I am purchasing a shared ownership property and the service provided by Richard Seager and Jay Anderson has been great.... Richard has been my broker and has found me a mortgage with a very low interest rate very quickly. He also took the time to explain the ins and outs of the mortgage deal in detail. Jay has been my case worker and has worked quickly to process the application and keep myself and the Housing Association up to date with the progress until I received the offer from the lender. Jay was also very helpful answering queries I had. The whole experience was stress free.read more

I used them for buying a shared ownership property in London. Deme did my assessment and explained the process really... well and was very responsive to my needs. I really felt like she was on my side and that I could be open with her about my financial details and she would get me the best deal. It was then Jay who did the application for the mortgage and she was really quick and efficient and answered all my many email questions. Overall, a very positive experience.read more

Highly recommended for first time buyers. I'm doing shared ownership, Richard was patient and took me through all... information I needed and frankly, was quite lost in. He helped me get all my paperwork ready for the lender before they even requested it so it was smooth sailing from then on. Matthew was also great, incredibly responsive, didn't need to chase answers to my questions. I always had a reply to my email within a couple of hours. Very courteous, very helpful, gave me the confidence to apply for a mortgage, pretty much sorted it all out for me, will definitely contact them again as and when needed.read more

Censeo were amazing to work with, particularly as a first time buyer, and I would not hesitate to use them again. From... my initial meeting with Dwayne Simpson who talked me through the options and process in a calm and uncomplicated manner, to the subsequent mortgage process. Jay Anderson in particular has been incredible in his response times to my queries and keeping me up to date with the process without being prompted! I felt the entire process was smooth, their communication was transparent and their professionalism couldn't be faulted. Thank you so much for helping me with the process!read more

The best experience in the whole process of getting out new home. We highly recommend Censeo to everyone who is looking... for a support to jump on the property ladder. Anthony and Jay were helpful, responsive and on top of everything. They found us a mortgage and took us smoothly through the whole process. We will be staircasing with them soon. One thing we couldn’t do is to say ‘thank you’ in person for their high quality service and commitment.read more

Being a first time buyer, I was totally overwhelmed but I felt immediately comfortable after speaking to Richard. He... has always been available and have been brilliant in helping me arrange my mortgage and exploring all the options available. He answered all my questions and made everything easy to understand. Communication was excellent with the rest of the team.I would definitely reccomend!read more

Having used Censeo since my first mortgage transaction, I've had the pleasure of dealing with the same consultant... throughout the years and he also remembered me which made it feel like a more personal service. The consultant was also quite knowledgeable in answering all my questions and providing options that he considered best but also from companies that I wanted to deal with. No robotic service provided and not trying to simply sell you a product so this is what you want from an advisory firm. Would recommend them when doing any mortgage or re-mortgage.read more
