I have used Buckingham James for quite a few years now and I have been so impressed with consistent level of quality service that they have provided me as a customer. They have been very clear and thorough with everything they have done, provided and supported me with. I would highly recommend them to anyone and I will continue to use them for all my future needs.

Many thanks for taking the time to send us your thoughts Mr Frost. Hugely appreciated - as is your business and loyalty over the last 6+ years. Your recent mortgage was the 4th in that time. Wow!

My wife and I used Buckingham James back in 2016 when we completed on our new home. Their knowledge, attention to detail and customer service were second to none. They took out all of the stresses from a very stressful process, allowing us to focus on other priorities. We will certainly be using them again in the future and recommending them to others. Many thanks

Hi Mr Baker. Thank you so much for taking the time to send us a review. It's very much appreciated. Yes, 2016 was the first time for your move and we note the recent remortgage too. Thank you for 'Sharing The Love' by recommending us to your family and colleagues. Buckingham James Financial Services. May 2020. #ShareTheLove

Would Highly Recommend!!

I first used Brian to arrange a remortgage 18 months ago and found his service excellent. He was flexible with his time and promptly replied to all my questions. Even agreed to meeting me at 9 in the evening which really made things a lot easier. Brian has also just dealt with my BTL remortgage, he remembered the renewal date from our original meeting (which I am impressed with). Given the current economic climate I was so unsure how long to fix for that I ended up changing my mind twice (sorry Brian). He was so patient with me and dealt with it without fuss. I dont usually recommend financial service, however I have already recommended Brian to a number of my friends already.

Disappointed.

Even though these have been trying times we expected much more from the company as we'd been recommended to them. I feel they could have communicated a lot clearer and kept us updated properly on proceedings, what ever route they were going. There was no transparency on the route ahead for us. We accept that times are hard but telling us straight and being open and honest would have made all the difference.

Hi Mr Dixon. Many thanks for taking the time to give us feedback and we are sorry that you were unhappy. We do aim to please all clients and have a very good record of doing so, hence you were recommended to us in the first place but, on this occasion, we are disappointed to hear that this hasn't happened. We have looked into your personal file and, at any other time, the issues encountered would not have existed. Sadly COVID19, and the lock down has caused unavoidable delays with banks, lending processes have changed, as has borrowing criteria and, indeed, our own procedures and service levels have been affected. We have seen that decisions previously made by lenders have been overturned or changed and we, obviously, have no control over that. Having said that, we appreciate that the communication given to you could have been better and apologise. We wish you well for the future. Buckingham James Financial Services Ltd. May 2020.

100% recommend!

We used Brian when we had to remortgage our house. From the start Brian was so helpful and made the process so smooth for us - it was the first time remortgaging since buying our house so we were new to the process. He answered all our questions and made it so easy! I would (and have) recommend him to everyone and will continue to use Brian in the future.

Number 1 fan!

I have been using Brian at Buckingham James for my mortgages for the past 4 years and what a journey it has been. From buying our first home, buying an additional home and most recently helping me go solo and get my own mortgage! Nothing is too much trouble for Brian and he really goes above and beyond. He is always very reponsive, gives updates with progress, explains things in layman's terms when needed (without making feel silly) and above all, keeps me reassured, calm and positive! I honestly don't have enough words to explain my positive experience, time and time again.

Brian has been absolutely amazing in making my dream a reality and all in the current climate of COVID-19.

I rave about Brian to anyone that is thinking about starting their journey and have 2 friends that have contacted him recently, that are very impressed. I will definitely continue to recommend Brian to anyone and everyone! I look forward to remortgaging with Brian again in future.

Nothing is too much trouble for Buckingham James!

We have used Buckingham James for the last 3 mortgages. Last time, Jason provided the perfect service for us by coming round to our house one evening and taking us through our re-mortgage options. Face to face was much better than over the phone or email and an evening visit meant our working days were not affected. He took us through everything very patiently, nothing was too much trouble. Great service, would definitely use again.

Great mortgage advice and service!

Brian at Buckingham James has been helping us with our mortgages for the past 4 years now, from buying our first home, remortgaging and now moving in to a new home later this year. Given the current climate due to COVID-19 we didn't have a lot of hope for a new mortgage, but he managed to let us know of new mortgages as soon as they came out, and got the application in for us very quickly (which was approved!). Brian has always been very responsive, over email, phonecalls and WhatsApp messaging, and always keeps us up to date with progress, especially if time is tight like it was during our last mortgage application! We would definitely recommend Brian and Buckingham James to anyone, and we look forward to using them again in future.

5 stars from us

We’ve just completed another successful remortgage with Brian after he arranged our initial first mortgage. We are really happy with the service he provides - personal, honest, genuine and fun, whilst being knowledgeable and professional. We’ve never felt pressured to choose a particular product and he’s always on hand to answer any questions we have, no matter how big or silly. That’s why we recommend Brian and Buckingham James to all of our friends who are looking to re/mortgage, especially first time buyers as we know how stressful and confusing it can be. 5 stars from us - thank you for all of your hard work and patience!

A friend of mine had strongly recommended me Brian and Buckingham James Financial Services 3 years ago, I really thank him for that. Brian that I have been dealing with, is a very helpful person, he has always been there to solve any issues and give the best advice, especially recently with COVID-19 situation where there was a lot of staff shortage from banks he was dealing with, he managed to get the best deal within the required time. At any time I needed to speak with Brian, he was there via emails/phone calls/Whatsapp, etc., that's something I truly loved and appreciated it. Thanks a lot, Brian.
