1st time buyer

Andrea explained process of buying first house, mortgage application and costs incredibly well. This included explaining fixed/variable rates, percentage of deposit, the different credit checks, different insurance etc. Throughout the whole process I always felt well informed and Andrea always replied to my emails in a timely manner and was always super flexible when scheduling calls around my work schedule.
As a first time buyer, I had heard that the process can be stressful, but with the support of Andrea it certainly did not feel stressful at all as you are always so well informed of the different steps and financial implications.
Andrea was always incredibly professional, with fantastic expert advice.
I would highly recommend their services.

Paul Blake was fantastic at Balanced Financial. This is the second time we have used the company to support our remortgaging and everything from beginning to end was professional and clearly communicated. Would highly recommend!

This is a company you can trust.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an outstanding service from Paul and Charlie at BFS that exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish, this company demonstrated an unparalleled level of excellence, leaving me thoroughly impressed. The customer service I encountered was nothing short of exceptional. Paul was friendly, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring my satisfaction. They were prompt in addressing my queries and went above and beyond to provide detailed and comprehensive answers. Their professionalism and commitment to customer care were truly commendable.
The service itself was flawlessly executed, leaving no room for disappointment. They exhibited a remarkable level of expertise and skill in their field, showcasing a deep understanding of their craft which is what every first time buyer like myself needs. Every step of the process was handled with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in an outcome that far surpassed my expectations.
What impressed me most was their ability to tailor their service to my specific needs. They took the time to understand my requirements and preferences and were able to find me the best mortgage offer. Their flexibility and adaptability demonstrated a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction and ensured that the service was a perfect fit for my unique circumstances.
I wholeheartedly recommend the team at Balanced Financial Services to anyone seeking excellence and professionalism. Their commitment to delivering a top-notch service, coupled with their exceptional customer service, make them stand out from the rest. If you're looking for a service experience that exceeds all expectations, look no further!

An Amazing Broker

In 2022, we set out to challenge ourselves to own the home of our dreams. We met a number of mortgage brokers along the way who unfortunately were unable to get us the amount of mortgage we required to own this home. Thankfully, we got recommended to Charlie by a friend. Charlie was above exceptional, she was very professional throughout the journey, set the right level of expectations, and in the end achieved the impossible by sourcing the right lender. After the mortgage approval and during the legal process for purchasing, she did not just walk away because she was done with her job, but rather kept checking in to know how the purchase was going. She even kept checking in after completion and when we had moved into our new home, just to know how we were settling in.

She is certainly an awesome broker, and I will strongly recommend her to anyone who really wants a broker that doesn't mess about.

I couldn't have done it without them

Andrea went above and beyond to help me purchase my first property, her advise was always honest and with my best interests in mind. In a sea of untrustworthy estate agents and slow conveyancers, Andrea was like a breath of fresh air. She regularly checked in on me and didn't give up on me when I took longer than I should have to respond. I felt I was getting the the care and support of a friend or family member but with the extensive knowledge of a professional. Every time I thought I was in a predicament, Andrea had a solution.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Andrea and Balanced Financial Services as mortgage advisers - they are just amazing.

Could not ask for more…

Charlie Baker is THE person you can trust to get you the right mortgage. I really appreciated her thoughtful advice, knowledgeable insights and friendly manner throughout the process. Really efficient, really reliable, really professional.

Outstanding from start to finish

Buying a house is a dreadful process. However, Andrea Worledge from Balanced Financial Services delivered outstanding quality service for our purchase from start to finish. She made herself available at all hours whether that be evenings or over weekends without us even having to ask. She was well informed and able to cut through the jargon where necessary to give excellent advice on both mortgages and insurance products. She was also more than willing to answer any stupid questions we had throughout the process on anything at all. It felt like you were dealing with someone who genuinely cared you made the right decision rather than just trying to flog you any old rubbish. During the summer holidays when Andrea took a short period of annual leave, we also had fantastic support from Charlie Baker so I would also like to mention her great service. I cannot fault the service we were provided and would actively recommend Andrea to anybody I know.

Great service and experience.
Andrea was fantastically helpful and made the process of buying our first home really easy.
She was an excellent communicator every step of the way, informing us of the next steps we had to take and reassuring us that everything would be fine, which it was.
She is knowledgable, friendly, and flexible with meetings and calls. She was also totally available and on hand to answer questions.
Huge thanks!

Highly recommended

I was very fortunate to have Andrea work on my recent mortgage search and cannot recommend her too highly.
Despite a hiccup from the building society, Andrea quickly resolved the issue and everything went smoothly in the end. I will certainly use Balanced Financial Services for any future broker services and recommend to my friends and family.

Andrea is not only totally amazing in her ability to bring forth your exact wishes but has exceeded herself far and beyond my expectations.
It would be a huge injustice to yourself to pass such a rare and precious find off humanity and compassion along with her exceptional expertise.
