This was my first time using Jack Gear Financial, after the company was recommended to me. Although they are practically on my doorstep, the demands of my job meant I couldn’t visit the office. However, that didn’t stop Georgia and Beth from handling my mortgage application seamlessly from start to finish.My circumstances were quite complex: I initially wasn’t planning to sell my house, then found another property, pulled out and later found somewhere else. Georgia and Beth were incredibly patient and handled every change perfectly.Their communication was excellent throughout. They even contacted me outside normal working hours with updates or requests for supporting documents. They genuinely went above and beyond.A 10/10 experience all round. I would highly recommend them. More...

This is the second time I’ve used Jacks services now and the team just don’t disappoint! Everyone is just so friendly and easy to speak to. Jack really has gone out of his way to sort out my life insurance cover given my niche profession and he never once said he can’t do it. Outstanding team of individuals.Beth has been friendly throughout the whole process. She answers questions with haste and gave me constant updates so I didn’t have to keep chasing anyone. More...

We came to Jack Gear after being frustrated with another broker and the difference was incredible - everything has been dealt with quickly, efficiently and easily. The staff are all friendly and willing to help. Our application was not straightforward due to us being self-employed but the enquiries raised by the lender were dealt with brilliantly by Jack Gear.

Alfie was absolutely amazing. He was so clear and supportive throughout the whole process and replied to all our emails ( some that probably weren't even questions for him! ) with a kind, friendly and professional manner. We really couldn't have done it without him, he got us the absolute best deal out there for our situation. Thank you. More...

Georgia was very helpful, she guided us through the process and gave us an excellent overview of our options and what would work best for us. We were unlucky that we couldn't get the rates we hoped due to world market fluctuations but that was out of our control and Georgia kept us up to date at each step.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the entire team at this outstanding brokerage, and especially to Georgia and Bethany, who supported us from start to finish throughout this process. As first-time buyers, we entered this world with many doubts, fears, and very little knowledge of the property market. For us, this journey was not easy, but they never stepped away for a moment. They showed incredible kindness and genuine care, always being there to support us, guide us, and keep things moving forward with the same energy.They are an exceptionally organised, attentive, and lovely team. They took care of absolutely everything — from finding and negotiating the best options with lenders, to arranging each of the necessary insurance policies to protect our future. Their level of detail and structure gave us invaluable peace of mind. They explained every step clearly, kindly, and transparently, always ensuring we made the decisions that were right for us.Thanks to their dedication, we felt safe and supported at every stage of the journey, right through to completion day. We are incredibly grateful for their patience and professionalism. Without a doubt, we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of financial or property advice. We will certainly be working with them again in the future.Thank you very much for everything! More...

We had such a fantastic experience working with Georgia and Bethany while securing a mortgage for our first home. As first-time buyers, the whole process felt pretty daunting at the start, but they made everything so much clearer and far less stressful. No question ever felt like a silly one, and they were always quick to respond and happy to help.Georgia worked incredibly hard and genuinely had our best interests at heart. She made what could have been an overwhelming experience into something positive and exciting. We could not be more grateful for her help during the purchase of our first home. Georgia was so supportive throughout the whole process - always checking in, keeping us updated and going the extra mile to make sure we felt confident and reassured at every stage. Her calm, friendly and professional approach made a huge difference, especially during the more stressful moments.We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Georgia to anyone, especially other first time buyers.

Faultless experience. As first time buyers, with a very small deposit and frankly no idea how to buy a house, the Jack Gear Financial team made the process so clear and effortless. No question was too small or silly, and the every member of the team really made us feel at ease. The personal relationship that we built with our advisor Alfie is absolutely the highlight and his tireless work really paid off with a great mortgage offer for us. We cannot recommend JG Financial enough, especially as first time buyers.Alfie has been exceptional throughout the the first time mortgage process. He worked tirelessly for us: from finding a suitable lender (our financial circumstances as a PhD stipend earner made it difficult to find a suitable lender), to ensuring our mortgage application was completed and submitted before rates rised he had our best interests throughout. We can't thank Alfie and the team enough for making this process as easy as possible and we look forward to working with the team more in the future with Life Insurance and investment support.

Our experience as first-time buyers with Jack Gear Financial has been beyond anything we could have wished for. Every employee we had the pleasure of speaking to was incredibly informative, quick to reply, and more than happy to explain everything at a pace that suited us. We expected the house-buying process to be confusing and felt we might be completely out of our depth, but Bethany, Georgia, and Helen tailored the experience perfectly so we never felt overwhelmed. They were always happy to answer any questions we had and took the time to make sure we fully understood each step.We will definitely be using Jack Gear Financial again in the future and will be recommending them to all of our friends and family.

We went with Jack Gear Financial as I had know Jack for many years and had seen how the business had successfully grown since he started his journey as a financial adviser. Knowing how thoughtful and diligent Jack was in all aspects of his life I felt confident that his business and the staff he employs would be exactly the same. It was a great experience with no issues or unexpected hiccups and Helen, our advisor, was so proactive. She even worked evenings and weekends to fit around our schedules and get stuff completed when needed. Helen is very knowledgable and made everything as first time buyers much clearer and easier. Highly recommended! More...

So I had jacks team to help me release equity from my mums house. Was not as it should be. Barry made lots of mistakes and ended up taking a lot longer than it should have. He told us the house had a tie. But was looking at the wrong papers. Cost is a few weeks to sort. Time was not an issue for them. . Equity release go else where. Mortgage advise was spot on. Tried to use local. Wish I had stayed using Bideford agents as before. More...
