Review of the Tembo Money, Mortgage Broker:

They helped us get a bigger mortgage!

5
They helped us get a bigger mortgage than any other broker. They explained everything and kept us up to date throughout the process. Reviewed on: 15th March 2025

Dynamic Duo!

5
I reached out to Tembo based on their 5 star Trust Pilot reviews online and they did not disappoint. Every review online about Ruth and Jess they completed lived up to at every stage of the process. From my first initial appointment with Ruth I had everything explained to me in so much detail, and then I was passed to Jess who never let a day pass without an update. They were what I would call a “dynamic duo!” Reviewed on: 21st April 2025

Mortgage offer in 24 hours.

Mortgage offer in 24 hours. What more do I need to say? Excellent service. Special shout out to my broker Ruth Russell and case manager Jess Eley for making it happen. Reviewed on: 21st April 2025

Ruth and Jess are superstars!

5
Ruth and Jess are superstars! My mortgage process was as smooth and as simple as you could wish for, something I didn’t expect when approaching a broker online but I was completely blown away, they exceeded all expectations. Reviewed on: 21st April 2025

Lucy and Chelsea- brilliant advisors!

5
I have had a brilliant experience with Lucy and Chelsea from Tembo money in arranging a mortgage for our first home. Lucy was able to not only recommend a brilliant mortgage offer, but also helped me pick a plan to suit our needs alongside helping me understand how a mortgage works! Nothing was too small to Lucy and Chelsea, they always answered my queries straight away and have communicated any news really quickly! Following Lucy securing us an offer that suited our needs best, Chelsea then supported us with the ongoing application, updating us every few days and secured the official offer within a week! I cannot thank them enough from first time buyers with no clue where to start they have made the process so much easier! Also the fee being free for myself as an NHS worker is such a lovely gesture!!

Remortgage

5
Our Broker Tara Ghose was excellent and led us to an acceptable rate during our first proper consultation. Following this our liaison through Elly Bradshaw was always prompt, efficient and carried out in a very professional and friendly manner. Having a rate review after the acceptance of our original offer is an added bonus. Reviewed on: 19th April 2025

Tembo are amazing!!

5
From the very beginning our process with Tembo was brilliant, Jack Dolphin was excellent and finding a solution to our situation, it felt like he made the impossible possible after being let down by other mortgage brokers. He really considered our family’s situation and our future. We thank him so much for helping us to buy our first family home. Nearer the end of the process we worked with Chelsea Parkins, she was really professional, friendly and patient with us while getting all our paperwork together. I will recommend to all my friends that Tembo is who to go with for a mortgage broker! Thanks a lot! Reviewed on: 18th April 2025

Best Mortgage advisor for complex cases

5
Helena Shanks and Jodie Coxell were Superb with our remortgage. We had a complicated LTD company structure with multiple directors but they managed to get us a mortgage offer. I would recommend others to talk to them about any mortgage application. Reviewed on: 18th April 2025

Amazing service and communication all the way through.

5
We honestly can’t thank Jack (our mortgage broker) and Chelsea (our case manager) enough! After struggling to get an Agreement in Principle (AIP) with other brokers, Jack gave us practical and straightforward advice to improve our affordability. Thanks to their guidance, we finally got our AIP and things moved smoothly from there. Once we had our offer accepted, the whole process was completely stress-free. Chelsea handled everything behind the scenes and within a week, we had our mortgage offer! They made what could’ve been a really stressful time feel easy and manageable. Would highly recommend their service to anyone looking for genuine, knowledgeable support through the mortgage process! Reviewed on: 18th April 2025
