Gavin has been my financial advisor since 2017. He has helped me with my mortgage, pension etc and he has always given me great advice and I trust him, which in today’s climate is very rare. He has always been there for me whenever I haven’t been sure of things. And I am very happy with every bit of advice he has given me over the years. Honestly if you need someone who is decent and has your best interests at heart and is excellent at his job, then choose Gavin, you will not be disappointed.

Highly recommend the team's services Affinity. After exploring a few different financial advisors- it was a breath of fresh air to be referred to Steven and his team. Not only are the team highly experienced- but the most humane, warm and encouraging team that you can truly trust with your finances. Steven took the time to meet us in person for all our briefing meetings and answer all questions in person - this honestly meant so much in an age of video calls and emails..! Matthew Chapman on the Affinity team tirelessly works on options for us and communicates in a timely, friendly yet professional manner, making us feel very well taken care of.The warmth of the entire company resonates in every dealing with all their employees and their genuine nature is undeniable. I cannot recommend Affinity and their services enough - especially if you've never had a financial advisor before. And if you do have one, I recommend switching to Affinity!

Affinity Financial Advisors- Great company!
I have used Affinity for their mortgage services twice and would highly recommend them to anyone.
The first time was when my fixed rate term was up and interest rates were scarily high. Bradley from the Affinity team was very knowledgeable and attentive and strived to get a deal that would work best for me. He looked at several options and kept me informed throughout the whole process. Bradley is great and presenting options without bias, giving you the pros and cons and then allowing you to make the final informed decision.
The second time was for an adjustment on my mortgage and I did not hesitate to use their services again. Bradley was able to sort everything within a week and again was very thorough looking at all possible options for me. I was again able to make an informed decision based on current and future circumstances.

Exceptional Mortgage Experience with Bradley Carter
I cannot commend Bradley Carter, my mortgage advisor, highly enough. Introduced to him by my sister, I began the challenging journey of securing my first mortgage with apprehension. Bradley's expertise and warm demeanor immediately alleviated my concerns. His vast knowledge and patience were evident as he guided me through every step, meticulously explaining each detail.
As someone prone to anxiety, Bradley's reassuring presence was invaluable. He addressed every question and request for clarification with unwavering patience, ensuring I felt confident and informed throughout.
What truly distinguishes Bradley is his sense of humor. Amidst the nerve-wracking experience, his ability to inject levity made the journey enjoyable. His professionalism and approachability transformed him from a trusted advisor to a confidant.
During our initial consultation, I outlined my mortgage budget. Bradley not only grasped my financial constraints but also diligently explored all options to meet my needs. He delivered on his promises, exceeding my expectations with a mortgage that aligns perfectly with my goals. His dedication and precision underscore his expertise and professionalism.
Bradley Carter from Affinity Financial Advisors Ltd is an exceptional mortgage advisor. His guidance, professionalism, and genuine care made my first-time mortgage journey memorable and positive. I wholeheartedly recommend him. Thank you, Bradley, for everything!
