My partner and I got a mortgage through James Alexander and it was the most amazing experience from start to finish. James was so conscientious and professional. Extremely knowledgeable and helped us every step of the way. We are both self employed so we were worried it would be a complicated process to get a mortgage, however whole process was so easy for us thanks to the way James handled everything. He was available to contact whenever we needed him and we are delighted to be moving into our dream home. Thanks so much James.

I had the pleasure of being Surijit’s Dcosta client and despite every single struggle I faced, he had a solution for each and every single one! Truly professional, efficient, honest and friendly! Thank you so much for all your help these past few months - it has been greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Surijit Dcosta.
Fantastic Mortgage Firm
I recently made an enquiry with Winstree regarding mortgage and protection options, and I was really impressed by the service. Kris and the team were friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to respond. They took the time to answer all my questions clearly and made me feel confident moving forward. I appreciated their professionalism and helpfulness throughout the enquiry process. Definitely a team I would recommend!

Outstanding broker and service.
We were introduced to Kris and were delighted by the service. Kris made us feel at ease throughout the mortgage application steps and was very persistent to ensure we received our offer on time with great communication throughout the entire process. Despite all of the hurdles we had to go through, Kris ensured everything was smooth and took care of everything in a timely fashion. We highly recommend Winstree Financial Services for someone looking to buy a home, particularly if you're first-time home buyers like we were.

Re Mortgage
Kris and team have organised mortgages for me for 3 properties. Again this was a smooth process. I highly recommend using them.
Very helpful
Extremely helpful, especially for first-time buyers unfamiliar with the process. The team takes the time to explain each stage clearly and patiently. They maintain excellent communication throughout and are always available for any inquiries. Their efficiency and professionalism make them highly recommended.
Malicious spam
Yet more unsolicited spam from this company that you cannot unsubscribe from. I have never heard of them, yet my inbox is filled with their emails trying to sell me mortgages and life insurance. I thought the UK was subject to GDRP laws but apparently not, since I have never heard of this company yet somehow they have acquired my contact information and are spamming me daily. Wouldn't recommend this company at all, given this unethical and illicit practice.

James Alexander
James Alexander, if I begin I'm afraid I will not know where to stop.
I came across an email one day back in November 2024 from doddle whilst working from home. Something just told me to check it out, call it devine intervention or meant to be, so I opened the email and selected the link.
I followed through with the procedure, like everyone does when they see a ray of hope and something that might just be possible to help them. Before long I was contacted by James and from there became the beginning of a wonderful, amazing and successful journey.
I can honestly say that from the onset via text and then speaking to James, I felt something very good, sincere and genuine about him.
From that November 2024 this amazing man with his knowledge, his experience of the financial industry and so appreciative and understanding of the state of the economy in the UK and what we all going through in these difficult times, my journey began, having regular daily contact with James who was determined to help me.
Having lived a professional life and done a professional job, that is not on land but at sea and with very little knowledge or experience with what I was planning to engage in to help my circumstances to sustain and provide for my family given the state of things which everyone knows, struggling and to survive.
James helped me understand the dynamics and policies, the requirements and procedures to embark on such a journey. Not only did he do this but he went over and beyond the call of duty from morning, noon and well into the evening.
I stand in awe of someone so committed and sincere to the wishes of another human being.
I regard him as a true gentleman and professional in his own game because a true professional, not only deliveries because of his own experience and knowledge, but because of his empathy and appreciation of the wishes and wants of his client.
I cannot fault him, nor can I express any doubt from the onset of opening dialogue with him, as well as throughout the entire process and the honest sincere commitment of James to deliver, as first advised and then promised.
I thank James knowing now that there really is someone out there who understands and appreciates people out there who need help. James Alexander of Winstree financial services limited, should be recognised, contacted and embraced, that which you need in your life when it matters.
James has completely reassured me without a shadow of a doubt, he can be relied upon, trusted and will deliver in the end, something which I believe to be the core of him and who he really is. Thankyou James for everything you have done for me and helping my family, in my eyes you’re an absolute ‘star, a top man chief! That’s a Romeo as they say in the merch’navy! …..or a big 10-4 buddy! JC
Professional and efficient service
Professional and efficient service.
In my experience, every step was explained to me in a way I understood. James Alexander was friendly and kind which made a huge difference. In an age where we mostly deal with automated services, it was very reassuring to have someone on the other end of the telephone readily available to ease your anxieties. I would highly recommend them.
