Verified BuyerI have just completed on my house purchase and am delighted with the service I received from Victoria Todd at John Charcol. This is the second time I have asked for her help, and on each occasion she went the extra mile to deliver prompt, excellent advice. We had to change the requirements halfway through, and she has always been able to adapt or make helpful suggestions. The team also put me in touch with other support on the house sale, all good advice and service from their partners too. I would have no hesitation in recommending Victoria and John Charcol services, their professionalism will get you through the stress of UK house buying!
