Poor value for money

The charge is ridiculous and the app is still broken.

    Would 10/10 recommend to a friend!

As someone who knew nothing about mortgages or buying a property, the whole ordeal seemed very daunting however when I met Ruth at the Tembo stand at the London Home Show, she instantly put my mind at ease, answered all my silly questions and broke everything down for me so I could understand exactly what was going on. She responded to my e-mails promptly and never made me feel like I was asking for too much of her time when I asked for last minute calls or advice. I honestly could not have asked for a better mortgage adviser in Ruth. She was a beacon of knowledge, support and laughter throughout the whole thing and made the start of my house buying journey as stress free as possible. I have already recommended Tembo to all my NHS friends as Ruth and the team took such wonderful care of me. Read more Read less

Helena, Abbey, Lauren and Georgina have all been very helpful and communicative throughout the whole process. We encountered a small error in the application but this was sorted promptly once identified. We were given regular updates throughout the process and the team were always thorough and clear when explaining the process. We are very pleased to have received a mortgage offer that works perfectly for our situation and very grateful for the team at Tembo for their assistance in facilitating this! Read more Read less

Originally, I was hesitant about using a mortgage broker. However, Georgie and Abbey from Tambo completely changed my mind. They not only found me a significantly cheaper deal than the one I was initially considering at the bank, but their rate check also saved me an additional 0.05% (5 basis points). Their guidance on product fees was invaluable, and their customer service was absolutely outstanding. Just the level of support they provided compared to the bank made it entirely worthwhile.

Myself and partner both had LISA's with Nude, who were recently acquired by Tembo. From start to finish the service in getting a mortgage offer has been supportive, highly communicative and smooth sailing. Jack & Rebecca were timely and always generous with time and patience whilst we asked a long list of questions as we learn't more about the home buying process. Jack even offered to take a look through property listing for us to help identify any risk areas we may not have spotted ourself such as lease lengths etc. Read more Read less

Two unexperienced first time buyers lost in the sea of confusion rescued by Dom and Chelsea!
