Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up the repayments on your mortgage.

I was given Stuart’s contact details by a family member who has used his services for years and has nothing but good things to say. I am in complete agreement. From start to finish Stuart and Sharon were prompt, efficient and took the time to explain things clearly. We discussed various options and the best mortgage deals for my personal circumstances, rather than picking a “headline figure”. From application to offer took two days. Superb. I would wholeheartedly recommend Stuart and Sharon for your mortgage needs. I will be using them again when the time comes to remortgage. Thank you very much. - Simon W, Aylesbury - May 2022

Stuart has been absolutely amazing. As first time buyers, we had no idea what to expect when purchasing our first property. We bought further than where we currently live and Stuart talked us through every step of the way, giving us all the options available. He came highly recommended by both family and friends that have worked with him and for good reason! So prompt with responses, extremely detailed and clear and always just a message away whenever we were confused or worried about anything. Thanks so much Stuart! We will definitely be using your services again in the future. - Lia & Miguel Derbyshire - March 2022

Thanks again Stuart for sorting my mortgage so easily and efficiently. 21 years down the line and as always I know I’m in a safe pair of hands. Next step will be the kids and their mortgages! Thanks to Sharon too, super helpful and patient with any of my annoying queries! - Kate H, Hemel Hempstead - January 2022

We have been clients of Stuart Brown's for 15+yrs now and there is a very good reason for that. We were 1st time buyers but Stuart had explained the procedures so simply it made our 1st steps on the property ladder so easy. Since then we have always gone to him for anything mortgage and finance related and just recently Stuart and Sharon have helped us move to our new home. Would highly recommend them, they are very professional, clear, concise and more importantly patient and friendly….thank you for everything - Aaron B, Hemel Hempstead- January 2022

I have asked Stuart and Sharon to help me in my last two house purchases. They have always been friendly, efficient and super professional. With them, the stress of a house sell and purchase was much reduced. In clear language; details of the mortgage offer, life insurance and all the other related bits of the conveyancing process was laid out clearly for me to consider. Their advice has always been clear and concise. I highly recommend their services to anyone who is moving house and urge anyone to give them a call for some friendly advice. - Wai-Ming L, Herts- October 2021

As a first timer, Stuart and Sharon helped guide me through all the steps that were involved, informing me of every bit of information I need and making sure I was satisfied with everything that was on offer. Any worries I had were quickly calmed by their clear and informative assistance. Would highly recommend their services to anyone who needs them. Thank you again for everything. - Jordan S, Beds - September 2021

Stuart helped us with our mortgage as well as the requisite life and critical illness insurances. He was great at talking us through all the different options and helping us decide what worked best for us; and also walking us through the house purchase process, which as first time buyers was a mystery to us! He and Sharon took on all the applications for us which meant we didn’t have to worry about it - we gave them the details and they did the rest! He also helped us find a good solicitor who was fantastic and we would recommend to anyone. He also gave us valuable advice when our first purchase hit bumps in the road, and helped us figure out what the next steps could be. We would definitely recommend Stuart for mortgage and insurance advice. - James G, London - July 2021

I have been using Stuart for many years now. He takes all the pressure and worry out of finding a mortgage. He knows his clients’ circumstances and does his research before appointments so you are fully informed. He always finds the right product but never pushes a hard sell. He has the client’s best interests in mind. He gives excellent, impartial advice and really listens to what you want and can afford. He is efficient and thorough. I have always felt confident with his advice and the mortgages he has found for me are always exactly what I need. If you are looking for impartial, truly independent mortgage or financial advice, I cannot recommend him highly enough. - Diane H, Hemel Hempstead - March 2021

Stuart and Sharon are fantastic! They have been a huge asset in helping us with moving house/renewing our mortgage and our life insurance. Stuart is great at cutting through the jargon and helping us to understand what is best for our situation whilst always thinking about what our future plans maybe. Its invaluable especially when you have a young family and no time to trawl through the Internet looking for mortgages (and not understanding what you're looking for!) - just couldn't recommend them enough, friendly, professional and always great service. Adele & Mark (Herts) - March 2021

We cannot thank Stuart & Sharon enough for helping us with our first time home. Their knowledge and genuine care for ensuring we understood every step of the process was really invaluable. As first time buyers it is hard to know where to start and what steps to take, They made it all very clear and understandable from the start. Thank you so much from Connor & Olivia (Flitwick) and we look forward to working with you in the future. - Feb 2021

This was our first time using Stuart Mortgage Services after being referred by a friend. We are really pleased to say he lived up to our expectations and we would recommend him to anyone who is trying to buy their first property with a knowledgeable, experienced and patient broker. He took his time and explained all the possibilities we had and didn't force us into any decisions but just gave us the facts and left us to decide the best option. ” Karolina & Brian. Watford - Jan 2021

“Another big +1 for Stuart Recently helped me with a relatively complex restructuring of finances. He listened to the outcomes I was looking for, explained the options to me and left it to me to decide how to proceed. Easy to get hold of – no call centres or call handlers and works around you in terms of making appointments. Clear in his explanation of options, no pushy sales chatter just straightforward, honest advice. Highly recommend you talking to him if you’re in the need of a mortgage/remortgage. Terrible jumper collection, mind.” Mike G, Harpenden

“We have been receiving advice and guidance from Stuart for over 5 years on multiple house purchases and re-mortgages and couldn’t be happier with the excellent advice and guidance that he has provided.

“A house purchase can be a daunting process but with the correct advice it doesn’t have to be complicated; My wife and I were referred to ‘Stuart Brown Mortgage Services’ by a good friend and approached them for assistance when buying our first house together. We were novices at the time and needed professional guidance on how to secure a mortgage, as well as ensuring that it would be suitable for our budgetary requirements. From the outset Stuart was helpful and proficient, visiting us at a location of choice to run through the various options on offer. There were many different products available but with support from Stuart we were able to select the appropriate mortgage with relative ease. The information we received was extensive yet clear, all options were explored thoroughly with many different scenarios being discussed and explained in detail. Stuart’s knowledge and expertise really provided confidence that we were making the right choice with regard to product selection. We had some complications due to the initial purchase falling through due to our own indecision, but Stuart was patient, helpful, and quick to revise the offer to facilitate purchase of the property we finally settled upon. Since then all our recent mortgage renewals (plus a new mortgage when we moved) have been dealt with by Stuart and his wife Sharon. In summary, a trustworthy and professional family company that provide sound advice and consistently good service each time, we thoroughly recommend SBMS.” Lewis & Jenny, Somerset

“Stuart and Sharon offer an amazing and comforting service in this infuriatingly complex world of forms automated responses confusing vocabulary etc etc. They gently lead you through all the jargon & get you a super deal that suits your lifestyle and I cannot praise their service enough. Put it like this – I wouldn’t use anyone else and as my kids and their friends get to the stage of needing help and advice I know who’s number I will be giving them. First dealt with in 2009 helped facilitate our move to Somerset from Hemel in 2010 and we can’t thank them enough.” Caroline E, Exmoor July, 2019

What makes all the difference with them is they aren’t just financial advisors, they care, and offer all the options there are.

“Stuart did such a good job with my son’s mortgage that I had no hesitation in recommending him to my step-daughter for her first mortgage. He patiently stepped through the options and made sure she clear about the issues and her obligations. The mortgage offer came through very speedily. Unfortunately there was a problem with the lease which took several months to resolve (no fault of Stuart) and the mortgage offer was in danger of time-expiring. Stuart engaged with the lender and with my step-daughter’s solicitor to ensure that it all came good in the end. First class support.” Tim W (2018)
-
“I would thoroughly recommend Stuart Brown who helped me with what turned out to be a rather tricky mortgage application which was initially declined.

“I have used Stuart and Sharon for our mortgages and life assurance for almost 20 years. The first mortgage he arranged got us a very good tracker rate, so we benefited hugely from the low bank of England base rate and paid this mortgage off a number of years early. Now having gone through a divorce and buying a house of my own, Stuart and Sharon have helped me at every step and I am now in control of my own finances and have peace of mind for myself and my sons. I have just moved into my new house and couldn’t be happier (once I have unpacked everything!)” Katherine D, Hemel Hempstead
