Highly Recommend Metro Finance

It was quite daunting going through this on my own arranging a mortgage etc , but Natalie Johnson & Christie king have been fantastic from start to finish. They have helped me every step of the way, always available to answer any questions I have. They have made the whole experience worth it. 5*****

Simply brilliant

My experience was brilliant from start to finish. Phil Pearson (my mortgage advisor) at Meridian-Metro and Will Timms and Joshua Payne (case handlers/managers) all did amazingly in ensuring the affordability/necessary checks moved along quickly. They updated my case daily and were always clear on requests for what was needed from myself.

All of the team were always available on call and very responsive. Phil helped me to find an amazing mortgage deal which has got me my dream home.

I cannot thank them all enough and would recommend them to anyone looking for a mortgage in future.

Brilliant Service and Genuine Support All the Way.

I want to say a big thank you to Laura Methley, my mortgage advisor, who has been extremely helpful from start to finish. She’s very knowledgeable, always quick to respond, and has kept me updated at every stage. She’s handled all my questions and requests for documents promptly, making the whole process clear and easy to follow.

I also want to thank Holly Barwell, who has been amazing to work with. She’s guided me through everything with great professionalism and care. I’m still working with both of them, but it looks like we’re nearly there with my first home purchase. I’m very grateful for all their help and support throughout this journey!

Exceptional Service and Support Throughout My Shared Ownership Journey

From the very beginning of my shared ownership house reservation and mortgage application, I have been absolutely blown away by the level of care, professionalism, and dedication shown by the team — particularly Laurie Mather, Lauren Dew, and Kia Tucker.

Laurie has been fantastic from start to finish, I couldn’t be more thankful.

The reservation process felt effortless, thanks to Laurie and Lauren. Clearly explaining every step and ensuring that all my questions were answered with patience and clarity. Their friendly and proactive communication took away any stress and made me feel confident throughout.

Laurie and Kia were fantastic during the mortgage application stage. They guided me through all the paperwork, provided clear updates, and worked tirelessly to make sure everything moved smoothly and on time. Their knowledge and efficiency were second to none.

Thanks to Laurie, Lauren, and Kia, what could have been a complicated and overwhelming process became a positive and exciting experience. I’m so grateful for their professionalism, kindness, and dedication. We couldn’t recommend them — or Metro highly enough!

We had a seamless financial assessment and mortgage process with the Metro team. Laura Methley, Lauren Dew and Robert Hoyle were really helpful. They were thorough and took their time to review all the documents required. I will recommend Metro to my friends at anytime

An Excellent and professional experience I received from Lois and Amy and team at Metro Finance in my affordability sign-off procedure for a Shared-Ownership property.
Definitely not an simple process but I was guided through the process with ease. Thank you. JK.

Unable to prioritise - super advisor

A botched-up affordability check was holding up the completion of a flat purchase. We were literally sitting on boxes. This wasn't Metro's fault but they needed to act quickly to help us move on. We couldn't convince the call handlers to put us through to someone to expedite. It was always passed through to a callback from an advisor which didn't happen. Eventually we were told to send documents by mail, which we did. This was in error because the "portal" should had been used. The mail languished. We were given conflicting information. After repeated calls Arun V was a person who randomly picked up our call. He changed everything. He immediately took on our case and quickly lead us step by step all the way through to a successful conclusion. He was very professional and calmed us down during a very stressful time. He even hinted he may work over the weekend to sort our application.
Conclusion. Metro systems are unable to prioritise urgent cases. Arun V is a star and went over and above to help us over the line. Give him a bonus. Case reference 2549382.

very good experience

I've had very good experience with Metro Finance. As a first time buyer I have been very worried about the process, but all staff are very helpful and professional. I like that they know who is calling just from you number and the online portal was very easy to use.

First Class Service

Lois and her associates couldn’t have been more helpful,we felt they were on our side and tried very hard to back us.Unfortunately we have been informed today that 13 housing would want a 25%downpayment which we are not prepared to do.We are very sorry after all you efforts are in vain Cheers Carol and Henry Atkin

I'd recommend Metro Finance

I had an amazing experience working with Metro Finance especially with Josh as my broker along Arun. Both of them were very supportive, knowledgeable and professional. They kept me informed at every step.Being a first time buyer I was a little bit nervous and stressed but Josh was very supportive and lifted a load of stress from my shoulders

Fantastic service - recommended to all

I was really impressed by the level of service I received from Metro Finance! Caitlin Appleton and Nicholas Egan were both fantastic in helping to get my mortgage sorted, they were both very quick to respond and nothing was too much trouble for either of them. They made a stressful process much easier and I can’t thank them enough, and I would not hesitate to use them again in the future
