Paula has been amazing. This is my second time remortgaging with her.. She thoroughly explains everything that would be involved and found a great deal for me again. Paula was always on hand and very responsive to any queries and questions.. and the after care from Louise is also excellent I couldn’t have asked for a better broker with the best service from start to finish. I will definitely use Paula again in the future (if I ever decide to move again)
Outstanding service from Claire & the team. Always friendly, knowledgeable and always found time to make herself available for us. Also very patient in answering silly questions from two first time buyers. Thank you!
We have just completed our remortgage on our flat. Our case was complex due to paying my partner’s ex her share of the property and adding myself and removing her from the land registry as well as the complexity of mortgaging a leasehold flat. Katalin has been nothing short of amazing! She kept us updated throughout the process and even held meetings on a night where it was more suitable to us due to having young children. She has worked tirelessly to get us the best deal on our mortgage as well as the protection insurances. We will definitely be back to her in the future.
Absolutely obsessed with how smooth my home-buying journey has been thanks to Paula 💕🏡✨ She is honestly the most amazing mortgage advisor ever!! From start to finish, Paula made the whole process feel completely stress-free and easy, which I didn’t even think was possible 🥹💖 She was always there to answer my questions, explain everything in a way that actually made sense, and kept me feeling calm and confident the entire time 💅✨ Couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through such a big step 🏠💗 Thank you for everything, Paula – you’re an absolute gem!! 💎🌸
Great service from Claire and the team Very friendly and knowledgeable Always respond promptly. Would not hesitate to recommend. Five star service 🎉
Claire was fantastic, really helpful and really knowledgeable. Always available and responded to any queries straight away would not hesitate to recommend - five star service
We were recommended Belle Maison Mortgages by 2 different colleagues at work. From the first interaction we knew it was the right to use Belle Maison. Claire was fantastic through the entire process - Friendly, super knowledgeable, calm and o so helpful. We are first time buyers so new to all the home buying stuff. Claire helped us navigate the whole process, answered ALL our questions and took away our anxieties. Communication was top class from both Claire and Louise and we couldn't have wished for anything better! We would highly recommend Claire! Thank you!

Can't thank Jody enough for what she has done for myself and my wife with all the mortgage help. She was very professional and helpful and was always there to help with any problems or questions that we had. Can't recommend her enough. Thanks Jody.
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 🙂
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. ☺️
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!

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 🙂
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✅
Just moved into our forever home! Without Kelly this would not of been possible. She went above and beyond to make the process as easy and stress free as she could. Really helpful and gave us the best advice. Would highly recommend!
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.

I highly recommend working with Paula. I had had some changes from last time I was remortgaging and wasn’t sure what best to do for my next remortgage. Paula suggested and then found the perfect mortgage for my current situation all while doing the hard work for me. She was a joy to chat to and nothing was too much trouble with my many questions! Too top it all off my mortgage she worked on was approved by the lender in under 24hours helped by Paula’s professional work. I certainly plan to use Paula for all future mortgages I may need.
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.
Paula has been absolutely fantastic and I can’t recommend her enough. Our employment isn’t straight forward and not only did Paula work with us to get the best value deal that was right for us but she listened to us and answered my thousands of questions. Nothing was too much trouble. The peace of mind is absolutely worth it. Paula took care of everything for us and massively reduced the stress (and paperwork) of moving. We will be sticking with her for our renewal in a few years time and any future moves.
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
Claire has recently sorted out our new mortgage and has done a fantastic job, it wasn't a straight forward application but she worked like a trooper to get the best product for us, she's also reviewed our mortgage protection too. Would definitely recommend Claire, very professional and definitely looks after you.
brilliant service, Paula was great from the start explaining everything every step of the way and helping us find the best deals for us not only for our remortgage but our insurances. Would highly recommend, Thanks Paula and the team.
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 had an exceptional experience working with Claire throughout the home-buying process. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to finding the best mortgage option for us. She took the time to explain all the details, answered all of our questions, and ensured that we felt comfortable and confident with our decision. 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!
Would 100% recommend Paula for all your mortgage and insurance needs. We had be trying for 4 months to arrange an equity release on our existing mortgage to fund an extension and after loads of messing about we were offered a lower borrow than we needed with the condition of paying off other debts we hadn’t planned to do. We were at the point of giving up when I decided to try Paula for advice, within 8 days we had borrowed exactly what we needed at a better rate and with no conditions!!! Paula kept me informed the whole way through the process and was patient and helpful with all my questions and anxieties after such a bad experience! We also looked at our current insurance policies and discovered we didn’t have the level of cover we thought we had for the past 12 years!! Again Paula was able to advise on the level of cover we needed and recommended the best policies that actually pay out when you need it! Great for peace of mind and competitive pricing too. My only regret is that I didn’t contact Paula in the first place and wasted 4 months! Great communication, friendly, knowledgable efficient service, we will be back when the fixed rate expires in 2 years 😀😀
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 .
We have just completed our remortgage on our flat. Our case was complex due to paying my partner’s ex her share of the property and adding myself and removing her from the land registry as well as the complexity of mortgaging a leasehold flat. Katalin has been nothing short of amazing! She kept us updated throughout the process and even held meetings on a night where it was more suitable to us due to having young children. She has worked tirelessly to get us the best deal on our mortgage as well as the protection insurances. We will definitely be back to her in the future.
Paula was personable and professional throughout helping us with our mortgage and insurance & ensured we got the best rates available for us. Paula & Louise were continuously chasing the solicitors for updates on our sale & kindly dropped off a gift once we had moved into our new place. We would highly recommend anyone to use Belle Maisonette.
Claire is an amazing mortgage and protection adviser, she has been looking after my mortgages and protections for a very long time, would highly recommend her, she will always make sure she gets you the best possible deal she can . Nothing is ever too much trouble for her and she will break things down so you know exactly what she is talking about and not bombard you with all the technical terms.
Claire Knowles has been fantastic sorting a mortgage for our new home. From start to finish she has worked with us to find the best deal. She is highly recommended.

Would definitely recommend Paula for all your mortgage needs. She made the whole process hassle free and made sure we got the best deal for us.
Thank you Claire for all your help! Not just a mortgage broker- she also sorts out house insurance! You get the impression that this is not just a job for Claire! She genuinely cares and wants to find you the best deal! Would highly recommend!
Paula and Louise were fantastic in helping us find the best mortgage deal and insurances to suit are needs. They were always available to answer any questions, knowledgeable, friendly and filled us with trust and confidence. As first time buyers the whole process took under 12 week and we will be using again when our deal ends. Would 100% recommend.
I honestly don't know how people buy houses without Paula! I really couldn't recommend Paula highly enough, without her I doubt we'd have gotten the house of our dreams! Paula took us on after the banks said we'd never get a mortgage, and she got us an offer within a matter of days. She went above and beyond many times throughout the process, I feel like she was my counsellor as well as mortgage advisor😂 Paula explained every step of the process and gave regular updates so we knew exactly what to expect along the way. The best thing about Paula is that she is so unbelievably passionate about her job that she sacrificed (many) hours of her own personal time to help us get our dream home. The best in the business 🤍
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Working for a Mortgage Club I know how vital it is to choose the best Mortgage Advisor. I can say without a doubt that Claire is one of the very best. She is extremely knowledgeable, diligent and professional. Claire found us a fantastic mortgage and we had an offer within 24 hours! And even when her job was done and we were struggling with our Conveyancers, Claire continued to support us until completion. My husband and I highly recommend Claire. So much so that we've recommended her to a friend who has now purchased their first home thanks to her. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
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 👏🏼

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, an 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!

Paula has been amazing. This is my second time remortgaging with her.. She thoroughly explains everything that would be involved and found a great deal for me again. Paula was always on hand and very responsive to any queries and questions.. and the after care from Louise is also excellent I couldn’t have asked for a better broker with the best service from start to finish. I will definitely use Paula again in the future (if I ever decide to move again)
Outstanding service from Claire & the team. Always friendly, knowledgeable and always found time to make herself available for us. Also very patient in answering silly questions from two first time buyers. Thank you!
We have just completed our remortgage on our flat. Our case was complex due to paying my partner’s ex her share of the property and adding myself and removing her from the land registry as well as the complexity of mortgaging a leasehold flat. Katalin has been nothing short of amazing! She kept us updated throughout the process and even held meetings on a night where it was more suitable to us due to having young children. She has worked tirelessly to get us the best deal on our mortgage as well as the protection insurances. We will definitely be back to her in the future.
