A* Brilliant service…
I love the fact that you deal with the same person throughout the entire process and our “person” Gillian was awesome, nothing was too much trouble and our calls and emails were dealt with promptly. If you’re looking for a loan with great rates and great support, I would highly recommend positive lending
Very quick turn around!
Very professional and made the process smooth, once the application was submitted offer and completion was completed within 1 week!
Exceptional customer service, could not fault.
Thank you.
Excellent service from 'Positive Lending'
All matters were dealt with in a professional manner for which I'm very grateful. The arrangement was finally instigated after a lot of grief for Ben and Mark caused by the inefficiency of the lender who were so slow to react, every time repeatedly asking the same questions!
They both did an excellent job navigating slowness and inefficientcy from the lender.
Well done and a big thankyou to you both.
John.
Excellent experience
Positive Lending were extremely helpful and efficient in assisting us with a remortgage application. Nothing but positive feedback for a company which seems in this instance to be very appropriately named. Brad McGonigle and Suzanne Brown worked on our case and could not have given us better service.
Declan and George!! I could not recommend Positive Lending…
I could not recommend Positive Lending any more if i tried. I am amazed by the professionalism, understanding and kindness of both Declan Thomas and George Downton throughout my application. Not only have they both got my case through in less than 3 weeks(!!), they have been attentive, informative and gone above and beyond in the service I have received. I was contacted throughout the entire process and at every update possible (by phone and email), which made the whole process simple and easy for me to understand. I will be telling EVERYONE I know to use Positive Lending and in particular Declan and George, I really can't say enough. Thank you so much for all you have done. 10/10 *****

Positive Lending are a very good company and very accommodating with every need, and go above and beyond. Steve Piper and all his team are very helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any one.
Highly commendable service
Highly efficient and professional service. Gillian and Brad were great to work with - friendly, clear and responsive.
Really good communication
Really good communication!
As a Mortgage Adviser I haven't used Positive Lending before but my experience was excellent. The communication and clarity throughout the process provided by Ed Barnes was superb and left me feeling confident the case was in good hands. It's now completed with happy clients in a home they may not otherwise have got, so all round a great result.

Absolutely brilliant service
Positive Lending has been absolutely amazing to work with. Suzanne Brown and Declan Thomas were incredibly helpful and made the whole process so easy for us. In just a few weeks, they arranged our second mortgage and helped us consolidate all our debts without any hassle. Their support and professionalism made a big difference, and we’re so grateful for their help. I’d highly recommend Positive Lending to anyone looking to make their finances easier to manage.
Great service & advice
Kieran & Gillian were extremely helpful and made the application very easy.
Brilliant service from Georgia and Dec at Positive Lending…
Georgia and Dec at Positive Lending have been excellent. Both have given me really clear advice and support throughout the whole process. I’m very grateful and would highly recommend Positive Lending.
Superb service from start to finish
Superb service from start to finish. Amazingly organised, efficient and friendly. Whatever financial help we need in the future we will use Positive Lending. Kieran and Georgia were brilliant and kept everything running smoothly. Could not recommend more highly.
Kieran & Gillian have been nothing…
Kieran & Gillian have been nothing short of amazing. The response time was very prompt and the whole process from start to finish was just under 10 days. 100% recommend.
Very good service
Very good service, very professiona, they helped me with a tricky BTL case that I was struggling to place
They really go the extra mile!
We couldn't have asked for a better service or more support that we received from Positive Lending. Everyone we dealt with was so helpful and professional, but we must particularly thank Gillian for really going the extra mile. She kept in regular contact, pushed hard for us and really fought our corner - I don't think we'd have got across the line without her! We really felt she was invested in our case and cared about us as people. Fully recommend with no hesitation.
Highly recommended for a personal tailored finance package for an unusual property purchase.
We were very impressed with the depth of knowledge Jake had on the various finance options available to us, for our unusual purchase. This was backed up with a very efficient service for financing options and amendments to suit our requirements. The process was enhanced by having Marie efficiently administering matters when the Solicitors started to slow .
We have been dealing with George…
We have been dealing with George Downton and from start to finish he has been brilliant. Communication is 10/10 with always responding quickly to emails or calls. Would highly recommend.
I can't thank David and team enough
I can't talk highly enough of David at PL, he was an absolute star throughout the entire process. He was engaging, clear with communication(s), supportive, willing to go the extra mile I believe, clearly very knowledgeable and generally an all round nice guy.
Also I find many companies have stars so you think the company is great, then you work with someone else within that company and you have a different experience. So the fact that Mark was able to support in line with very high benchmark set by David is also a testament to wider team and firm. This doesn't seem to be the norm nowadays in my experience.
I can't thank David and Mark enough and would highly recommend PL
