John helped me secure a mortgage for the purchase of my first home, from start to finish his service was fantastic. He took the time to explain everything clearly and was quick to answer any questions I had. As a first time buyer he made the whole process smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend.

We had a great experience with John at Mortgages Abode. He was incredibly thorough and clearly very knowledgeable, taking the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense. John was always at the end of the phone whenever we had a question, no matter how small, and he kept us fully updated throughout the whole process. Most importantly, he worked hard to get us the best deal possible. We felt supported and confident every step of the way and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
John is a seasoned professional in the mortgage arena. He knows the market extremely well and is an expert at matching your needs, however complex, with the best mortgage. Excellent communicator who always keeps you informed. Highly recommended!

We used Adobe Mortgages for our original mortgage 5 years ago, he is so professional and friendly and helpful. There was no question to use him again when we needed to re-mortgage. We had a very challenging and difficult time with a certain solicitors/Bank and John went above and beyond to support us and make sure we were ok. I have always felt supported by John and that we are safe in his hands

John from Abode Mortgages provided an excellent service to me whilst buying my first home and was able to broker a mortgage that was suitable for me and within my means. He guided me through what can at times be a daunting process, and he was always available to provide his expertise when questions would arrive, and assisted with driving matters forward with the solicitors when required. I highly recommend Abode Mortgages to anyone looking to get a mortgage.

It was a pleasure working through our first-time buy process with John. He made it easy, understandable, and was always on hand to advise us. John is easy-going, trustworthy, and approachable, and was no doubt worth the small expense to have on board. John was also able to recommend other reliable professionals involved in the process, e.g. a solicitor and building surveyor, who overall made the experience relatively stressless. We hope to work with John again in the future, and will definitely be recommending him to others.

Can't recommend John Carter/Abode Mortgages highly enough. As a (very old) first time buyer I needed all the help and John could not have been more helpful in helping me secure my first home. He was suggested to me by a friend who also used his services and I will be further recommending onwards.

John has dealt with our complex remortgage process with due diligence and care. We cannot thank him enough for the support and prompt follow ups on our case and will happily recommend his services to anyone who needs a financial advisor. Thank you John and fingers crossed next time things will be more straightforward!

John was perfect, nothing was too much effort. Be it speaking with Solicitors, Developers or anyone else who rose their heads he had it covered. At all times he kept us in the loop. Constantly on call no matter if he was on leave in the office or sick he would always reply. I would never use anyone else!

I think the common thought when going through the house buying process is that applying for a mortgage is an incredibly complicated, time-consuming and headache-inducing process. My partner and I certainly thought the same when we embarked on the process as first time buyers.
As it transpired, going through the mortgage application process turned out to be the easiest and most stress-free part of the whole process, but I don't think that would've been possible if we didn't have the sage guidance of John and Abode Mortgages.
John explained everything to us in easily digestible terms, clearly navigated us through the process by clearly explaining our options, making the document collation process simple, and keeping us updated through every step of the way.
John works to an industry-leading standard for a very modest price and we are so thankful that we had John hold our hand through an incredibly stressful house purchase as uninformed first time buyers, and he really helped relieve us of all worries we had.
We are so grateful for John's time and patience, and everyone can rest assured that you are in safe hands when working with John.

John's experience and professionalism was second to none and we definitely felt supported the whole way through the process - which was by no means straight forward! Nothing was too much, and John was always non-judgemental and excellent at communicating with us. I can't recommend Abode Mortgages enough - highly recommended for sure.

From the day we contacted John for advice about a new mortgage, to the day we moved into our new home we were advised, supported and helped more than we could ever have imagined. John's expertise and professionalism was exceptional and I cannot fault the service that he provided. I genuinely don't think we could have made this move without him. Thank you John, for everything.

John took all the stress out of buying a home, he sorted everything and was at an arms length when ever we Weren't sure on something. we also had a few issues with the sellers estate agents/ solicitors which John sorted promptly and nothing was to much of a fuss. Towards the end of the process John was also able to help us with a quality home Inscurance and the same with life cover and explained the reasonings behind his choices.

As someone who knew very little about mortgages and how to obtain one, applying for one seemed like the most daunting task!
John made it easy and as stress free as possible and kept me up to date all the time. John responded to all my queries incredibly quickly and never made me feel like I was asking silly questions.
I would recommend John to anyone who is looking for mortgage advice!
This time last year I didn’t think I’d ever own a property in my own right, and here I am writing this review from my very own living room!

Extremely helpful, patient and professional. Would recommend!

John was amazing throughout the entire process. Our mortgage survived two national lockdowns, two sets of furlough, a redundancy and two job changes! Once we had our mortgage offer accepted John then talked us through some insurance and protection options. Once we selected the most appropriate (and cost effective) package John sorted everything on our behalf.
The service was friendly, professional and honest!! Nothing was too much for John and he really went ABOVE & BEYOND!
Thank you so much!

John was absolutely fantastic in facilitating my mortgage. As a single lady on my own with only one income I can quite honestly say I wouldn’t have got my mortgage without his expertise.
He was professional from start to finish and was a constant support throughout.
The service his company provides is outstanding and I would certainly recommend him to anyone and I will be for sure using his company again!
I am 100% sure that without johns years of knowledge and industry experience I wouldn’t be sat here today writing this review in the living room of my own home!
Thanks John!

First class service from John at Adobe Mortgages despite a lot of issues with Optima legal John battled through on our behalf to get the mortgage complete in the nick of time. He also offers advice and options with careful thought. Thanks John
