Excellent work, 100% positive recommendation
Brian Leppard excelled on getting us through the mortgage process. Brian is very detail orientated and has done a pristine work chasing other professionals as appropriate to make the process as smooth as possible. As first time buyers it was very reassuring to have such a transparent and attentive customer service!

Best in the market
At the risk of repeating what seems to be a recurring theme in these reviews; I cannot recommend Buckingham James and especially Brian Leppard highly enough. Responsive, with great advice and assistance, Brian really helped guide us through what seemed like a mortgage labyrinth at the time. We have been a repeat customer due to our trust in the service.

Outstanding Service!
I was recommended to Buckingham James through a friend and it turned out to be an excellent choice! Brian Leppard was exceptionally friendly, easy to talk with, and knowledgable. As a first time buyer he explained clearly and simply the processes and options available to me. Communication was excellent throughout, and Brian was always available to discuss any queries, answer any questions and resolve any problems. Thank you again for all of your help, I will be in touch again for my remortgage! Thoroughly recommended.

We can't thank you enough and would 100% Recommend!

Amazing reliable service!
If i could leave 6 stars i most certainly would. I would like to thank Buckingham james for a consistent amazing experience but i would also like to personally thank Brian Leppard for his outstanding customer knowledge and care, from purchasing our first home to moving on to our new home. From start to finish he has been amazing and i would not like to remortgage without him. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a fast reliable service. Thank you again and we look forward to using you for any of our future requirements.

Superb service
I can not recommend this company high enough. We spoke with Brian Leppard when trying to arrange a remortgage and within the day he had emailed various options with accompanying pro and cons. All our questions were answered in a very knowledgeable and professional manner and we could not believe how speedily and efficiently the whole process moved forward to the extent that, despite the lender requiring a valuer to view the property, we received a formal offer within a week. Thank you Brian and your team.

Outstanding service
We have had 4 or 5 mortgages through the company now, Brian has handled every one and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. He is so on the ball, up to date with current guidelines and very efficient. He always gets us the best rate for our circumstances and is transparent with reasoning. Look forward to continuing on in giving you our business every year for the next 25-30 years.

Brian
Me and My Partner were first time buyers and had been recommended this firm. We had no idea about the processes or what needed to be done, when, how or why but after talking with Brian for a short while everything felt clear. He was so informative and it felt like he had all the time in the world to answer my 1000000 questions, no matter how small. With the knowledge he shared I almost felt qualified to do the job myself.
He kept in touch with us through the whole process and when things slowed down he was the person to get them rolling again, Even through these tough times nothing was too much trouble, everything was catered to our needs and specific circumstances.
Brian was a real down to earth, realistic, honest stand up guy. We were extremely happy with the service and would thoroughly recommend him to anyone.

Can't recommend enough!!
We we're recommended to use Buckingham James a couple years to get a mortgage for our first house, Brian was a massive help in making the whole process simple and easy for us to understand, with being first time buyers it was a bit daunting at first but in the end the service we received was amazing.
Brian recently got in contact with us to start the process of remortgaging, with everything going on in the world we thought it would be tricky to get this sorted, but again the whole process was a breeze and the service was received from Brian & Buckingham James was top class.
Can't recommended Brian and the team enough, looking forward to remortgaging again with them next time.

Superb service from start to finish!
From start to finish I could not have been happier with the service Brian has provided me. His personal touch makes the whole process so easy and his communication is superb. My remortgage was one less thing to worry about, as I knew it was in very capable hands. Every step of the way it is clear and Brian goes above & beyond to make the process as smooth as possible.
I cannot recommend Brian Leppard & Buckingham James Financial Services enough, you will not be disappointed!
Thank you Brian, I will most definitely be coming back to you in the future!

A first class, 5 star plus service!
The first class service we received from Buckingham James was second to none.
Everyone we dealt with was professional, courteous and transparent. They clearly are very experienced in this industry and everyone we spoke / corresponded with were on top of their game. Any question we had was answered extremely quickly and they ensured that everything was explained at each step of the way so we knew exactly what was happening and what was needed from all parties.
It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Buckingham James and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who requires financial services. 5 stars do not do Buckingham James justice!

The one Mortgage Advisor you'll ever need!
I rarely leave online reviews, but this is a special case, same as the special treatment and services I have received when dealing with Brian Leppard from Buckingham James.
I first met Brian when I was buying my first property back in 2016. As I did not have much experience in this, Brian managed to guide and advise me, in detail, throughout the whole process. He would provide the top mortgage deals available on the market and help me chose the most suitable option based on my individual circumstances, which was really important to me. He has got this personal approach to you and your situation, and his level of expertise is just outstanding, not to mention his punctuality and organisational skills that are second to none.
There are many people who can do their job, but there are very few who love what they do, and do it with passion - and Brian is one of those few.
I have just completed my second remortgage with Brian's help and, as always, received the top quality service.
I have also recommended Brian to two of my friends who successfully secured their mortgages and were extremely pleased with the service they received.
So, I definitely recommend Buckingham James services, and especially Brian, for everyone looking for a mortgage. I keep saying that this is The One Mortgage Advisor you'll ever need!

We first met Brian just over 6 years…
We first met Brian just over 6 years ago when we bought our house and our experience with him has been nothing but excellent. The range of products available to us is great, but it’s Brian’s customer service skills that really impresses us. He remembers everything from our previous remortgage, he responds to our many questions we have (at all hours of the day) and he is a really nice bloke that knows what he’s talking about. We always recommend him to people we know, you won’t be disappointed!

Re mortgage
This is the second time in succession I have re mortgaged with Buckingham James, I have dealt with Brian on both occasions and whilst the range of products is both staggering and competitive its the customer service that really sets them apart. Responses are always prompt and on time, I have never had to chase as updates are provided, they are always available and you can speak to somebody at all times, cannot recommend highly enough
