Excellent work from Dylan Humphreys !

It was a pleasure to work with Dylan Humphreys who guided me through the process of acquiring a bridging loan.
It was an anxious and stressful time for me and Dylan was exceptionally professional, courteous, reassuring and patient at all times.
My phone calls and emails were responded to almost immediately with a clear and constructive response.
I would highly recommend Dylan, he made a complex situation so much easier to support.

Remortgage through Clifton Private Finance

I recently used Clifton Private Finance for my remortgage and had an excellent experience from start to finish. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and clearly explained the available options, helping me secure a competitive rate that suited my circumstances.

What stood out most was their proactive communication and attention to detail throughout the process. They handled the paperwork efficiently and kept me informed at every stage, which made what can often be a stressful process feel straightforward and well managed.

I would confidently recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and professional mortgage advice.

After being highly recommended to speak…

After being highly recommended to speak with Nick Kerley by James Sudworth of Right Homes — who is equally someone I hold in very high regard. I had a lengthy and very productive conversation with Nick, Senior Finance Broker at Clifton Private Finance. Even though we didn’t end up progressing my case, I felt compelled to leave a review.

From our very first conversation, Nick stood out for his honesty, transparency and refreshingly straightforward approach. In a sector where many brokers talk a great deal but ultimately say very little and deliver even less. Nick is the complete opposite. He listens carefully, communicates clearly, and sets realistic expectations from the outset.

What impressed me most was his integrity. There was no pressure, no overpromising, and no vague assurances just genuine advice and open communication throughout. Even when my case couldn’t progress, he handled everything with professionalism and complete transparency, which I respected enormously.

You always know exactly where you stand with him. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and clearly focused on helping clients make informed decisions rather than simply chasing a deal. That level of authenticity is both rare and incredibly refreshing.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nick to anyone looking for expert guidance delivered with honesty and substance. A true professional and a real asset and credit to Clifton Private Finance. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brilliant experience throughout with Dylan.

We had never experienced obtaining bridging finance before, but what an amazing piece of luck to happen upon Dylan when first seeking advice on funding our project!
From start to finish he was utterly outstanding. Every phone call was answered promptly, everything explained clearly at every stage, and so friendly and approachable throughout. A truly lovely guy.
We cannot recommend Dylan highly enough, and would be straight back to him, should we have future funding requirements.
I am very thankful that we had him to guide us through the process.

First class service from Clifton Private Finance

Clifton Private Finance were fantastic to deal with. I was referred to their Bridging Finance specialist through an online enquiry about mortgages.

From the very start of the process, our contact at Clifton was extremely knowledgable, understood our needs and was willing to to talk through any worries and concerns we had. He was was extremely responsive to emails and calls, even out of hours and on a weekend so he made the process extremely easy to navigate.

As we approached completion he did all he could liasing with the lender to get us over the line and used his influence where he could.

I would 100% recommend Clifton Finance, specifically Nick Kerley to deal with and would have no concerns about working with them in the future.

I can’t recommend Clifton Private Finance highly enough

I can’t recommend Clifton Private Finance highly enough, and in particular Simon Mullins, who was absolutely outstanding throughout a very challenging case.

This was not a straightforward transaction by any stretch — it was complex, drawn-out, and required real persistence and problem-solving. Simon stayed fully engaged from start to finish, was always responsive, clear, and proactive, and never once gave the impression of giving up when things became difficult.

Thanks to Simon’s expertise, patience, and determination — and the wider support of Clifton Private Finance — we successfully secured a bridging loan on a difficult case that genuinely could have gone either way. Simon’s guidance and commitment made the difference in getting this over the line.

If you’re looking for a finance broker who is professional, resilient, and truly on your side, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Simon and Clifton Private Finance.

Thank you again — a fantastic result.

Bridging loan

Getting a bridging loan organised with a tight schedule is stressful, but Joshua was hugely reassuring and professional. Excellent quick service, competitive rates, perfect in every way.

Great advice really helpful

Nick Kerley - helped us with understanding the process, costs and risks getting a bridging loan for a property being sold via Formal Tender. He was really quick and efficient with getting us quotes and simply explained the complexities around the process. He didn’t try and hard sell and helped catch some costs we’d missed. In the end we decided not to go ahead with the loan as it didn’t suite our situation. Would highly recommend

Excellent bridging loan service from Simon at Clifton. They sourced tailored solutions for individual circumstances and provided support and guidance throughout the process.
