Excellent company
It's taken a long time for us to get around to writing a review (2023) but we would like to thank Max Mallison immensely for his support that helped keep our sanity intact through our application for a bridging loan. Our PTSD is receding somewhat but if it wasn't for Max we'd be in straight jackets! Our main lesson from this experience to anybody applying for a Bridging Loan is to thoroughly research the Lender's solicitor (cheaper not always being the best, as we all know) as this where our nightmare began. Any other solicitor company would have rubbed their hands in glee and remarked "Easy" as we were ideal customers in everybody else's eyes. All was settled and repaid within 8 weeks of us receiving the BL, a loan that took 10 weeks for it to be granted through "Friday Night Takeaways" as the solicitor company became known in our household with their endless shopping lists of questions every Friday evening (repeatedly asking the same questions but with a little tweak here and there). Thankfully Max and our solicitors used all their professionalism and expertise to push the process in a positive manner despite, what appeared to be but it could be paranoia, a solicitor taking a personal dislike to us and trying their utmost to scupper the procedure where we would have been denied the loan. Our conclusion is that we would never use the solicitor or their company if they were the last company on earth.

Very impressed with the friendly and professional service we received from Clifton Private Finance.
Dylan Humphreys who brokered our re-bridging finance was always readily available for any questions, and ensured the smooth progress with the loan application from initial contact through to fruition.
I would use their services again should the need arise.

Cameron @ Clifton private finance…
Cameron @ Clifton private finance secured me bridging finance for a property purchase, I needed to obtain this within 5 weeks due to a contracted completion deadline. Even with the lender asking me for what seemed like a never ending list of supporting documents we got it over the line with a day to spare! Would recommend
Highly Recommended for Multi-National Mortgage NeedsI was in the market for a mortgage
I was in the market for a mortgage, but due to my multi-national situation, my options were extremely limited. Other brokers struggled to find any mortgage providers, but when I reached out to Clifton Private Finance, Patrick was able to secure a mortgage from multiple options that others simply couldn’t.
The experience was professional, seamless, and incredibly responsive. If you have a complex financial situation and need expert guidance, I highly recommend reaching out—especially to Patrick. His knowledge and instant feedback made all the difference!
Highly recommended for difficult cases
We had a tricky proposition involving two connected mortgages that our first choice of broker said he couldn’t deliver. I randomly tried Clifton off the back of a Google search and spoke to Pat Ennis. He immediately saw a potential way through and put in a lot of work over a few months to get it over the line. As well as delivering sound advice, he’s a very nice chap to deal with.
Top marks to Sam Baker
Sam Baker put in a huge amount of effort to make sure our bridging loan came through in time to avoid the collapse of our chain. Friendly, professional, and very proactive. Thank you Sam!

Having been involved in property for 25 years we have just completed on a barn conversion. We want to thank Sam and CPF
for their expertise and professionalism throughout. We can honestly say one of the best Finance Brokers we have ever used.

First class service
I found Clifton Private Finance and Scott Dutfield in particular a pleasure to work with. Scott kept the process clear and simple with first class communication. I would not hesitate to recommend Scott and Clifton Private Finance to anyone thinking of using them.
Patrick
Patrick, you have done a great job - thank you.
After a Google search, from the outset of our initial enquiry, you were friendly, engaging and provided a strong sense of trust. I did not actually pursue alternatives as I felt confident that you would deliver - despite having never met you.
Throughout the process you have been always available and attentive. My wife and I are therefore very grateful for all your hard work and efforts made, as we remortgaged within the remit that we outlined to you.
Patrick, thank you very much for a very professional job. You did great. Be back in touch in a few years!
Bridging Loan
We highly recommend Fergus Allen as our broker at Clifton Personal Finance. He gave excellent advice to steer us towards our Bridging Loan goal and we appreciated his guidance and patience throughout the process from start to finish.
Bridging Loan Process
I worked with Simon to secure a bridging loan. I found him supportive and efficient in getting through the process. It's the 2nd time I have needed this type of loan and the experience through Clifton was significantly swifter, more professional and less stressful than my original experience with another broker.
Cameron at Clifton Private Finance…
Cameron at Clifton Private Finance provided an exceptional level of service, demonstrating efficiency, professionalism, and attention to detail throughout the process. He successfully executed our requirements within 24 hours, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience. His responsiveness and expertise were evident at every stage, making the process both efficient and effective. We highly recommend Cameron to anyone seeking reliable and prompt financial services. We are yet to find a company that can execute the way that Clifton Finance did for us.
Speed of response from Matt and clarity…
Speed of response from Matt and clarity was spot on all throughout the process.
Clear Straight Talking Advice with a personal touch 10/10
We used Clifton Private Finance for helping us with expat funding for a property in the UK. Alex and Jan were great, we got clear straight talking advice and a personal service which was most welcome. They were on hand to answer any queries we had, kept us well informed and stepped in to assist whenever we needed it. I'd definitely recommend them and will use them again. 10/10
