Good experience with Misbah , happy with her service. May Allah give her more success.
Working with Emma has been an absolute blessing. Her expertise, patience, and genuine care made a world of difference during one of the most important decisions of our lives—buying a new home. From the very beginning, Emma offered thoughtful advice and guidance that gave us confidence every step of the way. Her kindness extended beyond just professional support; she took the time to celebrate our milestone with a heartfelt congratulatory card that meant so much to us.Thanks to Emma, we found not just a house, but a place we’re proud to call home. We are also grateful for her follow-through—she made sure everything was handled smoothly, including the refund process, which was finalized this morning. Emma is truly exceptional, and we can’t recommend her enough.
Rachel was great. I would highly recommend!
Great Bloke Dermot . Thanks for sorting the remortgage out for me
Jason has been incredibly helpful and informative throughout our mortgage application. He has made himself available throughout to answer queries and guide us through the process. We could not have asked for better support navigating the complexity of buying a house. I would 100% recommend CCFPL to anybody looking to secure a mortgage, thank you!
