Client Testimonials

We have had outstanding service from Barry Marcus from start to finish. We have recently taken out an Advanced Loan on our mortgage and the process was straight forward and quick.  Barry is knowledgeable, professional and at hand by email at all times. We are overwhelmed by his friendliness, kind manner and his drive to want to help. I highly recommend Barry – we certainly wouldn’t use anyone else!

I highly recommend Barry Marcus and The Mortgage Network if you require any mortgage advice. Barry gave me exceptionally good advice and guided me step by step all along the way into setting up my re mortgage. The service provided could not be surpassed in my opinion. Everything was handled with speed and efficiency and the legal advisers that he recommended followed in the same vein. Barry will most certainly be my point of contact for any future financial advice required. The thing that I most appreciated was that there was never any pressure from his end, just very good options and time to consider and he is always that friendly voice at the end of the phone, if you have a question. I have already recommended him to family and friends and can assure anyone that takes up his services will not be disappointed.

Barry is an exemplary professional mortgage broker that has given me a great deal on my buy to let mortgage coupled with the fact that he is so friendly and approachable. Furthermore he went out of his way to get me a 5K reduction on the purchase price of a property that I bought by dealing directly with the estate agent. Now who would do that? Believe me you can’t get better and now I will be restructuring all my finances with him. Thank you Barry!

My wife and I contacted Barry Marcus about starting a new buy to let mortgage, so that we could terminate an expensive twenty year old mortgage. Mr Marcus submitted two possible proposals within a couple of days. We undertook evaluation of the best option for us and accordingly notified Mr Marcus of our decision. Within about two weeks we had completed all the necessary check, had received a formal mortgage offer and he had put us in contact with a firm of solicitors who could undertake the legal work on behalf of the new mortgage provider. About a week later we had the money from the new mortgage provider in our account. Mr Marcus was very efficient and quickly answered and queries we had, in all a very smooth process and all at reasonable cost.

We would highly recommend Barry to any of our friends and family when they need a new mortgage. He helped us find a remortage deal on a home we owned outright for less than 6 months (which isn’t generally the normal!) which he made effortless for us. We felt like there was no worry or stress in the whole process!

Barry was recommended to me by a friend. He is very efficient, organised, very easy to talk to and always available to listen and answer any questions you have.  Barry has years of experience and a good knowledge of the lenders. He takes the stress out of looking for a mortgage. It took about a month from when I contacted Barry to get the mortgage offer approved, the paper work submitted and the money received. I will be recommending Barry to friends and family and will definitely be returning when my mortgage offer ends

I found Barry very helpful the first time I used him for my buy to let property, many years ago . I now just let him sort things out every 5 years ( he reminds me it’s coming to an end). He sorts out the best deal, he’s got all my details so no hassle and new mortgage in place. Would recommend Barry to any of my friends.

Buying a flat for the first time In London can be a daunting task! Barry was introduced to me by a colleague and helped me along the way of choosing the right mortgage. Even when the valuation from the first lender came out low, he helped me get another one at no additional cost, which made the whole process very smooth. He also advised me on price negotiation and I would definitely use his services again for my next purchase.

For years I’ve had to deal with what seemed like financial bureaucrats with never ending questions and answers, until I found Barry! The guy is an absolute pleasure to deal with, making all the ‘Head-spin’ questions easy to answer!, all the connections Barry has are real ‘Pro’s in their ‘line of business’, making it even easier to get to the ‘goal’, He has a great ” we can find a way to to get what you need” attitude .. His ‘nickname’ amongst our Team is ‘Sir Barry Marcus’…say no more!.

Barry has been supporting us on our mortgage requirements for over 15 years. He is highly organised and well connected into the mortgage market meaning that mortgage searches or renewals are a quick and smooth process. Our latest mortgage requirement was considerably less routine than normal, but Barry managed to find well priced options with lenders who could accommodate our needs. He kept us informed on discussions with potential lenders and coordinated the application process to meet the lenders criteria. We will continue to rely on Barry for great support and advice on our mortgage needs.

Barry has been helping us with mortgage advice and assisting us in arranging our mortgages for several years now. From buy-to-let to residential options, he has always taken the time to understand our present circumstances, what we are trying to achieve, offering quality advice, and then acting with the greatest urgency and efficiency to get everything set up, as painlessly as possible. We’ll definitely be using him again in the future, and would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for professional and expert mortgage support.

Barry has been arranging mortgages on my behalf since 2014 (residential and buy-to-let). He is highly professional, knowledgeable and always does what he says he’s going to do with promptly and efficiently. Most importantly I’m confident that Barry always finds the best deals for me and products that suit my needs. Would definitely recommend.

I was recommended to use Barry for my remortgage by my partner who has used him for a long time. The whole process has been so friendly, slick and simple. I was given great advice on the range of products available to me and everything was explained. For someone who has zero knowledge of the process Barry made it really clear what would happen and when with constant updates and a friendly approachable manner that meant I was never afraid to ask stupid questions. Barry always called when he said he would and communication throughout the process was great. I can’t recommend him enough.

Great communicator, (explains everything in detail), always available for a chat & responds promptly to emails. Found me the best product to meet my needs. I will be back in 2 years for my next remortgage ( Unless those lotto numbers come in).

Barry has been our Mortgage Adviser for the past 10 years and has dealt with both our residential and buy to let mortgages. At all times he has been professional in providing an excellent mortgage advice service.

Two years ago Barry helped me find a great mortgage deal for 2 of my flats in Reading. He has just finished the remortgage process following the expiration of the initial mortgage, and everything has proceeded smoothly this time around too. I highly recommend Barry to anyone seeking a residential mortgage. His fees are very competitive and his professionalism is second to none.

Outstanding service from Barry. From the first introduction call to the end of the house purchase Barry has been professional, friendly and extremely helpful. I am a first time buyer and Barry made it a stress-free and a simple process to sort out my mortgage. I was very upset as I could not sort out a mortgage from the previous mortgage advisers I spoken to before I was introduced to Barry. Barry understood my situation of being self-employed and managed to sort out an excellent mortgage. It goes without saying that I highly recommend Barry to anyone. Thank you very much for everything you have done and helping me to buy my first home.

Barry has once again been amazing at finding the best mortgage deal for me on my recent house purchase. From the time I first made the call to the move in date, Barry has been completely engaged and committed to providing the best guidance and support as well as arranging all the background paperwork etc. It was a very stressful period, but Barry gives you confidence and helps ease the journey because he is usually one step ahead of everybody. He is super organised and efficient so you really do feel you are in good hands. Barry is 100 percent client centred and highly trustworthy.

Barry , I would like to thank you again for your time and effort all ways above and beyond with you. I know we have used you a few times as things have not been easy for us and will use you again. I would not hesitate of recommending you to anyone as you have been so helpful and patient especially that I know myself I can be hard work as I’m not always the easiest for understanding but glad you was always polite and willing to help me and my family. Top guy.

I cannot recommend Barry highly enough. He is our go to guy for anything mortgage related, having guided us through several remortgages on our residential property and buy to let investments. First class thorough service with someone who genuinely offers the best advice and finds the best deal for you and your set of circumstances. I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else.

Barry was brilliant. We had been badly let down by our bank – where we had been customers for many years – over a mortgage which we could well afford. Barry came up with a much better, and cheaper, product in very short order as time was pressing.Where our bank had presented problems, Barry provided solutions. We will be changing our bank, but staying with Barry.

Highly recommend Barry, he has guided me through my mortgage every step and discussed all options with me. Completely stress free, fantastic service, would not go anywhere else. Thank you very much!

From his first call through all the detailed follow-up until issue of an advantageous mortgage offer from a first class lender, Barry guided us through the process in a highly professional manner. We would unreservedly recommend him to anyone, particularly if your scenario doesn’t fit the straightforward package usually provided on the high street.

I would highly recommend Barry to anyone. From start to finish Barry has made the whole process so stress free. His advise and knowledge of all products is fantastic and his organisation and time keeping is second to none. We are really happy with the mortgage and life insurance we have taken through Barry and will definitely use him again. Thank you so much Barry.

This is the 4th time I’ve used Barry’s services and, as usual, he was great. Really does take note of individual needs and works hard to deliver just the right product. Thanks a lot Barry.

Barry has been very friendly and helpful to me throughout my mortgage application. He has been providing me Buy to Let Advice and Mortgages for over 9 years now. I fully trust his knowledge and skills to get me the best Buy to Let mortgage for my needs.

I have enjoyed the service I received from Barry and I would recommend to everyone without thinking twice. Great professionalism and always happy to help.

Done a goggle and came across Barry Marcus and have to say have been very pleased with the service in all respects. The solicitor he passed me onto as well was excellent.

Barry is a pleasure to work with – he is knowledgeable, professional and efficient in everything that he does. The whole process of re-mortgaging was made so much easier by Barry’s work and flexibility – he found me a mortgage that matched all my requirements having listened carefully to my demands! Barry was quick to find a deal and answered emails in an efficient way – a clear communicator. Above all, I would recommend Barry to anyone as the friendly, professional service offered took all the stress out of this complicated process.

Barry is thorough, flexible and efficient at what he does for his clients. I find that very useful and reassuring. His advice is fair and well researched. Barry has now arranged on two occasion to remortgage my property and I would not hesitate to pick up the phone and ask his advice again first before I approach someone else. Barry thank you, your advice, professionalism and help is much appreciated.

We could not have asked for better service from a mortgage broker. What a professional service, he really pulled us through the process with a level of customer care second to none. We would definitely use him again and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Barry was recommended to me by my accountant for a “Buy to Let” mortgage. His service is excellent, a stickler for detail, and arranges things faster than you can keep up. He calls you when he says he will, and takes all the hassle away. Worth every penny and finds options you certainly wont discover on your own. He did save me money.
