Re Austyn Johnson
On a scale of 0 to 10 where 0 is ‘not at all likely’ and 10 is ‘extremely likely’, how likely or unlikely would you be to recommend your adviser to your family, friends and/or colleagues? 10 - Extremely likely
Please explain your reason for the above score. Very good customer service, have already passed details on to family
What can we improve? I don’t feel that there is any need to improve.
What were you most impressed with? How friendly and knowledgable the advisor was

Subject: A brilliant experience
Dear Howard,
I just wanted to drop you an email to express how brilliant Victoria Bennett has been through my house buying process. She has certainly gone above and beyond to make my house buying experience go as smoothly as possible.
From endlessly chasing solicitors, making herself available during my none teaching lessons and answering my stupid questions - she has been simply brilliant.
I will certainly recommend her to all friends and family in the future.
Kind regards,
Lauren

Priya 22/12/2020 Austyn Johnson From initial conversation with Austyn which was a result of a cold call to him following issues with existing broker, his level of reassurance that he could resolve the issue we were encountering led to us appointing him to act for us for two BTL mortgages. These were smooth and efficient transactions and any bumps in the road were expertly navigated, his attention to detail and ownership of the process is second to none as he stays close to the application as if it was his own. Absolutely superb. Additionally, due to the high quality of service we have also purchased a number of life insurance protection products.

He wanted to know my priorities first and then found products which might suit, and gave me very good advice not to look simply at interest rates which is what I did at first.
Very happy with the service and time he gave. His thoroughness and the care he took to understand my needs and requirements, and explanations he gave in a financial area, where my own knowledge and experience was nil."

"Howard is very knowledgeable. As a customer I don't always know what I need in terms of insurance as it is something that doesn't often cross my mind. But I have a general idea of what outcome I want to achieve.
Howard has the knowledge to put some options forward after listening to me and through discussion.
He is always very polite and patient. He is easily accessible through email and responds in a timely manner to communications which I find very reassuring, whilst in an otherwise stressful situation such as selling and buying a house.
I felt reassured that the best options had been presented, and choices were given. I did not feel pressured."

Many thanks for your help and advice!
Andreea Bejan 4th December 2019
We could not be happier with your service, it really was first rate.
We thank you.
But on a more personal note, Jenny, our advisor, has to be one of the nicest, most professional, and helpful people we have ever dealt with in our life. That is no exaggeration.
At every stage of the process, every hurdle and obstacle ( and there were many of these, most of them, to be honest, caused by our lack of knowledge ), Jenny held our hands through it all.
She was always patient with our lack of ability in getting all the documentation needed, always had the answers to our questions, and always explained things so that we knew exactly where we were, at every step.
Her commitment to our needs was amazing, and it felt like we had our own, personal, financial advisor, who was just waiting at the end of the phone, for our calls and queries.
We cannot praise her enough, and if the rest of your staff are anything like as good as her, then we must say a massive well done to you all.
Peter Bone 15th December 2019
Thank you to Howard for talking me through every detail and answering (my hundreds of) questions so patiently!
Took the stress out of so many decisions for me.
Jaymie-Leigh Baker 10th December 2019

Oana did an amazing job all the way through, she was always there to answer any questions.
Her professionalism was way above expectation.
Mariana Tatu 2nd October 2019
John Constant has diligently taken care of all of our mortgages/remortgages over the last 10 years.
Each time, he's worked efficiently to take care of everything, making the process smooth and hassle free - he works proactively and preemptively to ensure that no detail is missed.
I wouldn't for a second consider future remortgaging without John's expert assistance!
Dan Ambrose, 7th November 2019
Oana, I really appreciated everything what you doing for us.

Hazel FitzSimons 2nd September 2019

I could not have felt in better hands through my journey in organising my life insurance and critical illness cover.
John at HD Consultants is so thorough and always had my best interests at heart the whole way through the process.
He explained everything to me and was at the end of the phone/email whenever I had a question.
I feel confident, through John’s expertise, that I have the best policies for me at this stage of my life and career. Knowing he is there to help, when my circumstances change in the future, is so reassuring.
Thank you John for everything."

I am more than happy to give a testimonial , I jumped at the chance!
John Constant is professional, knowledgeable and very efficient.
From remortgaging to further advances, securing the best mortgage deals , John has the whole package.
It's not just this that gives John Constant the edge, it's the amount of times I called him, various times throughout the day/ evenings for advice or questions I needed answers to and every single time John Constant was reassuring and knowing and I could not get hold of him I would leave a message, john always got back to me.
I felt reassured, a comforting feeling knowing that I was in safe , polished experienced hands.
Thank you so much.

“We are extremely happy with the service provided, can not recommend them enough.
We recommended them to some friends which are close to completion as well.
I would give 10 out of 5 to Oana Salomie, professional, committed, went above and beyond to make sure we get all our documents in time.
We managed to find a property and move in within less than 2 months, thanks to her advice and we rest assured that all our life and house insurances are in place, didn't need to lift a finger as she's done it all for us. Best service ever.
Thank you very much.”
Alexandru Andreianu 6th March 2019
The service from Caroline Maguire was excellent. She is a thorough professional and is the reason why i keep coming back to HD Consultants. I am delighted with the level of expertise and communication offered. Thanks
Wilbur Pires 24th January 2019
"There aren't enough words to explain how happy my husband and I are with the services that we were provided.
Oana couldn't do enough to help us. She went beyond the extra mile to get us through everything and we will be forever grateful for that.
She made the mortgage application seem so easy. She explained us everything, answered to all our questions and settled us so so much in what can be a "very stressful time" getting a mortgage.
We cannot recommend enough HD Consultants especially Oana which was just "Perfection! From start to the end"
Alina Radic 7th July 2018
"Hi Howard
I just wanted to let you know that we have been so impressed with Jenny.
I initially called you along with other brokers and have been dealing with all, to start with, to see who could come up with the best deal
There is something very special about Jenny, she has kept me informed and has thought of ideas 'outside the box' to try and get us the best possible deal and has listened and understood our plight .
Because of her, we decided that we would not go ahead with any other broker, as she has made us feel she is fighting our corner and although we haven't yet got a deal I know that she has our best interest at heart
and will find the best deal out there for us.
She calls me with all updates and I can say her customer service skills are off the chart.
She is definitely a credit to your Company
Best wishes"
Jacqui Cook 13th July 2018
"I would like to thank Howard and HD Consultants for the easy process that allowed me to obtain a mortgage to release monies from my property for home improvements.
Howard was very good at talking me through the procedures and making sure that I understood each step along the way.
I would personally recommend Howard and H D Consultants for their professional approach."
Susan Pattrick, 18th April 2018
"Would just like to say that from Day One, which happened to be a Sunday, Oana went flat out to secure me remortgages at much better rates than I had been offered up until that point, and has worked tirelessly to push the Conveyancers to get the mortgages over the line, even when on holiday, despite my telling to wait until she returned home.
This young lady is a star and, not only that, a pleasure to deal with, as she has patience, coupled with a great sense of humour.
I couldn't recommend her highly enough, she's a consumate professional and a credit to HD."
Terry Davis, 25th June 2018

Phil Moulsher - 26th January 2018

Sam Billinge Jan 2nd 2018
"Hi Howard,
I would like to share our outstanding experience with John Stallan in helping us to secure a buy to let mortgage for our London new build investment flat.
John took the time to really get to know us and our lending needs and preferences then researched options and suggested the best BTL mortgage products for us to consider.
He followed up with the two lenders we were considering to confirm if there were any special considerations with the type of new build flat that we purchased enabling us to select a very competitive lender that made us an offer shortly afterwards.
He regularly kept us informed of the our mortgage application status and requests from the lender, resulting in a quick offer with minimal effort and stress.
The overall experience with John and HD Consultants was significantly better than applying on our own with our bank for our last investment property and helped us understand broader options.
John was an absolute pleasure to work with and earned our confidence, trust and respect delivering a great outcome with our important financing needs.
We will definitely request broker services from John and HD Consultants for our next property.
Thanks for your outstanding service John and HD Consultants!
Thanks! Kevin"

David Barrett, Client, June 2017
"Just a couple of months ago we were given an unexpected notice by our landlord who required his property to be vacant.
We hadn’t planned on moving house until early 2017 so this completely left us in the lurch.
As first-time buyers we did not really know what we were doing. You guided us explaining all the options clearly.
You also picked up on several errors from the builders and the solicitors which we wouldn’t have noticed.
Not once did you ever seem put out in any way. You were always extremely responsive to queries, no matter how small.
You responded to messages and even called me whilst you were on your holiday just to make sure we had everything in order to proceed.
It is thanks to your assistance that we have now moved into our dream home within just 60 days and we could not have done it without you.
You wholeheartedly went above and beyond the call of duty and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to others.
Warmest regards"
David Maurer, Full Power Utilities, 6th September 2016
"Caroline processed our information very quickly.
As it turned out Caroline was quickly able to determine that products available in our case were higher cost than our current product.
Although the objective was to raise capital via remortgage, it was not a financially positive way to go.
We will definitely come back to Caroline in future, when we are ready to reinvest after planned disposals."
Gerry, August 2016
"Howard was recommended to me by a mutual friend.
His dedication and determination to solve problems is unbelievable.
I thought all I needed was a standard BTL mortgage, but as time went on more and more problems arose.
What we had thought to be a straightforward purchase of two flats for letting turned out to be far more complicated with a freehold, two leases and three various owners to contend with.
Howard helped solved each and every one of them professionally and without fuss. He and his team are amazing.
I will most definitely recommend him to anyone who asks if I know of a reliable, professional broker and will be returning to him myself in due course for a remortgage."
Chrisi Evans - August 2014
"I wanted to write to express my appreciation of your help recently to remortgage our rental property. Due to your hard work getting to know us properly the process has been fast and efficient, yet diligent, and we have always felt fully informed and aware of all our options.
Not only are we able to switch to a mortgage product with a lower interest rate and lower monthly payments but the new mortgage is flexible fitting our circumstances perfectly. Many thanks for all your hard work, we will be recommending you to all our family and friends in future."
John Lawley, June 2016

" I had two properties that I needed to remortgage & one of which needed to be transferred as well as acquiring a new Mortgage . I was feeling daunted until I had my first meeting with John Constant, at which time I was continually reassured . In spite of the additional complications of Covid-19 all transactions were completed with ease and help when needed.
I was completely satisfied and very grateful to have John always available for my questions and occasional panics .
I think because I had been worrying about these transactions for sometime it was a great relief to discover that I had found an advisor who would eliminate my worries . I suddenly felt that a huge burden had been lifted from me and am delighted with the outcome . John was very reassuring and I appreciated that I could contact him at any time it really made a difference .
I now realise how important it is to have an expert on hand !"

Jenny Reeves has been handling my case to get mine and my mums mortgage approved.
She has been excellent from start to finish.
Knowing the difficulties that this case would be considering my mums age of 70 did not stop her from trying her upmost best. Any queries I had even out of her working hours she would answer without delay. We've had setbacks with lenders because of the age factor, however Jenny has been supportive throughout the whole experience.
We just had our mortgage approved and I couldn't believe it!
To be honest even if it did not get approved I would be writing this same review. Because I truly believe anyone who's lucky to have Jenny on their mortgage corner will have a head start.
Thank you again!

From day one he was very thorough, concise, helpful & friendly.
He kept us regularly updated from the application process until completion.

"After having a negative experience when we started our journey of purchasing our own home and seeing our hopes flying away one by one due to an inexperienced and careless broker ( from a different company), one of our friends has recommended us Oana Salomie from HD Consultants
She was exceptionally knowledgeable, extremely professional and polite, very patient and flexible. She has explained everything to us from the beginning, there was no uncertainty at any point during the process, she's made all the appropriate recommendations with out trying to up sell.
Our AIP was applied for and received within less than a day, we had received the mortgage offer straight away from the 1st recommended lender, we have received all recommendations in regards to the solicitors and support with our insurances. She has made things so easy for us, any question had a satisfactory answer and solution.
I will 100% recommend you to anyone I know and I am looking forward to work with you in the future.
Thank you to the whole team at HD Consultants, and special thanks to Oana Salomie who helped making our dream come true."

John then went on to find a competitive product"

Gabriela Popa 28th June 2019
"John Stallan, I just wanted to say a few words about the service I have received from you.
I had contacted two other brokers before I was recommended to you, without success. From the first contact we had, I felt that you were positive and proactive, in a way which others were not.
You went out of your way to locate a lender who was willing to take on the re-mortgage, which obviously wasn’t an easy task, as no-one else had managed it. Your fact-finding process was also much friendlier than others I have experienced.
The journey was somewhat lengthy and, at times, convoluted and involved lots of emails and telephone calls. Your attitude and general approach through all of this helped me to maintain my sense of humour!
We have now come to a satisfactory conclusion of the matter and I can now breathe a little more easily.
Thanks again. I would happily use your services if ever needed in the future and would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a first-class broker.
Regards"

"Mr Reuben was so helpful all the way through the application process and kept me updated without me chasing and even after he had done his work, phoned to make sure all was ok"
Top service will be using his services again.
Old school does what he says .
Trying to find a reason not to give him top marks, but cannot think of anything he let me down on .
Kind Regards"
Steve Baker, 3rd May 2018
"An exceptionally helpful Mortgage Advisor, John Stallan contacted me after 5 seperate other advisors couldn't help me and my girlfriend. We needed two quite specific mortgages to fit our requirements and through effective communication remotely, and then numerous appointments with us both in person, he managed to find a number of products that suited our needs.
His diligent commitment to ensuring our application was absolutely perfect prior to submittal was critical in ensuring we encountered no negative issues on application. Despite the difficult task, his excellent advice and guidance enabled us to complete simultaneously on one remortgage and one new purchase together.
I have already recommended his services to a number of my family and close friends. When the time comes, he will be my only choice for remortgage. Thank you from the both of us."
Ollie and Steph, West Sussex, 11th January 2018
"Thank you very much for coming over again today, John <> It was truly nice talking to you.
I feel so much happier that the loan & the insurances & a will are now decided so that I will be truly ready for the new adventures which is my new investment journey.
Without your & Caroline’s support I won’t be here today.
Thank you so much again!!"

Great job, thanks!"

I just wanted to say a big thank you, I have managed to get my lease extensions underway on my flats this year, and I've also purchased three new properties, become a member of the landlord association and taken the necessary insurance out, and I wouldn't of done that without your help and your fantastic forum which I find of great value.
Thank you for recommending HD Consultants for me."

We are profoundly grateful to Howard for his enduring patience, professionalism and persistence and could not recommend him more highly.”

Peter Matheson, February 2015
"Stephen Pears arranged my initial mortgage and subsequent mortgage when I moved home. On each occasion, Stephen took the time to listen and understand my circumstances and needs, in order to find the best mortgage package for me.
I would have struggled to navigate the vast array of mortgage deals available myself and found Stephen’s expert knowledge and experience invaluable. I was particularly reassured by the way Stephen considered the risks involved and gave me confidence that he had my interests in mind completely. Stephen is my first point of contact for financial advice and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others as well.
Rachel Frost November 2013
