David Pendry and Jodie hooper were both very helpful. I would highly recommend to use censeo financial.

As a first-time buyer, I originally wasn’t planning on using a mortgage advisor at all—I thought I’d just try to figure everything out myself. But after being introduced to Chris, it very quickly became clear that he really knew his stuff, and I could see the value straight away. Deciding to go ahead was one of the best choices I made during the whole process.
Chris and Jodie were both absolutely fantastic from start to finish. As someone who had no real understanding of the terminology or what was actually important, it made such a difference having people there who could explain everything clearly and patiently. They never once made me feel silly for asking questions (and I asked a lot!), which gave me so much confidence throughout.
They truly went above and beyond at every stage, and I always received a response within 24 hours, which made the whole experience feel smooth and stress-free.
I honestly can’t recommend them enough—worth every penny and just an amazing level of service. If you’re on the fence about using a mortgage advisor, I’d say go for it, especially if you can work with people like Chris and Jodie!

Jonathan worked really hard under high work loads to ensure my
Mortgage offer was issued quickly. He went above and beyond to ensure that the lender met the deadline.

All round excellent experience. We were purchasing our property during the interest rate hikes this month, and Jack Stanton our mortgage advisor was extremely smooth and professional in securing our mortgage as soon as we could as he did not want us to be paying a higher rate.
He explained each step well and left us well informed to make decisions about the mortgage.
All the paperwork from there has been correct and we have been kept well in the loop by Jodie Hooper through email.

Thank you so much, Dwayne Simpson and Ruth Escobar quickly and professionally sorted out my mortgage as a first-time buyer for a shared ownership property. I am so grateful for the excellent advice they provided. They were easy to contact and responded quickly to my emails whenever I had questions. I cannot thank them enough and highly recommend them. Thank you again for everything!

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Censeo, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
David has been outstanding from start to finish – truly the best broker I could have asked for. As a first-time buyer, this process was very important to me, and David was incredibly patient, kind, and always willing to help. He took the time to explain everything clearly, worked through all the figures with me, and made sure I understood every step.
His knowledge is exceptional – he really knows his job inside out – and I always felt I was in safe hands. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and his support throughout the entire process meant so much to me.
Thank you so much, David, and to everyone at Censeo who was involved. I truly appreciate all your hard work.
I highly recommend Censeo – and definitely ask for David. He will get the job done! :)

I want to express my deepest gratitude for the unwavering support throughout my mortgage application. Reena Rai, Ruth Escbar Munoz, and the team demonstrated remarkable patience and dedication, tirelessly working to overcome the lengthy delay and ensure a successful outcome.
Their professionalism, persistence, and clear communication transformed a challenging process into one that was much more manageable. I am truly grateful for the effort they invested on my behalf.

Jodie Hooper and Reena Rai have supported us through the process of obtaining our mortgage which was a relaxed and supported experience

Censeo made the process simple and enjoyable. The regular communication was reassuring and I always knew the status of my application. I’d highly recommend using their services.

Huge thanks to Chris and Mercedes at Censeo Financial. What impressed me the most was Chris's incredible knowledge of the mortgage market. My financial history prior to my current job was slightly non-standard, which I thought might cause issues. However, Chris knew exactly which lender to approach to ensure a smooth application. Thanks to his expertise and Mercedes' brilliant efficiency, the entire process from start to getting my keys took a record 5 weeks! Flawless, stress-free service.

I can’t recommend Jack and Ruth highly enough. From start to finish, they were knowledgeable, supportive, and extremely efficient, guiding me carefully through what was, at times, a very stressful mortgage process.
They were always quick to respond, took the time to clearly explain my options, and kept everything moving without ever making me feel rushed. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and calm, reassuring approach really stood out.
Thanks to Jack and Ruth’s ongoing support and expertise, I felt well‑informed and confident at each stage. I would happily recommend them to anyone seeking expert and dependable mortgage advice.

Censeo have provided me with an excellent service in relation to the financial aspects of my recent property purchase. Jack Stanton in particular was a pleasure to liaise with on my mortgage application and Mercedes Ryan was equally good at handling the subsequent successful mortgage offer process. My only difficulty occurred towards the start as there was some confusion about a Censeo pro-forma gift letter that I needed to use which wasn’t explained to me by the administrative staff. Otherwise it was a thoroughly professional, helpful and efficient service.

From start to finish, the interaction with Censeo was seamless. Both Chris and Mercedes have assisted in every way possible and I cannot thank them enough. Would definitely recommend!

Quickly and professionally got my mortgage sorted out for a shared ownership house that I'm buying late in life. :-)
Gave me good advice re: the term and found a product that I'm more than happy with.

Censeo Financial emailed as expected, 6 months, before end of Fixed interest rates on the Mortgage.
This helped us to choose 1 of the 2 options.
The person, Mr Matthew Caterer, dealing with us, was kind, helpful and explained everything we needed to know.
He is an asset to your Company.

Very polite and helpful.
This was my first time applying for a mortgage.
Emails and phone calls were responded to and helped with this process

Reply from Censeo Financial
Was an absolute shambles from beginning to end. We lost a property due to a ‘mistake’. Would not recommend.

Matthew made my mortgage transfer process stress free and the whole process was efficiently handled by him. He was more than happy to answer any queries I had and explained things in a simple way which gave me more confidence in my decision making. Would definitely recommend his services.

We worked with Censeo for our first purchase and it was overwhelmingly good.
Dwayne Simpson and Jodie Hooper were amazing! Both of them were incredibly helpful and transparent at every step of the way. They took very good care of our case.
As stressful as applying for a mortgage can be, they made it very smooth and we were always informed of the process.
Thank you Dwayne and Jodie for everything! You made our process of buying our first home very pleasant.
I strongly recommend working with Censeo!!
