Testimonials

Great service from Simon and his team. When I needed a helping hand through it all they were more than happy to oblige.
Very speedy as well. You won’t be waiting on them..
Will use again.

I’ve used Simon at Searchlight finance for the last few years and his knowledge and support in getting finance for various types of deals involving personal purchases, company purchases and JV purchases has been brilliant. I would recommend his company and services to anyone looking for an exceptional service

I have had plenty of experience with property finance brokers over the years, but Simon from Searchlight Finance stands out for me.

He is now my ‘go-to’ mortgage broker for my own property investments and also a top referral from me for people within my network and community too.

What makes him stand out is his obvious experience level, his senior contacts within the industry and crucially, his consultative and business like approach in how he interacts with his clients.

He is an essential part of my extended team, as he cuts through a lot of ‘white noise’ and equally guides me into the most appropriate financing solutions that would suit me and my particular circumstances.

I am happy to recommend him to anyone looking for a rock-solid partner for their property financing needs.

Great service
I have used Simon a few times and I have always found him very thorough and he is always happy to talk you through any questions you may have. I would happily recommend him.

Very fast and efficient service. Application process is well structured via an online portal. Simon is a very experienced property handler and his personal advices and recommendations are great to succeed in the buy to let market.

I have used Searchlight Finance to source Buy to Let mortgages for five property purchases and I will continue to use their excellent services in the future.
Simon was extremely clear and helpful, remaining in contact through each step of the process to help keep things moving.
Most invaluably, Simon was also able to use his relationships with the Lender to work around some potential issues – thanks to his structured thinking and general effectiveness everything went to plan.

Simon is extremely knowledgeable of the whole of the market, and has a very clear idea of which lenders are suitable for which kinds of properties. This advice is priceless to me as it means that I can look at deals and have a good idea in advance of whether finance will be obtainable and at what cost. It also means less time wasted applying to lenders who will not be interested.

I have taken out three mortgages so far, the first one of which was a real problem property, that two separate brokers were unable to find finance for, but Simon was able to. The other two mortgages were for HMOs, which by their nature require a broker with a deep knowledge of the mortgage and property markets. I will definitely use Searchlight Finance in the future.

I have worked with Simon Allen of Searchlight Finance Ltd for many years now and I can truly say this guy is Exceptional.

So on the last venture, I delayed completion of a Loan until two days before the deadline and you’ve guessed it there was a query from the underwriters. I heard about this from my solicitor at 4.55pm. I wrote to Simon at around 6.30pm and by the morning the problem was fixed.

I haven’t seen this level of service in anyone in years. Have you?
