Client Testimonials

Before I discovered Barry, I used to spend a lot of time looking through competitive rates, talking to different lenders etc. only for things to change by the time I completed my research. With his sound knowledge of the market coupled with efficient manner in which Barry operates, I’ve been able to remove the stress I used to experience every couple of years. Barry offers what I consider to be a very personalised and professional service that is tailored to your needs and I no longer have to spend hours on the phone with numerous different people across all the lenders. I could not recommend Barry’s services highly enough. Thank you Barry!

Barry has arranged two Fixed Rate, “Buy to Let”, mortgages for me on an “interest only” basis. He takes all the hassle and frustration of applying for mortgages away, and comes back extremely quickly with a number of options, cost comparisons and his own recommendations, based on your own personal circumstances, not some generic hypothetical situation.  Everything is explained in layman’s terms, in an efficient and concise manner, and tailored to you. If mortgages confuse you, and you want a reliable professionally cost effective service, Barry is the man for you. He will not let you down, and you will not find a better mortgage to suit your on circumstances. I would not now ever consider going to anyone else.

He is quick, efficient , reliable and always a pleasure to deal with and understands the mortgage market  especially for complex cases.  I have no reservations in recommending him.

I am very pleased with my experience with Barry. He was very easy to talk to and always available to answer any questions by phone or email.

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.

Believe me you can’t get better and now I will be restructuring all my finances with him. Thank you Barry!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
