A first class experience.

A first class experience.

My first mortgage payment just came out and I have Craven Financial to thank for that!

Simon made my whole mortgage process so much easier than I expected. I was a first-time buyer, I had no clue what I was doing, but he took the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense. He didn’t just find me a good rate, he made sure it was the right fit for me and my situation.

He was unbelievably present throughout the whole experience. He checked in regularly, kept me updated without me having to chase, and was always at the end of the phone when I had questions (which was often). He kept touch with me even post completion which I found was a great touch!

He really knows his stuff, but more than that, he actually cares. Made the whole thing way less stressful, and I’d 100% recommend him and Craven Financial!

Outstanding!

Outstanding!

Howard was our mortgage advisor at Craven financial and he was absolutely brilliant. He was thorough, detailed, patient, and supportive throughout the whole experience. Ours was quite a specialist mortgage, and so he went out of his way to help us navigate through the banks requirements and our documentation. We knew we could ask him questions about any aspect and he would provide a response really quickly.

Would 100% recommend anyone looking for support with securing a mortgage, and their fees are incredibly reasonable too. Thank you Howard and craven financial – we are excited for our future in our new family home.

Outstanding Personal Service

I was given Danny’s name by Raine and Co Estate Agents in connection with a remortgage on a buy to let property. I had already been in touch with The Mortgage Works and passed their initial checks so my first conversation with Danny was that I probably wouldn’t need a mortgage broker. He offered to do some additional checks, with no obligation, and it turned out the property was one on which TMW would not lend to us. It then made sense to ask Danny to see if he could find a lender and he came up with a number of remortgage options, one of which we have now taken up. Previous experience means I don’t have much faith in those in the financial services industry. Indeed, these days it is quite unusual to find someone in any service sector that you can be confident are professional, competent, efficient and actually a nice person to work with. Big thanks Danny, your personal service was outstanding and I have no hesitation in recommending you.

Outstanding Service, Highly Reccomend

Dealt with Jason to secure a mortgage, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I have arranged multiple mortgages with him over the years, he has also demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication to finding the best option for me.

My options have always been well presented. He has always been willing to answer questions, often going above and beyond to explain the process in a clear and straightforward manner.

All in all, a pleasant and professional experience. That has made even the most challenging circumstances seamless and stress free to get the mortgage i’ve needed.

I would highly recommend to anyone in need of mortgage advice or support.

"Outstanding Mortgage Adviser

"Outstanding Mortgage Adviser – Highly Recommend!

I cannot recommend Danny Payton enough as a mortgage adviser. He was absolutely excellent in every aspect of the process. Danny consistently went above and beyond, always returning my calls and messages, even on weekends, which really shows his dedication to his clients. He took the time to explain every deal available to me in detail and ensured that I fully understood my options. His professionalism, knowledge, and patience made the entire experience stress-free. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and will work hard to get you the best deal, Danny is the one to go to!"

Always helpful and responsive


Over the past three years, we’ve received exceptional advice and support from Danny at Craven Financial. He has guided us through various aspects of the mortgage process, always remaining friendly, helpful and responsive. We are particularly thankful for his assistance when our chain fell apart last year, as well as his determination in securing a great deal on our second attempt to buy. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Thank you, Danny!

Incredible service, would strongly recommend

Danny not only secured us the best rates for our mortgage and life insurance policy but also gave us excellent advice generally.

He was very professional, friendly and patient throughout and always ready at the end of the phone to answer any questions we had, and he kept us well updated on progress at every stage. We are very grateful for all the time he took helping us. What was quite a difficult process became much easier with Danny's assistance.

Thanks also to Perin for her help and support, we would definitely recommend Danny and the team!

Highly highly recommend

We can’t thank Simon enough for all his help buying our first home. He has excellent customer service, explains everything really clearly and took the stress out of the whole process. It was a long process for us with some failed purchases due to surveys, sellers withdrawing etc but Simon was amazingly patient and stuck with us throughout. Thank you so much!

Simon was instrumental in securing our recent re-mortgage deal, and we couldn't be happier with the experience.

A great experience, would highly reccomend.

Danny helped us with our Mortgage and we couldn't be any happier with the service. He was extremely helpful throughout, getting us a rate we are really pleased with. Danny went out of his way to help us with other parts of our house buying process which were completely out of his remit which made us feel so much more confident as first time buyers. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an advisor.
