Exceptional service and fast track solution

I recently had the need to use Clifton Private Finance to try and resolve a bridging finance need, with a very tight deadline. They were superb!

Simon Mullins from Clifton dealt with my initial query and worked with me throughout to find a solution which would allow me to access c£320,000 in very short notice. His ability to identify the need, the potential solution and diligence to engage the lenders (x2 possible lenders identified!) was superbly professional and focused on solving my problem. He was able to negotiate terms with the lender team and facilitate a fast but compliant legal solution for us.

I would absolutely recommend Clifton Private Finance - and Simon specifically - to anyone seeking a finance solution. Speak to the team, they're very good!

This is the second time I have worked…

This is the second time I have worked with Clifton. They were very helpful and most importantly kept the communication flowing to ensure the remortgage process was done.

We had some issues on the banks legal team which Clifton, in particular Jan and Aleisha helped to resolve.

I would really recommend the team.

Advice I can trust

Just coming to the end of a mortgage deal and my broker of 20 years has retired. Spoke to Alex and he provided clear transparent advice. He won’t make a fee from today but I will direct friends and family back to him in the future.
Thanks

Very helpful and effective

Very helpful and effective mortgage broker with excellent communication. Ours was a complicated situation due to income being in a foreign currency but the team at Clifton was able to get us sorted!

Credit to Dylan and team

I worked with Dylan to complete a loan. I had a limited financial history in the UK and he guided me through the process, understood my needs and helped me secure and complete the loan. He was a real partner in the process when I needed help and when I was really unsure of the options that I had. Thanks so much, Dylan.

Fantastic service for securing mortgage

I used Clifton Private Finance to secure a mortgage under slightly complex circumstances due to working abroad.

During what was an incredibly challenging property purchase, CPF was by far the smoothest part of the entire process. I was working to a tight deadline, and when several hurdles arose towards the end that could have jeopardised the transaction, it was their outstanding service that ensured everything was completed in time.

It’s refreshing to work with a company that genuinely values its clients. They consistently followed up, checked in on progress, and offered support whenever it was needed, which made a real difference during a stressful period.

I’d particularly like to mention Alex Morris, who arranged the mortgage and was excellent throughout, and Aliesha Southwick, who went above and beyond at the final stages to ensure my deadline was met by liaising between my solicitor and my lender.

A top-notch service from start to finish — I would absolutely recommend them.

Thanks, Nick Kerley. Highly recommend

I can’t recommend Nick Kerley highly enough. He went above and beyond to secure a bridging loan for my auction property purchase in an incredibly short timeframe, making what could have been a very stressful process feel smooth and manageable.

What really stood out was how carefully he listened to my situation and priorities. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, he genuinely took the time to understand my needs and worked in my best interest every step of the way.

His responsiveness, expertise, and dedication made a huge difference, and I felt fully supported throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a financial adviser who truly cares about their clients and delivers results, Nick is the person to go to.

I used clifton for a auction property

I used clifton for a auction property and they were brilliant.

I dealt with Nick, who gave up a lot of his time before the auction and after the auction to help ensure the deal can go through.

During this time Nick had a family Bereavement, and I was expecting a delay in communication. This was not the case. Nick called when he could and had other people on the case to help!

I can not fault the professionalism from Nick qnd the other guys from clifton who helped.

I will be using Nick and clifton again for future purchases!

Thanks again!

Dylan from Clifton Private Finance helped with securing funding for a building project and he was excellent. He kept on top of the process every step of the way and came up with solutions to problems as they arose. I would highly recommend him, he was a pleasure to deal with in what can be a stressful process.

Impeccable service!

I can’t recommend Clifton Finance highly enough, with a special mention to Ben Francis. He managed to negotiate a significantly better deal for me than other brokers, and despite the complexity of my case, he made the entire process feel straightforward and effortless. Thanks to his work, I received multiple offers from specialist private banks.

The process ended up taking longer than I initially expected, but Ben was incredibly supportive throughout. He was available daily, day or night to take my calls and messages, and he always responded to emails with impressive speed.

Without a doubt, he is the best broker I’ve worked with so far. I can’t speak highly enough of him and look forward to continuing to work with the team in the future.

6 Stars for Ben!!!

I would give Ben at Clifton Finance 6 stars if I could ! He was professional and diligent in securing a suitable business loan for our company . Always available to answer calls and emails promptly and answered all our questions throughout the process . He got us a few different options which was great as we could then decide which option would be best suited to us - in the end he secured the exact amount we were hoping for which was really great !!! It was an absolute pleasure working with him and I know this is the start of a wonderful business relationship with Ben and Clifton going forward .

Excellent work from Dylan Humphreys !

It was a pleasure to work with Dylan Humphreys who guided me through the process of acquiring a bridging loan.
It was an anxious and stressful time for me and Dylan was exceptionally professional, courteous, reassuring and patient at all times.
My phone calls and emails were responded to almost immediately with a clear and constructive response.
I would highly recommend Dylan, he made a complex situation so much easier to support.
