuring and supportive all whilst being honest and managing my expectations. I am certain that if it wasn’t for Claire i wouldn’tbe sat in my home today as i would have given up. I would highly recommend Claire and the team at Belle Masion Mortgages.

If I could give 6 stars I would!! We contacted Paula in the run up to our remortgage date and from the very start Paula and her team were amazing. Paula went through a range of deals with us and secured us the best interest rate. We also chose to redo some of our life insurance policies as circumstances had changed since we took our original policies out, again Paula was extremely helpful and explained all the different options in detail so we could pick what worked best for us. I couldn’t recommend Paula and the Belle Maison team more, they make what can be a complicated process into a simple and seamless process, and Paula was always on hand to answer any questions we had!
We can't recommend Claire enough. She goes above and beyond for her clients. Wouldn't use anyone else.
first time buyer here, big help, guidenc, understanding. would recoment 100%
Paula and Louise have been fab from start to finish! No question I've had has been a bother or too silly, and they've helped make the entire mortgage process really clear - which is exactly what's needed as a first time buyer. Thank you ❤️
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Claire at Belle Maison as our mortgage advisor, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Claire was knowledgeable, approachable, and incredibly supportive. She took the time to explain everything clearly, found us a great deal, and guided us through every step of the process with patience and professionalism. What really stood out was how genuinely invested she was in helping us – she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and was always just a phone call or email away. Thanks to Claire, what could have been a stressful process felt straightforward and even enjoyable. We’re now in our new home and so grateful for all her help. We’d highly recommend Claire at Belle Maison to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor – she’s truly brilliant at what she does.
Biggest of thank you’s to Claire! She helped me through each step along the way all the way to completion day and even after! For someone who really doesn’t know what they’re doing (me) I’m super glad and grateful to have had Claire backing me the whole way, she made the whole buying process go super smoothly and was consistently chasing up solicitors for me when I wasn’t having any luck. 100% recommend Claire to anyone whose going through the buying process! P.S thank you for the cookies!!
Claire helped us find a new mortgage and change the deeds on the house. She was on hand throughout the whole process, ensuring that we understood everything. We totally trust her to do what's right for us and our circumstances. Very happy with the new mortgage product that she found for us. Thanks too to Louise - there was never a time that a communication was not promptly responded to. We were in the loop throughout, even when Claire went on a well-deserved holiday! ☀️😎
I’ll start this review firstly by commenting on Paula as a person, instead of Paula the mortgage advisor. Paula from start to finish of this process has been an absolute superstar. She’s been with us from the beginning and has shown such a keen interest in our lives as a couple, really taking the time to get to know us and what we wanted our future to look like. Paula is professional, compassionate and considerate, and unwaveringly supportive. As a mortgage advisor, Paula has given us exemplary advice, we know we wouldn’t have got the best deal had it not been for Paula. She really took us through every step in great detail and with such understanding, ensuring we were aware of all the pros and cons, which is really useful when you’re selling and buying a home for the first time! We never felt we were being hoodwinked or being sold something we saw no benefit in. Paula and Louise’s responsiveness was very quick which was very appreciated. We would 100% recommend Paula at Belle Maison Mortgages, and can’t wait to come back to her when it’s time to remortgage, or hopefully sooner if not to just check in! Thank you so much for everything!! Xxx

We honestly couldn’t have asked for better support than we received from Paula, our Mortgage Adviser. She has been the absolute best—knowledgeable, dedicated, patient, and truly invested in helping us every step of the way. We genuinely couldn’t have done this without her, and we’re beyond grateful for everything she’s done for us. A huge thank you as well to Louise, who has also been amazing throughout. Her support, responsiveness, and positive attitude made such a difference and helped make the whole process smoother and less stressful. We’re so thankful to both Paula and Louise—they’ve been outstanding from start to finish!
I highly recommend Belle Maison Mortgages, Paula and Louise provided incredible support throughout the mortgage process. They were highly knowledgeable, but also patient and approachable. Both were always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything was clear and stress-free. Their guidance made a huge difference, and I felt supported every step of the way. Thank you both x

It’s been a pleasure working with Paula, absolutely fantastic what she as done for me, couldn’t ask for better
Jodie was very helpful and she was always there when i needed her help as being first time buyers, she managed to get us a great deal despite work circumstances . Would highly recommend! Thanks so much
From the first phone call to completion of our new mortgage Claire has been amazing, always on hand to answers any questions or just generally listen to me vent 🙂 she has been fabulous, gone above and beyond to push the new mortgage through and just a genuinely lovely lady. Would highly recommend Claire for all your mortgage needs
100% recommend Jodi for anything relating to mortgages, insurance etc. Jodi has been brilliant with communication, explaining things to me, arranging meetings around my busy schedule and supporting me with the best decisions. I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for me and will continue to do for me! Amazing 👏🏼

I would 100% recommend Claire. I was a first time buyer with lots of questions and Claire was always able to answer them all and never made me feel silly. Claire was always there at the other end of the phone or email and would always get back to me promptly. Claire arranged my meetings with her around my working hours and was so flexible with me. I cant thank Claire enough. I would definitely use her again! Thank you so much 🤍
Claire at Belle maison has been amazing through my first time buy! Also Louise has been so helpful with getting updates.
Paula has been amazing for me & my partner! after being told from a previous broker it was near on impossible for us to get a mortgage, Paula searched and got us one really fast! She’s really amazing & professional! I would definitely recommend 🙂
We had an incredible experience with Paula at Belle Maison. As first time buyers who had no knowledge of how the process of buying a property works, Paula was there to guide us through the process. She ensured we got a great mortgage deal and the best insurances for our circumstances. We had lots of questions and often needed things clarifying but this wasn’t ever too much trouble for Paula. Everyone told us buying a home would be stressful but this wasn’t the case thanks to Bella Maison. A massive thank you to everyone at Belle Maison for helping us secure our first home.
Amazing service from start to finish. Made the whole process so stress free for us moving into our first home. Huge thank you to Paula and Louise, couldn't recommend enough!
We received a top class service from Paula and Louise throughout the house purchasing process. One sale fell through, but they were able to secure the best deal for us when we needed them again. I have and will continue to recommend this company to anyone looking to buy a home in the future.
We would absolutely recommend Claire and the belle maison team. not actually looking to move we saw our dream home 7 weeks ago with a deadline to be completed by 31st March I contacted Claire to see if she could help us arrange a mortgage. Claire quickly got to work sourcing us options going above and beyond nothing was too much trouble. Claire fitted in our calls around our busy work schedules mostly out of normal working hours to ensure that we had the best package for us and an offer in place ready for us to proceed. once the mortgage was in place claire sorted out our life insurance which has been made more complex due to my age and medical history she has found the best package for us to give us the peace of mind we need. fast forward 6 weeks after numerous emails, texts and teams calls we have finally got over the line and moved in ahead of schedule yesterday. We couldn’t have done it without Claire's patience and knowledge of the products she has access to. thank you so much Claire!!!
Couldn’t recommend Paula at Belle Maison Mortgages anymore! She made our house buying process so smooth and helped us every step of the way. We had one house purchase fall through and Paula was there to support us through it all. We are so grateful to Paula and Louise!! Thank you for helping us secure our dream home 🤩
New home weekend! Claire was absolutely amazing in the service she provided to me and my husband buying our family home! We saw our dream home and wasn't sure if we could make it work but Claire knew all the answers, with quite a complicated mortgage, Claire figured out the best deals for us! We are now settled in our new family home waiting on the arrival of our 1st baby. 🏠 We would 100% recommend Claire and Belle Maison Morgages to anyone that is looking to move 😍 thank you again. Lesia & Callum

We can’t thank Claire Knowles enough during our move process. Absolutely amazing service. Me and my partner were first time buyers and Claire was exceptional throughout. She had answers to all our daft questions and is a lovely person. Highly recommend, thank you once again!
Claire was recommended to us by a family friend and we’re so glad she was, she has helped us so much throughout the process. She was always available to speak to and respond to emails even out of normal work hours which when you’re working is a massive help! Each step was always explained to us and we were kept up to date constantly. We’re so grateful for all her help and would highly recommend. The present that she got us delivered to our new home really topped off the service!
I honestly couldn’t recommend Paula enough. I’m a mortgage advisor myself and I wouldn’t dream of using or trusting anyone else with my mortgage needs. This is my second time using Paula and following what could only be described as a really difficult time it just felt like I was catching up with an old friend. She is professional, knowledgeable and just an all round lovely person. She is always so prompt to respond to any emails, texts or calls. I will absolutely be back in the future, and would recommend Paula & her team to anybody!
Claire was so helpful, she talked us through our options and kept in touch with us throughout. Claire was so warm and friendly and talked to us in a way that made us feel really comfortable to ask a million questions and know Claire would answer them with patience and understanding. We’re now happily settling in to our new home and that wouldn’t be the case without Claire's help, THANK YOU!

Expertly Qualified
Our team of qualified mortgage advisers boasts years of experience. Some hold advanced qualifications, meaning that we have the expertise to work through any challenges you may encounter, particularly with complex situations.
What's the process?
Get in touch!
You can call, email or send us your details via our handy form. Once we receive your enquiry, we'll reach out to you to have a chat about what we can do to help you along your home buying journey. Following this we'll arrange a time for an initial appointment that suits you.
Initial Consultation
Your initial consultation can be done remotely over Teams, over the phone, or if you prefer face to face.
During your initial consultation with us, we'll take the time to understand your unique situation and discuss your mortgage needs. We'll ask lots of questions to make sure we can tailor our recommendations to suit your unique circumstances.
AiP
Your dedicated mortgage adviser will explain the buying process and will work with you to calculate how much you're able to borrow.
With your consent, a Agreement in Principle (AiP) can be completed which provides you with confirmation a lender is happy to lend based upon your circumstances. The AiP is a non-binding offer by the lender that they may be able to offer you a loan based on the information you have provided and subject to their underwriting requirements.
It should be noted that an AiP is not a guarantee that the lender will grant a loan.
House Hunting!
Once you have an Agreement in Principle, you are ready to start viewing houses! We will keep in touch until you have found the perfect home and are ready to apply for the mortgage.
Application and Completion
We will then complete the application with you with the chosen lender and submit all the necessary paperwork on your behalf, liaising with you, yours and the sellers estate agents and solicitors right through to the day of completion. We're not satisfied until we get a picture of you holding the keys to your new home!
