From a Very happy new home owner 🙂
Maria was amazing from beginning to end. She found the best interest rate possible for me. She kept me updated throughout the process.I will highly recommend her to anyone and I will be using her in the future. Can’t thank you enough
THANK YOU KATIE 🤍
As always we had an excellent experience working with Katie during my recent mortgage process. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive.
They took the time to answer all my questions, explained all my options clearly, and guided me through every step with patience.
Communication was always prompt, and she was proactive in keeping me updated throughout. I truly felt like I was in good hands the entire time.
Thanks to Katie, I was able to secure a great deal that fit my needs perfectly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy mortgage advice.
Tom Oliver
Tom Oliver was the most professional, empathetic and reliable broker I have ever had the fortune to deal with. He guided me through what was a particularly complicated procedure due to my own circumstances, and he completed the purchase on my new house. I cannot thank him enough and I would recommend him unreservedly.
5 star service
We have been using James as our mortgage advisor since 2019 when we bought our first property and for all our renewals since and each time he has ensured the process has been as seamless as possible. This time he and Tom assisted us with our remortgage and buy to let purchase and we honestly are incredibly thankful for their hard work and assistance throughout. Purchasing and mortgaging properties can be a minefield so having a trusftul mortgage advisor helps makes the process a little less stressful. We would definitely recommend James and Tom if you are looking for a mortgage advisor and we will certainly be using them again when the time comes to renewing our mortgage

EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION From the very start we were kept…
From the very start we were kept updated and all our questions were answered so promptly by Charlotte.
Full marks for professionalism and superb communication by
Charlotte ‼️
Not a care in the world
I have had my pension with St Bart’s for maybe 5 years the advisor I previously dealt with has now left however when ever I had a review with her she just wanted to get it over and done with as fast as possible she simply wasn’t interested.
I called the branch in Salisbury a month or so ago as I was thinking about going else where, I haven’t had a call back I even gave them a 1star google review a few weeks ago, they simple don’t care about there customers or how you will be able to retire.
I have no trust or belief in St Bart’s finance.

Excellent service- Thank you!
Katie was very helpful in ensuring I got the best deal available with rates changing regularly. She went over and above what I would expect of a mortgage advisor and I am delighted with the final deal she found for me. Thank you Katie.
Review for Sunny Gill at St Barts
We used Sunny Gill as our mortgage advisor/broker. Sunny was fantastic from start to finish. Unfortunately we had very bad luck with our house purchase process. In the end, the journey took us a number of years, with the first 3 houses falling through due to each seller withdrawing. As a result, we had to apply for a mortgage a number of times. This was complicated by our changing personal circumstances.
Throughout our journey, Sunny kept a cool head, and his calm presence and demeanour helped to ground us during some of our most difficult moments.
Sunny also demonstrated a wide range of relevant knowledge about both mortgages, and the property purchase process in general. This was invaluable to us, and we honestly couldn't have reached completion without him.
We'd like to thanks Sunny for his dedicated support throughout the process, and will not hesitate to recommend him to other buyers. Thank you.
Outstanding Service from St Barts Finance
We had the absolute pleasure of working with St Barts Finance for the purchase of our first property, and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received. From start to finish, the entire team was professional, responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout a process that can often feel overwhelming.
A special mention and heartfelt thanks to Andrea Leoni, who handled our case with genuine care and diligence. Andrea’s expertise, patience, and attention to detail made all the difference, always keeping us informed, answering our many questions, and going above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly.
The wider St Barts Finance team were also brilliant, each playing a part in making this journey feel seamless and stress-free. It’s rare to find a company that combines deep knowledge with such personal and approachable service.
We feel truly grateful for their help and couldn’t recommend them more highly to anyone looking to buy a property. Thank you, Andrea and team—you made a complex experience feel refreshingly simple!
Rachel Lines is exceptionally helpful!
I have just purchased my first property and the support from Rachel Lines has been amazing. From our first conversation she was so helpful and understanding of my situation and was always willing to explain things which didn’t make sense to a first time buyer like myself. She’s been exceptionally helpful with sorting everything out and getting the best rate possible for me.
Rachel also kindly recommended solicitors for me who have been able to complete the whole process within 3 months!
I can’t stress enough how helpful, friendly and knowledgeable Rachel has been and I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend Rachel and St Bart’s Finance to anyone looking for support with the mortgage process! Thank you so much Rachel!
Amazing service, thanks Claire!!!
Claire has sorted multiple mortgages out for me over the years, and has even completed other people's mortgages after I recommended her to them. Her communication is 10/10 and she's always available to respond to any questions, she always puts maximum effort in and gets the best product for me. She goes above and beyond consistently. Claire has given me the confidence and support to get a few mortgages as I didn't have a clue where to start before liasing with her. I wouldn't be where I am without her support and efforts. Thank you so much Claire. I wouldn't go to anybody else for this service, you are truly worth your weight in gold and an asset to wherever you work!
Really happy with St Barts
Really happy with St Barts. We worked with Claire who was excellent; really helpful and responsive. Everything was explained clearly. Would highly recommend.
I have always found Simon Professional
I have always found Simon Professional, helpful and friendly.
He is unbiased and gives the best advice and most suitable for me.
I trust him implicitly, he also has a good sense of humour.
I would would recommend him as the best financial adviser I have come across.
Outstanding service - Highly recommend
We are so thankful to have had Maria guide us through the mortgage process. From our very first conversation, she was incredibly friendly and approachable and what really stood out was how informative and clear she was throughout. Every step was explained in detail, no question was ever too small, and we always felt fully informed before making any decisions. Maria took the time to understand our needs and found us a mortgage that worked perfectly for our situation. As well as this Maria was able to help us organise the relevant insurances so everything was in place ready to go in order for us to complete on our property purchase.
The whole experience was smooth and stress-free, and that’s entirely thanks to the time, care, and effort Maria put in.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Maria and St Bart's Finance to anyone looking for trustworthy and expert mortgage and financial advice!
Faultless service
Used St Bart’s several times now for re-mortgaging and would fully recommend them. Darren and Richard are always incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and quick to respond.
Service Par Excellence
St Barts is a pleasure to deal with on anything related to mortgages and financial advice. The team is thorough, totally professional and gears advice to the individual needs/profile of a client.
Katie Hartley is highly recommended
Katie Hartley was helpful, friendly and knowledgable. She managed to get us a fantastic rate on our remortgage and kept on top of rate drops in the months leading up to the lock-in date, to make it even better. Katie was swift to reply to any queries and was very adept at explaining everything to us. I cannot recommend her more highly.
