Wow, wow, wow! TEMBO ARE THE BEST

Wow, wow, wow!! What an amazing bunch of people. Luke has been absolutely fantastic, any questions (there were ALOT) were answered without judgment and he was always so helpful. Throughout the whole journey he has kept us updated and made sure that everything has run as smooth as possible. I honestly can’t thank him enough for everything he has done for us. The start of our forever is thanks to Luke and Elly. Elly made sure to reach out to us immediately when it was required and was so warm and friendly. What a great experience.

Highly Recommended

As a Tembo ISA holder, decided to ask them about mortgages as advice was free. Initially decided the equity release would be the way to go, as we are both retired, so Matt referred us to Saga. However, after discussing options with them, we decided that interest free would be best, so back to Matt. He could not have been more helpful and his response times to emails was phenomenal. He found us a great deal and Elly took over when Matt went on paternity leave at Christmas. Elly was equally as good at answering our queries and keeping us informed with the application process and we now have a mortgage offer that suits our needs. Highly recommend Tembo’s excellent advice and no pressure approach. Reviewed on: 19th January 2026

Dedicated, smart advisor - fast and great service

I had a great experience with Tembo. Despite a complex situation (non-British national, just moved on a visa, less than 3 months in the country) my advisor Ashley Ellis was able to find a few products. That transaction fell through, but Ashley kept discretely in touch and almost a year later he was able to support me in finding a product for a leasehold with only 63 years left (when other advisor simply told me not to bother even trying). I have now received my offer and looking forward getting my first property! Great work from Ashley in listening to all my different ideas, peculiar situation, and advising with the best strategy. Hopefully this is just the first of many. A mention also to Christianna Amos who supported with the admin steps after the advice. Less than a week from application to offer is impressive.

Thankful First Time Buyers!

As first time buyers me and my partner had no idea where to start with buying a house. Luckily through my partners work we were linked with Tembo Money to get some advice. From our first enquiry we had an appointment within a week and a follow up within days. Brad was incredibly helpful; he was knowledgeable and able to explain clearly what we needed to do and how to do it. He was quick and super efficient as well as having great communication. Brad was also lovely and friendly and put us at ease. As we progressed we moved over to Emma to help with our application. Emma was wonderful, she introduced herself straight away and updated us at each step of the process. Emma had our application done quickly and we received a mortgage offer in days. Kindly Emma then detailed our next steps which has helped us keep moving forward. Thank you Tembo for your great advice and wonderful customer service. Reviewed on: 16th January 2026
