We started looking for a property and found Squirrel via online search, made contact and in less than 2months we have bought our first home. The team is very supportive and guide you through all aspects of buying your home. Definitely recommend using Squirrel mortgages for all your home buying needs.

The overall experience with Squirrel has been simply fantastic!
Right from the get go of our online enquiry, there was a very quick response from Jessie from client services and leading us to mortgage advisor Alfonso Jaques who walked us through every step of the loan application process till approval. Alfonso has been absolutely professional, friendly, communicative, always approachable with quick responses, guiding us with experienced knowledge & wisdom and our customer experience has been quite pleasant, even though realistically speaking, the loan approval process isn't very easy for such huge amounts or stakes involved for a housing loan.

Our first time in dealing with Squirrel we initially found we needed guidance through some of the steps. Once we had provided the required information the rest flowed. Quick easy steps to complete & sign all the documents made things progress smoothly. Thank you to the Squirrel Team for your patience help & guidance helping us to achieve our goals.

Faye Foster was looking after me. She was very reliable and efficient in giving me the right information and advice. She did a terrific job in helping my partner and I get our first home, would definitely recommend squirrel and even more would recommend Faye Foster to friends who are looking for reliable help in the future. Thank you to Faye for all her hard work and thanks fo squirrel for the helping hand. Much appreciated!!

We had a great advisor Tim Martin who was easy to contact, friendly and willing to help. We are really glad he was able to assist us with our loan and would happily recommend him to anyone in need.
My only feedback is that I wish the loan was pre-approved like a regular bank loan.

Overall great and quick service!

The only issue I had was that the loan documents ended up in the span folder with only 24 hours to be signed. I was not expecting this documents and did not find them in time. I though emails were already coming in fine and the sender to be recognized as 'safe'.

Perhaps giving clients a clear heads up that they can expect this quick expiring documents to be sent soon and to check their junk box frequently would help resolving this issue.

Apart from this small issue, I am overall very satisfied so far!
Thanks!

The online system could do with some tweaks. We are home owners but do not live in our home, so whilst we can get a homeowner's loan there is a question asking if we own the home we live in, which if we answer correctly prevents us going further. Also if you do have to switch to a different loan type none of the info you've given so far is taken over, you have to start again. Once you finished it tells you you have logged in from a different computer, even though this is the only time you have logged in, this made me think someone else must have hacked the system and logged in first, so that message could be changed.

I found squirrel to be excellent to deal with on all levels, especially communication. Squirrel took the time to understand my finances fully and made the right decision.
Banks could learn a thing or two from squirrel.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?

Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.

Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.

As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:

Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.

Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.

So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
