Balgores in Romford Glenn Hardie mortgage advisor

Balgores in Romford dealing with Glenn Hardie and Claire Dartnell is amazing. I could not thank Glenn and Claire enough for their professional and calm approach towards the mortgage from start to Finish. The fact find to mortgage offer. When I couldn’t get the documents in a timely manner for one provider Glenn was very helpful by applying with another lender. It turned out to change my fortunes as i was given an offer by them within a week and am now in a strong position to complete on a house which I must complete on by 22nd March 2024 due to auction deadline.

Michelle from Balgores Upminster great

Michelle from Balgores Upminster was great. Conducted the viewing, and regularly kept us up to date on the purchase of house. Was able to contact her easily when we had queries or issue with the purchase. She was able to advise on other services such as surveyors without being really pushy.

Pete and Claire- what a team

We are immensely grateful to Pete and Claire for all of their wonderful support of us as we navigated buying our property. Getting our mortgage sorted was an enjoyable experience and no hassle to us at all as Pete and Claire were able to get us better and better rates and chased everything up for us. Thank you so much to you both.

Exceptional service

At over 60, securing a competitive mortgage felt daunting, but Peter Walker and Claire Dartnell made it remarkably smooth. Their exceptional service, market insight, and proactive handling of third-party matters gave us peace of mind throughout. A genuinely pleasurable experience, thank you both!

Avoid

Rubbish, didn’t have a clue what was going on during the whole process, even though they controlled the whole chain! Said they would call back with more information and an update, but never did, I had to chase them again and again! Never done any due diligence on potential buyers, so they haven’t checked to see if they had mortgage offers etc. Very frustrating, I would avoid if possible. Also more expensive than others! Only went with them as they had control of the complete chain, but that didn’t help!

Thank you to Peter and Claire…

A huge thank you to Peter and Claire for their help on our new home. Always so efficient and helpful. Brilliant service as always. We have used Peter at balgores many times. He has been amazing as always and does not fail to respond quickly with updates or silly questions. Even when there has been issues, Peter has always managed to sort them for us. Claire was great too, anytime we got stuck Claire stepped in and sorted the glitch. We recommend their service and will no doubt use Pete again. Keep it up guys 👍🏼

Very thankful to the whole Balgores Team

Being the FTB, we were not clear with the home buying process, mortgage, home insurance but had preconceived notions. And then we met Balgores property team- Chris & Chloe and mortgage team Pete, Donna and Claire. As soon as we said yes to the house, they arranged everything for us and the whole process was closed in 2 months time; extremely efficient team. We asked for it and they arranged it for us like a genie. A special word of appreciation should definitely go to Pete; our mortgage advisor who answered our million queries and propositions and paid attention to even silliest ones. Highly proactive to reply emails and phone calls. Thank you so much Pete for your perseverance and the support extended. I wish all the good luck to the whole team for the future. Thank you!

Great Service and assistance from Claire and Peter

Claire has been excellent at keeping us informed throughout the process of acquiring a new mortgage. We couldn't have been happier to have her work with us to ensure all documentation was submitted in good time and all checks where correctly undertaken so there would be no delays to the process. Both Claire and Peter have been fantastic at ensuring this process was straightforward and stressful. We will happily be contacting them in the future to undertake our next Mortgage. 5 stars professional service.

Pete and Claire are the best!!

Pete Walker and Claire Dartnell are invaluable to anyone looking for a mortgage and the level of personalised expert service they have provided us has been by far the best experience we’ve ever had with a mortgage broker. Pete was highly recommended as a mortgage broker by a friend and it was the best decision we made. Pete and Claire were both fantastic and went above and beyond for us on so many occasions. Pete has an huge amount of experience which was priceless to us as we had a complex leasehold sale as well as the onwards purchase. Nothing was too much trouble and he even sought advice about our sale from his trusted contacts (solicitors and other brokers) to help us with our sale. He made the mortgage application completely stress free and was incredibly knowledgable and realistic about it and we couldn’t be more grateful. Claire has been amazing and was constantly in contact with our solicitors to get updates on both our sale and purchase which was amazing. Thank you both so much!!

5 star service

Myself and my partner had such an amazing experience when we were searching for a mortgage/house. Our mortgage advisor Gemma was amazing! She was so knowledgable and helped us from beginning to end, I literally can’t thank her enough for all her help and support and knowledge, she made the process a lot less stressful. Even when we were nearly ready to complete Gemma was still searching for the best rates and even managed to get our interest rate lower. After we completed we then was recommended Glenn to speak to us about life insurance, once again he was so helpful and knowledgeable and he helped us for the best deal for our life insurance and contents insurance for our property. Thank you both so much.

Wonderful service

As first time buyers, we had little understanding on how to go about applying for a mortgage. Peter was very helpful in advising on the mortgage application and throughout the whole process. Our buying experience was full of postponements and delays yet Peter and the Balgores Sales team were the one team that was chasing and on our side. Abbie and Donna were always super responsive and helping us with queries and follow ups. We are really happy with their service and we highly recommend it! Thank you very much!

Balgores Upminster - First Time Buyers - Team are super helpful on every step of the process

We worked with Abi, Peter & Claire on the purchase of our first home Abi was so fabulous & showed us around a number of properties - she always made sure to call ahead of a property going live on site and have us booked as one of the first viewings We worked with Peter and Claire throughout for our Mortgage. We checked in with multiple brokers & comparison sites and Peter provided a rate significantly more competitive than anything we'd seen with other brokers / lenders. We were first time buyers, Peter & Claire supported throughout the process, always available on email or phone to answer any questions we had - taking us through all the terms of the offer Highly recommend working with the in house team - you can generally get a response from both broker and agent within an hour and it keeps the sale moving at a good pace

Outstanding rental services

I would like to give the highest possible praise to the overall rental service from Balgores Properties and in particular to Dan Lawrence. Dan deals promptly with issues that arise. He makes sure the tenants are listened to and problems sorted in a timely way. Dan always keeps me informed as to what is going on and presents me with solutions, not problems. Dan is a great communicator, fabulous to work with and highly recommended.

Balgores Team Romford

I would like to leave some feedback about Balgores team in Romford 😊. They are profesionals, helped so much for buying first home. Since the first call to arrange a viewing they was fabulous. They felt my lost soul in this process so after a call with Germma I was encouraged, calm and looked after. Everything was explained clearly, help offered, other services (solicitors, insurance) was offered. This is the best team I could get for the first time buying house. I can't express how grateful we are that we meet you all. Thank you!

Cemalie Doganca- mortgage advisor who helped me

The mortgage advisor who helped me through the application process was phenomenon. Her knowledge, expertise and professionalism was second to none. She was extremely helpful and communicated so well throughout the process. She updated me with progress of my application in a timely manner and discussed all my options and recommended products based on my needs. Cemalie Doganca is an asset to her company. The service I received from her was exceptional! A very personalised service and tailored to my needs.
