What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

The Mortgage Pod is the name that recurs in feedback covering first mortgages, remortgages and the search for suitable lending options, with clients ranging from first-time buyers to limited company directors and returning borrowers. Steve and Barry are singled out time and again for the clarity of their explanations, taking borrowers through payslips and documents without fuss and setting out affordability before any property viewing. Reviewers often mention how applications that looked difficult, including an initial decline and a buyer with only one year of trading history, were met with persistence and a range of lending choices rather than a dead end.

Quick responses to questions and steady updates are a point that comes up often, even when a case ran over the Christmas period and hit problems. The unhurried, down-to-earth handling of a process borrowers find stressful, combined with open and transparent dealings, is credited with making complex purchases manageable. A handful of customers describe coming back for later mortgages and remortgages, and changing quote requests during short windows were handled with the same professional reliability. First-time buyer support, particularly for medical professionals, stands out among the work described.

As always the mortgage pod exceeded expectations. Very professional, knowledgeable and down to earth. Would like to say a huge thank you to Barry and Steve for all their hard work and feel comfortable knowing I can count on them for the future.

I cannot recommend Steve and The Mortgage Pod highly enough. As first-time buyers, our case was far from straightforward. We initially faced a mortgage decline and were beginning to think our purchase might not be possible. Steve took the time to understand our circumstances, explored multiple lending options, and never gave up on finding a solution that worked for us. Throughout the process, he was professional, knowledgeable, patient and incredibly responsive. He explained every stage clearly, kept us updated, answered our many questions, and gave us confidence even when things became challenging. Rather than settling for the easiest option, he worked hard to secure the best mortgage available for our situation. Thanks to Steve’s persistence and expertise, we have now received our Barclays mortgage offer and are progressing with the purchase of our first home. We genuinely appreciate the effort, honesty and dedication he has shown from start to finish. If you’re looking for a mortgage adviser who truly cares about getting the best outcome for his clients, I would have no hesitation in recommending Steve and The Mortgage Pod. Thank you again, Steve—we’re incredibly grateful for everything you’ve done for us.

Steve and his team have been excellent, handling multiple changing quote requests from us over a relatively short period of time and found us a great mortgage option for our needs. Can highly recommend The Mortgage Pod, a professional and reliable broker able to deal with a changing landscape always.

Obtaining a mortgage or remortgage can be very stressful. Using Mortgage Pod was the best decision I ever made!! Steve calmly works through the minefield and in a calm controlled manner has found a superb deal for me! I cant speak highly enough about Steve and Mortgage pod..............their expertise is second to none.

I couldn’t recommend The Mortgage Pod highly enough, particularly Barry. As a first-time buyer, his guidance was invaluable and made the entire process far less daunting. He was always responsive, approachable, and willing to answer any questions I had—whether about the mortgage itself or anything else to do with the home-buying process. I felt fully supported throughout and wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again in the future! 😁

I had a great experience working with Steve at The Mortgage Pod. He was quick, transparent, accommodating, and extremely professional throughout the entire process. As a repeat customer, I’ve consistently received excellent service, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and efficient mortgage advice.
