GoogleWe had a great experience with Hall and Benson.
Chris was fantastic and went above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible for us. He took the time to answer all our queries (there were a lot as we are first-time buyers and knew nothing about the process), and made sure to keep us updated regularly.
After our first appointment with Chris, we felt at ease, and far more relaxed as he took the time to explain everything in detail.
We are now a month away from completion and can't thank him enough!

GoogleMaking an appointment with Mortgage Advisor Chris Astill was one of the best decisions I have made as a First Time Buyer. He patiently explained the entire process to me and answered all of my questions and queries about the different options available. Chris kept in regular contact and provided really useful updates as I moved through the process. Thanks to Chris I secured an offer on a great mortgage product that I would not have been able to secure had I approached the lenders directly. Chris, it has been a pleasure and thanks very much!

GoogleWell today I collect the keys for our new adventure! I'm nervous to say the least but all I can say is the team at Hall & Benson Alfreton have made the whole experience so much more pleasurable! A big shout out to Chris Astill especially, he was always on the end of the phone no matter how much I needed him. He always explained everything to me & kept me updated & if he couldn't he would always go away & find the answers. He was my Estate Agent & Mortgage Broker & it was so much easier having everything under one roof. And right at the last minute he saved us money on our mortgage as the interest rates had dropped since we first applied! Don't get me wrong it is still a very stressful thing buying a house so to have a team on your side & help as much as possible definitely made a huge difference for a working mum! Thanks guys.

We would also like to add, we had a mortgage appointment this week with Chris, and we were very happy with the whole service. He explained and broke down everything carefully to make sure we understood all our options, which we were very grateful for. He gave impartial advice and made us feel really comfortable.

GoogleI have requested on four separate occasions to be removed from this companyβs call and email distribution lists. Despite these requests, I continue to receive both phone calls and emails.
