GoogleWe have been using Connells mortgage services for over 10 years and would thoroughly recommend James Allen. James goes above and beyond his call of duty and is 100% committed to his clients. We have found James to be approachable, informative, helpful and very knowledgeable. He has secured several mortgages for us over the years and always seeks to ensure we have the best deal possible whilst clearly detailing and explaining comparable products and lenders.

GoogleI had high hopes dealing with Connells estate agents and at the start when they were showing me around a property I had Casper dealing with us and he persuaded my husband and i to leave our current mortgage broker to try their one James and all was good and communication was frequent. We went ahead and put in an offer on the property we were getting a mortgage for on condition of getting mortgage approved. It's been a week since I've heard from either of them I've then come back from a short break away to find no news on my mortgage application and that the property that we were doing all of this for has now sold STC. No one has had the courtesy to inform me of any of this. Just like any other estate agents they've got their money and now don't care about anyone else. Absolutely disgraced with how I've been treated. Never using them again. I advise against anyone else using them and that's coming from someone who works for SpicerHaart estate agents.

GoogleJames made the process of getting a mortgage, as a first time buyer, incredibly easy. He was very professional and explained everything as clearly as possible. He was always available for any questions and even helped with other things such as negotiating with the estate agents. James came recommended to me by friends and I can highly recommend him also and will most definitely be using his services again in the future. He helped to make the whole experience less stressful.

GoogleMy wife and I have just obtained our mortgage offer via Connells with the help of James. I’m self employed and knew that obtaining a mortgage may be tricky as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We spoke to several brokers and James was by far the most knowledgeable and keen to help. He went over and above to secure us our offer and negotiated with the developer to ensure we didn’t lose our new build plot. Cannot recommend Connells Mortgage Services, and James in particular, highly enough.

GooglePleasant and smooth transition from our pervious address to our new address which leah and April were most helpful with. Both ladies are friendly, helpful and supportive with any matters and made the process that little less stressful. Having come across most estate agents whilst looking for our next property I must say that Connells came out the best for us. Top quality service from beginning to end. Affordable and professional with very friendly staff. Definitely recommend rentals with Connells.
Thanks Shane.

GoogleCustomer service received from Mark was very good at the start and we were quite happy to put our flat up for sale with them.
They offer a photography package for around £100 extra, which I would recommend as this definitely got us more flat viewings than our previous agent managed with standard photography (even with lockdown to contend with).
As the sale/purchase process went on the communication became quite poor. We actually received more updates from the vendors agent than we did Connells which was disappointing and the main reason for the 3* rating.

GoogleI have used other agents who let me down and felt like I wasn't getting value for money, after being on the market for over a month and having to show potential buyers our home instead of the agent. However, a friend recommended Connells, we was on the market for a maximum of 2 weeks, they booked 10x the viewings I had with the other agent, they done all the viewings for us, we sold our home for asking price. I cannot praise the team at Connells highly enough for brilliant customer service, understanding, responsiveness and working late to assist me. A special mention to Ryan, he is an asset to the company. Will definitely be using Connells in the future!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleGood all round experience from the Ipswich office. Needed to sell my parent's house quickly to fund their nursing care. From the instruction to sell to completion was less than 4 months. Ok, so we didn't have a chain involved but the staff at Connells helped the process along and kept in touch with the solicitors for both sides to ensure all went smoothly Highly recommended.
