Paula's Reviews
Could not recommend Paula and her team enough. As first time buyers, we didn’t really know where to start. I found Belle Maison Mortgages through Google and messaged via email. Paula & Louise have been amazing throughout the whole process. If you are thinking of going with Belle Maison, you should! Truly thank you so much, we could not of done any of this without you. ☺️
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.
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
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!
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 ❤️
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
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.
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 🤩
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!
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!
We’ve used Paula for all our house moves and we’ve always received the most outstanding service. She really goes above and beyond to get you the best deal and I can honestly say she’s an expert at what she does. Paula has the right balance with her professionalism and making you feel instantly comfortable. Thank you for everything Paula. Kelly & Tom x
Had the best experience with Belle Maison. As a solo first time buyer, I was going in blind and didn’t have a clue about mortgages. Paula made everything so clear and easy, she explained the whole process in such a friendly and non-judgmental manor, which was something I was worried about since not having any knowledge on the whole thing. Being self employed I expected it to be more difficult to get a mortgage offer since I only had one years worth of accounts, however Paula managed to apply for and receive a fully agreed offer within 48 hours! Louise was brilliant with chasing up solicitors and making sure things were on track from start to finish. All my questions were answered and the team were very easy to contact and I always received prompt responses. Highly recommended Belle Maison to everyone, thank you again!
5⭐️Highly recommended Paula and her team for your mortgage, remortgage and any insurance you require! Buying our home and organising our insurance was made stress free from the moment Paula picked up our case. Work schedules are always busy and Paula was accommodating and took the guess work away. Paula and her assistant Louise never missed a beat and kept us up to date throughout and any questions were answered in a timely manner. We were informed every step of the way and they chased our solicitors to ensure a timely completion. When making insurance choices Paula went through each option in depth to ensure that our needs and requirements were met to enable us to get the best deal. Belle maisons commitment to finding you the best deal, professionalism, expertise and friendly compassionate manner are the reasons I would never hesitate to recommend! Thank you ☺️
Paula helped us navigate through every stage of finding and applying for a mortgage. She was consistently contactable, and routinely checking for any improved mortgage offers right up to the exchange of contracts. Louise ensured our solicitors weren’t dragging their feet and chased for updates without us having to ask. Paula also helped us understand and ultimately choose the best insurances for our situation, ensuring we got the best prices available, with the best terms. Being there to hold your hand throughout the whole process, Belle Maison Mortgages really does make a notoriously stressful part of purchasing a house as plain-sailing as it can possibly be. No hesitations in recommending them at all, thanks Paula and team!
Fantastic experience buying a home with Belle Maison. Attentive, compassionate and consistent all the way through from enquiry to completion. Paula and Louise did a stellar job answering any and all questions that we had, and guided us through the process brilliantly. Highly recommend for all things home and insurance. 5 ⭐️
I would highly recommend Paula and Louise, they were helpful and knowledgeable throughout the whole process and kept us informed at every stage. Being first time buyers, we wouldn’t have had a clue where to start or what to do. Thank you both again ☺️

CALLING ALL FIRST TIME BUYERS! Being a first time buyer I didn’t know where to start, my busy work schedule left zero time for me to chase up all the right people and get all the arrangements in order. Thankfully Paula accommodated and worked round me, she communicated with the estate agents and solicitors, helped me book viewings all the way to filling in solicitors paperwork. I literally had nothing to worry about Paula handled everything from getting the best mortgage to making sure I was fully protected with the right insurances. One minute you're answering a few questions and the next you've got a date to view a house. In no time at all I was a homeowner all thanks to Paula's quick and efficient service✅
Paula made remortgaging easy for us. Happy to answer any and all questions when needed, nothing was too much for her. Lovely lady and will use in the future! Thanks so much for your help x
Me and my husband couldn't recommend Belle Maison enough. Paula was absolutely amazing from the get go and really helped take some of the stress away that comes with moving house. We really couldn't have done it without her. If you need a mortgage advisor- look no further 🙂 x
Paula and Louise were phenomenal throughout, always kept me in the loop, reassured me and answered any and all questions I had. Would highly recommend Paula for anyone, especially first time buyers like myself, as she made the whole process so much easier. Thank you both for getting me into my new house!

We used Paula to purchase our first home and she was knowledgeable and so helpful. As first time buyers, we wouldn’t have known where to start. Paula and Louise made the process stress free, I would highly recommend to anyone. Top class service👍🏻
Returning customer to Paula at belle maison. They helped me to remortgage my previous home and pay off the help to buy scheme which put me in a much better financial position. This time around belle maison helped me and my partner purchase our forever home. Paula also managed to find a cheaper rate close to our move in date which end up saving us just under £80 a month. I would definitely recommend using belle maison for anything mortgage or insurance related!
We can’t thank Paula enough for everything she did to help us buy our home! After losing hope with a previous mortgage broker, and nearly lost our dream home, Paula was introduced to us, solved the problem and secured a mortgage for us within 48 hours! Amazing from start to finish and couldn’t recommend her more ⭐️
Review for Paula, My Mortgage Advisor, and Louise, Her Assistant I had the pleasure of working with Paula, my mortgage advisor, and Louise, her dedicated assistant. From the moment they picked up my case, they demonstrated exceptional commitment and professionalism. Last-Minute Weekend Assistance: When my mortgage application hit a critical point over the weekend, Paula and Louise stepped in promptly. Their availability and willingness to work during non-business hours were truly impressive. Guidance Every Step of the Way: Paula and Louise guided me through the entire process, ensuring I understood each stage. Their expertise helped me navigate complexities, and their patience eased any anxieties I had. Efficiency and Speed: Paula’s knowledge of lenders and mortgage processes, combined with Louise’s organisational skills, ensured that my case progressed swiftly. They worked tirelessly to secure my mortgage offer and kept me informed at every turn. Personalised Service: Paula and Louise didn’t treat me like just another client. They took the time to understand my unique situation and tailored their advice accordingly. Their personalized approach made all the difference. Completion Date Achieved: Thanks to their dedication, I’m thrilled to announce that my completion date is set for tomorrow! Paula and Louise turned what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth journey. In summary, Paula and Louise are an exceptional team. Their commitment, expertise, and genuine care for their clients make them stand out. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking mortgage advice. Thank you, Paula and Louise! 🙌
Paula and Louise made buying our first house an enjoyable experience. They guided us through the process and made sure every box was ticked. We didn’t think we would be able to buy a house yet because of the nature of our work contracts, but this was made possible by the expertise at Belle Maison. We can’t thank them enough and recommend their services without hesitation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Paula and Louise have been absolutely fantastic at helping us secure our first mortgage. They explained the steps of becoming a home owner in a simple, yet thorough way, which was easy to understand. We wouldn’t have felt confident taking the big leap into home ownership without their help. As someone who had temporary work at the time, I didn’t think it was possible to get a mortgage, but they made it possible. Thank you, we really can’t recommend Belle Maison enough!!
A fantastic service provided by Paula and Louise. Kept up to date through the entire process and all of our questions answered. I would definitely recommend the company and team, and already have done. Thank you again.

Claire's Reviews
Claire has been amazing with me and Jack from start to finish. For 2 people who knew very little about the house buying process, Claire has ensured everything was explained clearly, queries are always answered (Whatever time of the day) and no silly question is silly enough! We would highly recommend Claire, she is great at what she does 🙂
Claire was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Extremely knowledgable and professional while still remaining approachable and a joy to talk to. She was always available when needed and easy to get hold of. I highly recommend her services to any first time buyers who need that bit extra support and guidance. Her thoughtfulness even extended to a ‘welcome to your new home’ gift of delicious cookies, 5 stars!

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.
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.

We can't recommend Claire enough. She goes above and beyond for her clients. Wouldn't use anyone else.
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! ☀️😎
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
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.
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!!!
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.

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!
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!

Great experience with Claire. Took us through everything and was always super quick to answer emails/phone calls. Would highly recommend! Thanks Claire!
Amazing service, Claire always goes above and beyond in every way. I genuinely wouldn't go anywhere else.
Amazing service, I would never go anywhere else for any of my mortgage needs.
Fantastic, friendly service. Above and beyond what you would expect! Made buying our first home less stressful knowing our mortgage application was in safe hands.
I would recommend Claire to anyone applying for a new mortgage. She is extremely knowledgeable, is patient and compassionate towards a newbie like me especially☺️ No matter how small or big your question is, she strives to find the answer for you. She is extremely patient in her approach and does not make you feel uncomfortable at all xxx
A totally 5 star experience with Belle Maison and our advisor Claire… they took all the stress out of the mortgage application process!
Claire was super helpful and friendly. Very happy with all her hard work. Would recommend to family and friends. Thank you!
Claire is the most amazing lady, me and my partner purchased our first home this year and I don't know what I would've done without her. Everything was stress free from start to finish, no question felt like it was a stupid question and the overall epxerience was 11/10. I am forever grateful for Claire. xxxx
I cannot recommend Claire anymore she is absolutely amazing at her job, so knowledgeable, so understanding & will always try her hardest to get the best possible outcome suited to you. Claire is so friendly and so down to earth, she made my whole buying process seamless, no question was ever too silly. If you are looking for a mortgage advisor Claire is it. Highly recommend. I cannot thank her enough for all she did for me during my buying process.
Claire was absolutely incredible sorting out both our bridging loan and porting our mortgage to our new home. We would never have been able to do it without Claire and all her hard work and expertise. She worked incredibly hard on what turned out to be a very complicated and frustrating experience (thanks to our existing mortgage provider) but Claire kept us up to date and informed at every step of the way. She went way above and beyond what I would have expected of a mortgage advisor and we are incredibly grateful for all her dedication and hard work. I would definitely recommend Claire to anyone needing mortgage advice. Thank you Claire.

Claire was always responsive, kept us updated at every step, and made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and straightforward.

We would highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a mortgage!
Claire is extremely knowledgeable and very talented at what she does. This is the third time we have worked with Claire and would never use anyone else to be honest. Nothing is too much trouble and we do often push these boundaries throwing all sorts of queries at her! Claire is kind, friendly and always honest with us. Regular contact from Claire and her team keeps us reassured that things are still happening in the background. I would 1000% recommend her services to anyone (we often do as well)

Claire has been amazing for us and we really couldn't recommend her highly enough. Claire has explained everything to us brilliantly, and has been so helpful with her advice. Claire put in so much effort with our new mortgage, responding very quickly to queries and submitting our mortgage applications in a very speedy manner. Claire also updated our mortgage application and got us a new mortgage offer when interest rates fell at short notice - saving us a considerable amount of money over our mortgage term. We would definitely recommend Claire to anyone!

I have no hesitation recommending Claire for all mortgage and protection needs. She is very professional and knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to make the house purchase process seamless, even answering a late evening phone call the night before she was going on holiday!! We needed her help to get a quick decision on the approval of a Buy to Let mortgage so we could put in an offer, which she did without hesitation. If you need advice arranging a mortgage then get in touch with Claire. She is simply amazing at what she does. She is also a lovely person too. Thank you Claire. Xx
Great experience all round with a somewhat tricky mortgage situation to sort out but all went like clockwork and Claire's attention to detail and problem solving was top notch. Great service would definitely recommend!
Claire has been amazing from start to finish. We couldn't be where we are now without her! She is so hard working and you can rely on her to get the job done! She is so thorough and kept in contact with me non stop. She reassured me throughout the whole process and is so kind and caring. The best women for the job. I couldn't have dreamed for a better Mortgage Broker. She made it happen for us even when we thought it wouldn't. Thank you so much Claire X
I leave this review grinning from ear to ear! This is all thanks to Claire. Not only have I just completed the purchase of my first home but she has made it possible to keep my grandmas family home with us. She has had to jump through ridiculous amounts of hoops to get this job done and she has done it all with a smile! She has advised every step of the way, the reasurarition and constant communication were second to none. This has been a long process and at times it looked dull, but Claire picked us both up and explored every Avenue and got us to the end!! Won’t be going anywhere else for hopeful future purchases!! What a Gem in all aspects. Thank you again Claire it really means the world to us. Your efforts are greatly appreciated and the mortgage world doesn’t seem so horrid when you have you by your side. Keep doing what you do.. most of all keep smiling 😃💙
Claire was amazing from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble, even ringing us on weekends to make sure things were sorted. Everything was done within the space of a couple of weeks which made the process so much smoother. There was regular follow up and prompting of solicitors to make our journey even easier. To top of it we even got a moving in present which was totally above and beyond! Thank you so much

Jodi was absolutely brilliant and made everything as seamless as possible. Highly recommend! Thanks again for getting us the best mortgage deal 🙂
Jodi was the third mortgage advisor I had tried in order to remortgage and then potentially sell my house. She was the only one who managed to complete the process with me and fully understood our rather complex situation. Thought out the process she was helpful, easily contactable and her skills and experience definitely made the situation less stressful. I’m already using Jodi again for my next project ☺️

We have recently just completed our remortgage with Jodi and we cannot recommend her enough. The whole process was easy and smooth from the start. Jodi managed to secure us a good deal and nothing was too much trouble ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ highly recommend
Jodi Kendall delivered outstanding service, expertly guiding us to secure the best mortgage deal. She provided clear explanations throughout the process and proactively searched for better options, ultimately securing a deal that saved us a significant amount of money. Her diligence and expertise were truly impressive.
Great ownership, from start to finish. Plenty of options and keeping me up updated on every stage. Personal approach is greatly appreciated, will definitely use again!
After a speaking to a couple of mortgage advisors in the past and not getting anywhere, I was introduced to Belle Maison Mortgages and Jodi. From the first call we had, I got the feeling the ball was rolling, and that was all down to Jodi. Even though the process took some time, Jodi was constantly working on bettering my offer, and managed to reduce it three times in that period. From a first time buyer who was completely in the dark about the whole process of buying a house, I would highly recommend Jodi and her services. 10/10
Jodi was super helpful throughout the whole process of remortgaging our house. It was our first time having to go through this process so Jodi was amazing and answered all our Qs!
