The reviews were correct, Paige is fantastic!
I read reviews on how great Paige was so made sure I asked for her when I initially contacted CPF and the reviews weren’t wrong, she has been exceptional to deal with over the last 3 months. She’s friendly yet professional and has guided me through the process with promptness and efficiency. I would highly recommend Paige, without hesitation, she really has been fantastic!

From start to finish, the level of service was brilliant.
expat looking to get a mortgage…
As an expat looking to get a mortgage in the UK for the first time in many years Clifton Private Finance were excellent in all areas. My initial contact, Alex Chambers, was a pleasure to deal with. His advice regarding the best options given my personal circumstances was invaluable and something I’d have struggled with if done on my own. Guidance was given on how best to complete the application process and all questions were answered quickly. The offer was received quickly once all the paperwork was submitted.
During the property purchase process Alex and Jan Guerin were always happy to assist wherever they could with the solicitors and the Bank in order to try and expedite proceedings despite them no longer having to be involved.
Professional and reassuring service
Professional, friendly and reassuring service from Darcie. A loan for a non-resident made clear and easy!
Dylan was supportive & professional
Dylan was helpful and positive from our first contact. He helped us secure a bridging loan and made filling in the paperwork much less daunting than it first seemed.
He was quick to respond to all questions and liaised with the lender’s solicitors to ensure that the whole process went as smoothly and quickly as possible.
Highly recommend.
Steer well clear of this company
spent a lot of time sending information over to Alex Morris, had to keep chasing him up to se if they could change my mortgage to another lender, he kept promising to get back to me but didnt, what a total waste of time Alex is, had to ring the main number to complain as he wouldn't answer the phone or emails,

Reply from Clifton Private Finance
This was our first time using Clifton
Great service from Nick Kersley at Clifton PF. He was friendly, professional and reassuring the whole way through the process. He kept in touch at all times, got us a good deal and we would definitely use them again.
Second time using Scott Dutfield and…
Second time using Scott Dutfield and both times he has provided outstanding advice, always kept me up to date and chased estate agents and solicitors on my behalf when required. Will definitely be using Scott again for future projects. Many thanks!
Simon was brilliant
Simon assisted us to find a bridging loan and was very helpful, patient and accommodating throughout. I will definitely be using his services again.
Simon & Paige
Simon & Paige
I had a great experience with Simon & Paige from Clifton finance , both were as eager as myself to get things done fast and efficiently and they were always one step ahead chasing up Enquiries to get the bridging loan dealt with as fast as possible . Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again .
Darcy and the team were exceptional
We had an outstanding experience working with Darcy and her team to remortgage and secure an expat mortgage at an excellent rate.
From start to finish, the process was smooth and efficient. The level of communication, attention to detail, and regular follow-up was truly exceptional.
We’re incredibly grateful to Darcy for her unwavering support, professionalism, and outstanding service — we couldn’t recommend her and this company more highly!
Professional & helpful, Highly recommended.
Through the entire process, Sam was responsive, caring and helpful. Everything was managed effectively & professionally, and his attention and help is very much appreciated.
This was the second time we had used Clifton and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

I worked with Ben on securing a loan for our company. Ben was super helpful and responsive. The rates were reasonable and the money was in our bank within a few days. Highly recommend!
Outstanding
If there were 10 stars, I would give them. Excellent, efficient service, got the best rates available on the market. Nick Kerley was brilliant throughout the whole process, I would definitely recommend Clifton and 100% use them again.
Incredible personal and professional service
I dealt with Alex from CPF who made it look easy compared to others.
Being a 'self employed' business owner on a salary of £12,500, most lenders wouldn't lend me what was required. Thanks to Alex at CPF, I ended up being able to borrow more than double what TSB could offer (using net profit + salary).
Alex listened, understood and I ended up with a product I am incredibly happy with. The overall service was exemplary - and we even had the chance to talk motorbikes.
My whole family are now moving into our dream home thanks to Alex and the team at CPF.
First Bridging Expericne
Scott from Clifton was very helpful and supported us in obtaining our first bridging loan. He was very responsive and answered all questions we had asked clearly.
Dealt with my complex circumstance
After experiencing disappointment with a previous broker (different company) due to my circumstance, Alex Morris took over my case with exceptional professionalism. I outlined my situation, and Alex secured a mortgage offer without any complications. Throughout the process, he maintained a high level of professionalism, I was able to arrange call or responses via email where needed e.g. to explain parts I found unclear. Thank you, Alex, for making the process stress-free.
