"As first time buyers, my fiancé and I booked an initial appointment/informal chat with Gary hoping to gather some information on the current property market and whether getting a mortgage was even a possibility for us. He was friendly, informative and spoke at a level which we understood. I would recommend SPF to anyone looking to buy their first home."
Samantha le Cras - SPF CLIENT
"Jez & the team at SPF have been wonderful from start to finish. We will use them again without a doubt. Highly recommended."
Aaron Dodsworth - SPF CLIENT

Clare Louise Arnold - SPF CLIENT
"Buying our first house was daunting but with the help of Jez and the team it was made a lot easier and less stressful. From day 1 Jez was very attentive to all our needs and always acted promptly on any questions we had. After this experience I wouldn't rush to look anywhere else for mortgage advice and am so happy we decided to visit SPF."
"SPF was recommended to us by a family member who had received help when buying their first property so we decided to go to SPF for advice and assistance. We immediately booked an appointment and had a meeting with Jez. He was very friendly and quickly helped us gain the information we needed to make an informed decision. Jez was always quick to respond to any queries which we had and presented the information we needed to know at a level we could understand. We would definitely recommend SPF to anyone who is looking at buying property."
Diogo Marques - SPF CLIENT
"SPF (Jez) have sorted two mortgages for us and on both occasions were highly professional, helpful and efficient. We will definitely use them again!"
Gareth David Kinsey - SPF CLIENT
"I have used Savills Private Finance both personally and via my company - personally for car insurance and professionally for healthcare cover for my employees and public liability cover for the office. I have found Steve Williamson and the team to be excellent at comparing the market and presenting the best deals both in terms of cost and quality of cover. Indeed, the healthcare provider they recommended initially was not one I had heard of but has provided cover and service as good as Bupa and Axa PPP, who I have used previously, but at a significant discount to their costs. I highly recommend the team."
James Blower - SPF CLIENT
"Excellent Service from the word go. As a first time buyer Gary took the time to explain all of the options and nuances with regards to both obtaining a mortgage and deciding upon mortgage protection. With his help, i've managed to secure my preferred mortgage option with a view to going to court in the near future. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending the services of SPF to anybody."
"Thank you for going above and beyond in helping us to secure our forever home. None of this would have been possible without you. We want you to know how much we appreciate everything you've done to make this possible. Thank you again."
Ogier Family - SPF CLIENT
"It is difficult to find your way onto the property ladder in Guernsey for the first time, but after a brief meeting with SPF I went away armed with the knowledge of how much I could borrow, what the monthly repayments would be and which lender was likely to be the most suitable for my needs. When I found a property I was interested in (which was really outside my budget), I called SPF and said "what's the highest offer can I put in?" They told me and one month later I had been to court to complete the purchase. SPF did all the paperwork for me on my mortgage application and worked behind the scenes to ensure the money was there when I needed it. The whole process was very easy and stress free. I would highly recommend them."
Sam Williams - SPF CLIENT
"Jez at SPF has helped me with two mortgages and on both occasions he has done a fantastic job. Professional, friendly and communicates well keeping you informed and up to date all the time. What more can you say, Mr Robin is very good at his job and gets results when other people can't. It has been a pleasure doing business with Jez, thank you for a job well done."
"I can't thank SPF enough for all of their help whilst trying to obtain my first mortgage. Doing it alone was difficult but Pierre was as determined to help as I was determined to succeed! I can't say I was an easy customer but nothing was any bother for anyone from the ladies in the reception area right through to Pierre who was there every step of the way helping to provide information where needed, explaining things I didn't quite understand and checking in to make sure the process was going as it should be.
Their service and friendly atmosphere is amazing and I would definitely recommend SPF to anyone! Thanks so much again - from one very happy homeowner."
Jemma De Carteret - SPF CLIENT
"Pierre at SPF was one of the first people we came in contact with when we were looking to relocate to Guernsey due to work. He made the process of arranging a mortgage very simple - he was very well connected, knowing a lot of people! That was 10 years ago and since then Pierre and his colleagues have continued to offer great guidance."
Stephen Hare - SPF CLIENT
"We wouldn't dream of going anywhere else for mortgage advice, they have been so very helpful over the years and have access to such a wide range of products, that they always come up with the very best deal to suit our needs.

Jo Delbridge - SPF CLIENT
"My fiancé and I were looking to buy our first house and Gary's help was very useful!

We were so impressed that we now have various products with them in insurance and pensions as well and would strongly recommend them to friends and family."

He filled out all of the necessary forms, told us what we needed to do and kept us updated throughout the process. As a young couple it was hard to secure a mortgage, but Jez helped fight our cause and we could not be happier that we are now on the property ladder! The service was very good, and Dianne was also very helpful. We would highly recommend SPF."

Jairus Cassell - SPF CLIENT
"SPF, I only dropped in to see how they could help. Two properties later they are still helping me out. What made things so easy for me - working on site without internet, printer, scanner etc, and as someone who was generally not up to speed with any of it - was that after our first meeting everything was taken care of and I was only called to answer a question or confirm something. To sum it up my dealings with them have been nothing short of fantastic, to complete what many people call the ' most stressful time of your life ' in very little time and completely stress free made the whole thing an exciting adventure. All I can say to those looking to purchase, pop in and see them for a chat."
"SPF offer a friendly, excellent service that both Jenna and I can highly recommend. Pierre was always happy to answer phone calls at any time of day and regularly answered all our questions. We have now used SPF on two occasions for mortgage advice and both times we have received a very professional and reliable service. They provide great advice, which we really appreciated, thanks very much Pierre & SPF!"

"Having just completed on my first property purchase I can safely say that Jez could not made have made the process any easier. I had two meetings in which he went through the steps with me making aware of everything that he would do and everything that i would need to do, of which was very little! I would definitely recommend him."
Peter Cavagnetto - SPF CLIENT
"Highly recommended for excellent service and first class attention. We have used their services on numerous occasions for mortgage brokering and their London colleagues for valuations. We would have no hesitation to recommend their services and abilities to bring workable solutions quickly and efficiently, time after time."
Phil Dentith - SPF CLIENT
"I was recommended to SPF from another mortgage broker as I didn't fit their criteria. After 1 phone call on a late Monday afternoon, appointment the following Tuesday afternoon. Having met Pierre that afternoon, who put me at ease and said it could take up to approximate 10 days for the mortgage application to be processed. By that Thursday of the same week, Pierre emailed me to confirm my application had been accepted. I can not thank him enough, excellent service, stress free and everything including the insurances required were arranged and sorted with out me having to do very much. I am now settled happily in my new house, and would recommend SPF to everyone. Thanks so much guys, a good team effort."
Cathy Loveridge - SPF CLIENT
"The service that was provided to us was second to none and we would not hesitate in recommending SPF to any potential client of theirs in the future. I have the upmost confidence in them receiving the efficient, quality service that we received during a very difficult house purchase.
The property was put back on the market and went under offer with another agent 70% into the purchase process. Court dates were agreed and then the dates were moved, this happened 3 times. This created a lot of extra un-necessary work for all involved. It was a very traumatic time for us and SPF acted very fast and worked to very tight deadlines in a professional manner to secure the purchase. We are very pleased with the service that was provided to us and would highly recommend them in the future."
Chris Winter (Building Surveyor BSc (Hons), C.Build E, MCABE) - SPF CLIENT
"Working with Pierre has been an excellent experience, he has been very flexible fitting us in for appointments with very short notice and providing us with all the information needed. I would highly recommend using SPF."
"We have been back in Guernsey for 6 years now and we have used SPF for everything financial since our return. They have been so helpful that there has never been a need to go anywhere else. We have recommended them to lots of friends and family members and I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be where we are now without the help of Jez along the way."
