We recently remortgaged our property for the final outstanding balance. Justin was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and the whole process went without a hitch. We’ll be recommending Justin @ EHF Mortgages to all our family and friends - well worth the five stars!

Justin has dealt with our mortgage requirements for the last 13 years. Recently we needed to renew our mortgage and with rumblings of interest rate rises tomorrow, Justin quickly arranged the best deal for us (which couldn’t be beaten elsewhere) before the rates were increased. A trustworthy, personal service - always!

I have been trying to move for over four years, facing countless challenges due to the cladding crisis and a string of plain bad luck. Throughout this, Justin at Essex Home Finance has been a beacon of hope and support. Justin has dedicated an immense amount of time and effort to help me secure my new home. His advice was invaluable, guiding me through every step with expertise and genuine care. It's clear that he truly prioritises what’s best for his clients, making the entire process far less daunting. Thanks to Justin's unwavering support and commitment, I am finally in my new home. I cannot recommend Essex Home Finance highly enough and wouldn’t consider going to anyone else. If you’re in need of a reliable, caring, and knowledgeable advisor, Justin is the person to turn to.

As first time buyers we felt rather overwhelmed with idea of finding and applying for a mortgage. We had no idea how much we could borrow and what that would mean for us in terms of monthly payments. It was really daunting but luckily Justin was recommend to us and I would absolutely now recommend him to everyone I know!!! Not only is he supper quick at getting back to you but he explains things to you in a practical way you can understand. He gave us loads of options and in the end secured us a great mortgage at a time interest rates were fluctuating. I cannot imagine how we’d have managed without his help and thoroughly recommend him. Thanks Justin!

We have just completed the fifth remortgage that Justin has arranged for us over the years and, yet again, we're on a great deal and everything has worked perfectly. I would like to thank Justin and his team for their wonderful customer service and I can't recommend EHF Mortgages highly enough.
