Working with Alex was a game-changer

Working with Alex was a game-changer. My mortgage situation was far from straightforward, and I was prepared for headaches. Alex immediately put me at ease with his knowledge and calm, reassuring approach. He explained everything in plain language, was endlessly patient with my questions, and fought tirelessly to find the best solution. He didn't just process an application; he crafted a strategy tailored for me. Thanks to Alex, I closed on my dream home with a mortgage that makes sense for my future. He is simply the a great guy to deal with!

Highly recommended regulated broker

Nick Kerley really helped me understand everything I needed to know about applying for a regulated bridging loan to take over our existing expired mortgage for my family home, offering invaluable advice on what steps to take and how the process works. Highly recommended company with great transparent advice and service. Nick really helped relieve a lot of stress and went out of his way to make sure the process was as clear and as seamless as possible, making sure we were well-informed to make the best informed decision possible. Will definitely use again in the future if needed.

Bridging Loan

Easy to contact. Phone calls were answered promptly and when busy called back quickly. Staff were extremely helpful and courteous and liaised with all interested parties and kept us fully informed of all developments. Our completion date was met.
Very professional service.

We had a great experience - thank you Dylan!

We had a great experience using Clifton Private Finance for our loan, and in particular working with Dylan.

Dylan was fantastic throughout the entire process. He was always clear, organised and incredibly prompt in getting back to us. He kept communication flowing smoothly between us and the lender, which made what could have been a very stressful process feel much more manageable and under control.

He gave us really good reassurance at key points and explained things clearly, which we genuinely appreciated. We always felt well informed and supported, and never left wondering what was happening next.

We would highly recommend Clifton Private Finance as a professional, trustworthy and knowledgeable firm, and we cannot praise Dylan highly enough for the service he provided.

Kevin

I cannot recommend this company enough given the support, guidance, communication and effectiveness of a recent financial transaction I did with them involving a Bridging Loan. Right from Day 1 of my first contact with Fergus, and subsequently with Annie and Fergus, they were both always available, responsive and involved making sure the process was overseen right to end. They were brilliant and my transaction completed without a hitch! Well Done Clifton Finance!

Total Shambles

It was the worst mortgage application process I have ever experienced. Prior to choosing Clifton, I read reviews stating how smooth the process was, consistent communications and updates, as well as a turn around of about a one month. Alas, it was the complete and total opposite for us.

First and foremost, all our private documentation were not shared under a secure source, instead everything was just via email, leaving a lot of room for that information falling in the wrong hands. The communication was appalling and I had to chase them up on updates on countless times. I am sure Clifton is aware of this because I complained several times and in the end even requested for a different broker.

The whole process started at the end of July 2025 and only got mortgage finalized in mid December, 2025. At which time, Christmas was around the corner and couldn't get anything resolved until January 2026. Its due to this long delay that our previous bank ended up charging us a penalty fee of approximately 4000 pounds, whereas had it been completed in 2 months, there would have been no penalties or charges.

All in all, we are so disappointed with Clifton and with all the stress, uncertainty and pressure we were subjected to, I wouldn't even recommend anyone to through this.

Bridging Loan

I can truly recommend this company, they have been absolutely brilliant, from application to completion, a special mention though to Simon Mullins, he has gone above and beyond with all the help and guidance he has provided us and has made the whole experience very easy, he is a credit to the company, thank you so much Simon 👍👍

5* service from Nick

We found Clifton via Google when looking to finance the purchase of a commercial property with a view to creating a residential development.

As somewhat novices to the category, we spoke with several brokers and based on the advice received from Nick, decided to go with Clifton.

It was not a straightforward scenario and we met several roadblocks along the way, but Nick assisted at each stage and ultimately helped us get the finance over the line.

I would not hesitate to recommend Nick @ Clifton to anyone and we will certainly be using him again when it comes to refinancing the current facility.

Thanks again, Nick!

Worked with Alex Morris at Clifton

Worked with Alex Morris at Clifton. Our situation wasn't straightforward, but Alex and the Clifton team found a solution and managed to meet a particularly aggressive timetable set by our seller! He was both professional and amiable throughout. Would highly recommend him and the team.

Efficient and friendly service

The whole process of getting a mortgage (which I thought might be difficult considering our ages) was extremely friendly, smooth and efficient. The mortgage offer arrived incredibly fast. Alex and Jan were then extremely helpful in dealing with a problem (a typo in the lender's paperwork) and were quick to coordinate with the lender and my solicitor to ensure the mortgage funds were available on time. I would not hesitate to recommend Clifton Private Finance!

Highly recommended, great communication

Can't recommend Clifton Private Finance any higher. I had the pleasure of working with Paige Dumpleton who throughout the process was efficient, professional and informative. No pressure was put onto me to take out the finance just the information presented in an easy to follow format with expert help on hand to guide me through from start to finish. Communication was extremely efficient and reassuring. I'll be back with my next project. Thank you Paige and Clifton Finance.

I had a slightly complicated situation and a short timeline and Alex and the team came to the rescue. In the end it was the smoothest possible process.

Absolutely outstanding service

Absolutely outstanding service, care, attention to detail and patience from Simon Mullins at Clifton Private Finance. He made sure we were clear on every step of the Bridging loan and supported us at each step, going above and beyond, consistently. Highly recommend Simon and Clifton Private finance.

In a word ... Excellent

Having read other reviews I contacted Clifton Private Finance to support financing a property purchase and refurbishment (bridging Loan). From inception the service has been fantastic, not least because my assigned broker Joshua Moore has been with me every step of the way, explaining processes, excellent communication, lightening speed responses! and with a genuine interest in my project. Faultless. I have no hesitation recommending Joshua and Clifton PF and I'm looking forward to working with the business again soon. Huge Thanks - Melanie
