strong on detail

Fae and Elly were thorough and strong on detail when it came to scrutinising my mortgage application.They anticipated any questions or queries the mortgage company would have and therefore the application went through successfully. Reviewed on: 28th January 2026

Really helpful and responsive service.

5
Really helpful and responsive service. Beth and Callum were great in arranging our mortgage, explained our options really clearly and were so helpful when we had queries- always responding really quickly. Would definitely recommend this service. Reviewed on: 28th January 2026

Absolutely excellent!

5
As a first time buyer, I’d already spoken with another mortgage broker who basically didn’t want to know me once he’d heard my income. Beth and Callum at Tembo however were helpful and informative, and I really felt like they knew their stuff and they were able to get me a very nice mortgage - something the previous broker had told me wouldn’t be possible! I’ve got nothing but good things to say, and have already been recommending Tembo for both their LISA and their broker service. Reviewed on: 28th January 2026

Highly recommend!

5
Highly recommend! As first time buyers, Rhys and Callum were fantastic — super responsive, explained everything clearly throughout the process, and made everything feel easy. We had our mortgage approved very quickly thanks to their prompt action and hard work. Couldn’t be happier or speak highly enough of their services. Reviewed on: 27th January 2026

We had an amazing experience with our mortgage advisors through Tembo. Both advisors (Glen Fulham & Callum Doherty) were incredibly helpful and generous with their time, especially Glen who we spoke to many times on the phone — they never made us feel rushed, and no question ever felt too small or silly. As first-time buyers, the process felt daunting at first, but they truly reassured us every step of the way with clear explanations and genuine support. They were super efficient, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We felt completely looked after from start to finish and couldn’t be more grateful for their patience, professionalism, and kindness. We would highly recommend Tembo to anyone, especially first-time buyers looking for trustworthy and supportive mortgage advice. Reviewed on: 27th January 2026

Best mortgage broker for self employed/complex income

5
Tembo has been my mortgage broker for my first apartment purchase. Having gone through 3 other brokers in order to find the best deal, given my complex income situation as a self employed musician, the service I got from Tembo was quite incredible really. Kane was my broker and genuinely couldn't had done any more for me. He secured a mortgage for me that I never thought was possible - I was literally told by other brokers previously that such a deal was impossible in my circumstance. He went the extra mile in every aspect. Callum was my supervisor and was on hand and efficient with securing my mortgage and anything else I needed. If you're self employed, a first time buyer and need a broker, Tembo is absolutely the way to go. And a very fair price given the amount of work put in for my case. Highly recommended Reviewed on: 27th January 2026

Fantastic service!

5
Ben and Amy at Tembo were great at helping me with my first mortgage! Everything was clearly explained to me including how different mortgages and options would look going forwards allowing me to make an educated choice on the option that was best for me. They were always available to help and our conversations were held at a time that suited me! The whole process was made very easy. Reviewed on: 27th January 2026

Andy Shead and Callum Doherty have been brilliant in finding us a mortgage company that will accept us despite our advanced years. They have tirelessly checked on the progress of our application and kept us informed all along the way to the final offer. Many thanks guys. Reviewed on: 27th January 2026

Star quality service

5
As first time buyers, we were uncertain of process etc. However Kane and Callum were great. They both went through the process explaining us everything we need. It sometimes felt like 24/7 service, as both were getting back to you any time of the day. We got really good offer and are happy with everything Tembo did for us. Reviewed on: 27th January 2026
