cannot say enough good things about Paige Dumpleton

I cannot say enough good things about Paige Dumpleton. After a recommendation from a friend I contacted Paige seeking a bridging loan. Paige secured an offer at a far better rate than I had been offered with other brokers. She then kept everything moving, chasing everyone up and keeping me updated until the monies landed in my account. I will confidently recommend Paige to anyone and will definitely be using Paige again in the future.

Bridging loan …

I dealt with Cameron parry and he was more than helpful. I got a bridging loan and it was quite a complex application but Cameron made it go as smooth as possible.

Renovation mortgage bridging finance made easy

I had been working with a mainstream mortgage provider for many weeks when they finally figured out they couldn't lend to me because of the type of property I was trying to buy - a commercial property that was to be converted back to a residential property. I reached out to Clifton Private Finance following a Google search and a review of their offerings and their track record. Within the day Nick from Clifton got back in touch. Almost within the month I had the mortgage secured despite the complexity of the purchase itself and my own financial situation. This was in no small part to Nick's tenacity in moving things forward and his expert navigation of what needed to be done to get it over the line. Would totally recommend Clifton Private Finance for bridging finance as they minimised the stress as far as possible, made the terms of the financing being offered really clear, and got me a lender that gave me competitive rates and allowed me to buy the property I wanted to buy...... all in double quick time!

Bridging Loans are not something you…

Bridging Loans are not something you apply for everyday and the process can be challenging, confusing and stressful.
Simon Mullins at Clifton Finance was supportive from the initial approach and throughout the process.
From the initial enquiry I received a clear, personal breakdown of the rates and fees as well as projected total cost.
Simon was helpful and available to answer any queries and guide us through the application.
After deciding to proceed the process took slightly longer than we had expected ( mainly due to the lender’s inability to arrange substitute surveyor when their appointed surveyor was on holiday!) However, in retrospect, the time from application to completion was really not long at all.

Simple & very efficient

Alex from Clifton Private Finance made the application process very simple and he was very efficient - one phone call and 12 hours later we received the formal, unconditional, mortgage offer - would definitely recommend!

Paige Dumpleton found a bridging loan for me at a better rate than any other broker I had spoken to. I was a little skeptical because it was so much cheaper but Paige reassured me the entire time and followed through on every promise. She was always available to speak to and very helpful at chasing the lender and solicitor to complete the loan. I have already recommended her to a friend and will continue to use her in future. I am extremely pleased with her service.

Our broker Darcie was amazing!

Our broker Darcie was amazing ! She managed to find a way to help my parter and I buy the flat of our dreams in very complicated circumstances. Other companies would probably have said it wasn’t possible but she didn’t stop until she found a way. She has a warm and caring personality which helps when you’re navigating the obstacles that come up and the stress of buying a property. She was also nearly always contactable on the phone and always responded promptly to emails. She even worked from home on her weekend to help get our mortgage offer in time. Nothings was ever too much trouble and we would recommend Darcie and Clifton Finance wholeheartedly.

Paige Dumpleton is a bridging loan expert.

Paige Dumpleton helped us to obtain a bridging loan to fund an auction purchase on an extremely tight deadline.

She was committed, conscientious, caring and, it felt and we could see, completely dedicated to making sure we got the finance through and the deal across the line.

She went above and beyond in many respects, chasing the lender to speed up its processes, contacting our solicitors directly and staying closely involved even when the loan offer had come through.

Above all, it was lovely to deal with Paige, her approach always realistic, patient, polite and kind. Bridging loans and auction purchases can be demanding and loveless, it was invaluable having Paige on our side throughout.

Highly recommend 💯.

Rocky start but smooth end!

After a slightly rocky start with difficulties in securing an expat mortgage in the end the perseverance of Clifton paid off and I secured the mortgage I needed. The process took time but we got there in the end. Only criticism was not being informed of the difficulties at the beginning, I am sure they did not want to worry me but I would have preferred to know. Alex and Jan were very professional throughout.

Darcie was really diligent and patient in understanding our circumstances and seeking a competitive provider for our expat mortgage. The whole process took less than 4 weeks from enquiry to mortgage offer. Thank you Darcie and the rest of the Clifton Finance Team.

I have recently received a bridging loan with the help of Clifton Private Finance. I cannot speak highly enough of the senior finance broker Nick Kerley who helped me through the process. He made me feel at ease and comfortable from our very first conversation and remained extremely helpful and pro active throughout making it all smooth and stress free. I would have no hesitation recommending Clifton Private Finance highly and would definitely use again. Thank you Nick!

Great service

We approached Scott with the intention of taking some equity out of our property. He explained everything about a bridging loan and it ticked all our boxes and was quick too.

I would definitely recommend Scott as he is very knowledgeable and walked us through step by step all the way to completion.

Thanks again Scott.

Alex Morris from CPF was great!

Alex Morris from CPF was professional and immensely helpful throughout. Alex found me a mortgage very quickly when my previous offer fell through and previous broker was unable to help. I’m very impressed and would happily recommend. Thank you for saving our house purchase!

Bridging loan from Clifton PF

We needed a relatively small bridging loan to buy property prior to sale of current house. Assisted by Sam Baker at CliftonPF. Outstanding service from start to finish. Sam took us through the entire process, ensuring we were fully informed at all times, and was always available to discuss matters as required. I would highly recommend CliftonPF and most especially, Sam to anyone needing loan advice.
