“In early July 2022, I spoke to Mr Robin Franke from McCreath Financial Partners in Brighton, East Sussex, about my financial situation and my options in relation to buying my first property. Robin replied to my initial consultation request within 24 hours. When we spoke on the phone, he took the time to patiently answer all my questions in detail and length, and explained all the risks and opportunities I’d face if I bought the specific property I was looking at at the time. As a novice to buying property (or making any kind of big financial investment), I felt very well looked after by Robin. He made sure he made me aware of all the additional questions I would have to ask the seller or any other party who I will have to deal with in the course of the purchase. He also laid down in detail all potential additional costs I have to take into account before making a decision. I extremely satisfied with Robin’s service and will definitely contact him again in the near future to discuss the further steps require for my big investment. I highly recommend Robin and I look forward to continue to work with him.”

“I wanted to help my daughter buy her first home.
James explained my options, clearly and comprehensively - as he also did for my daughter.
Robin then swiftly worked to realise each of our options, with diligence - and most importantly for me - patience!

I have unreserved trust in James and Robin and all the contact I have had with McCreath Financial Partners.”

Whereas many financial advisors will turn round and tell you why you can’t do something, James is always positive, and always finds a way to get things done.”

“My Wife Gill and myself have been with McCreath Financial Partners for several years, since he sorted out our pensions. Following our retirement, James has done his best to ensure that our investments more or less keep pace with our monthly pension payments. Over the years we are delighted that our capital has hardly dropped.

We were pleasantly surprised by the service. In addition to giving us clear and precise advice and answers, James (with the information we have provided him) has given us his time by explaining the different scenarios that can be expected.

Highly responsive, he was able to answer exactly to our concerns and now we have all the cards in hand to put all the chances on our side when an offer comes our way.

Reassured of his professionalism, we are looking forward to start this journey with him.”

I was lost as lost can be in difficult remortgaging issues. It took seven months to work it out and Robin was here for me step by step to ensure the process was completed.
Many many many thanks”

“Have been using McCreath Financial Partners for a good few years now. My once underperforming pension is now thriving thanks to sound investment advice despite any impact due to COVID-19.
My original mortgage application needed some extra work behind the scenes and this was handled expertly and to schedule to allow me to complete on time. Such a relief to know I was in good hands.
I’m now up for a financial review and remortgage, and once again it’s all being handled perfectly and with plenty of time to make any amendments if I so wish. Priceless service.”

“Our experience with MF Partners has been exceptional.

“I approached McCreath Financial for help brokering a mortgage after I was disappointed by a previous provider who was unresponsive and impossible to contact. MFP were the exact opposite, attentive, responsive, helpful and friendly. Robin and James were amazing and helped me through the whole process, securing me a great mortgage and were very helpful throughout.
The estate agent might recommend a mortgage broker, as ours did, but don’t assume that will make things easier. MFP were so much better, and I definitely recommend them.”

“James and Robin have been a fantastic boost to our mortgage preparation and application this year, really going that extra mile to find a mortgage that suited us. It constantly amazed us how they left no stone unturned, even when it was looking very unlikely. Me and my wife are both self-employed so it hasn’t been an easy job for them by any stretch - and in a year of a global pandemic. Thanks so much!”

“James offered clear and non-jargonised options and suggestions when I was seeking to effectively tax plan and manage my future retirement finances after I received a small inheritance.
The options James suggested covered everything from maximising savings, pension security, inheritance tax planning and ways of helping support my daughters to obtain mortgages - comprehensively and coherently. - Thank you”

“I can not thank Robin enough for his exceptional hardwork and grit determination to get us what we needed to pursue our dream. Even when it was declined he didn’t accept it and went over and above to eventually get us more than we thought we would, at a time when borrowing is hard. Thank you so so much Robin for never giving up, when we nearly did. I would 1000% tell anyone to call McCreath Financial Partners for their professionalism, friendliness and positivity.”

Would definitely work with them again.”

“Having initially used a larger, online mortgage broker that we found to be unhelpful, my partner and I decided to approach James, having been pleased with his level of service years ago. James & Robin were a breath of fresh air in helping us buy our first home and finding lenders that suited us. James took the time to understand our circumstance and gave us great advice and support, ultimately guiding us to our mortgage offer.

Would certainly use again and have already recommended to friends.”

“I’ve used MFP through my whole mortgage process and, thanks to Robin and James, have found the best mortgage and property possible than I ever could find without an advisor. Advice and feedback was clear and consistent, and I was made aware of considerations I would not have discovered alone. The team were also excellent at recommending help for other services, such as the Solicitors. Thank you both for giving me the confidence to get through my first housing purchase!”

“For nearly 18 months James McCreath has been working with me trying to sort out a hybrid pension, part defined benefits and part defined contribution, with a large pensions administrator. The company was unable to manage bringing two schemes together, although they had created the policy structure. This pension is now paying out just over a year late. I am very grateful for James’ support and delighted to say I ended up with the pension I deserve.”

Sorry James, but when dealing with my money that’s exactly what I want from my financial adviser.”

“Working with James has been a complete dream: incredibly responsive, personable, diligent and knowledgeable. He picked up my case whilst away on holiday and ensured I was ready to make an offer on my chosen property. For anyone that runs a SME applying for a personal mortgage can be very complicated, James took away all of this stress and worked with my accountant to get me a 5yr fixed mortgage that was better suited and at a much cheaper rate than anything I could find. James provided highly detailed documentation at every point and was always around to explain anything I didn’t fully understand. James recommended a local solicitor that has worked just as hard and helped streamline an otherwise complicated sale process. I would highly recommend James McCreath.”

“Always get the best deal accessible that meets our needs.”

“I would recommend this company.”

“I’ve seen James for financial advice several times over the last few years, primarily around my mortgage as well as changes to my pension scheme. James has been an incredible help in navigating what is quite a maze of information to someone who isn’t aware of different types of deals etc. I was in a difficult position being a first time buyer but James was able to guide me to the right deal for me, getting me a much better rate than I had found myself and securing acceptance to the first one I applied for. He also provided solid recommendations for solicitors which proved useful when I had problems a year after completion that a regular conveyancer would likely not have been able to deal with. When my remortgage was due James was able to help me find another excellent deal as well as releasing some of the capital I had acquired in my home, without increasing my term or payments. To say I was happy with this would be an understatement. I used James again when my pension scheme underwent changes at work, and he was able to review and provide guidance as to how best to configure my payments to maximise my pension benefits over time without causing problems today. Overall, very happy with the service that James has provided and hope to use him again when I start looking at regular investments in the near future.”
