An excellent service and pure professionalism

An excellent service and pure professionalism from Joe. Our interactions lasted many months but his dedication and persistence was pivotal, ultimately leading to us successfully obtaining the cover we needed. A first class job, would highly recommend.

Best in the business

We have had the pleasure of using L&S FS for the last 10 years, agreeing a great many mortgages at fantastic rates, plus insurance products tailored to us as life changes. Dave and all of the team (Ben, Peter, Joe) are always first class and we highly recommended.

Can't recommend Ben and his team highly…

Can't recommend Ben and his team highly enough. Fast turnaround time, comprehensive information, and willing to go the extra mile to get some things over the line in time to meet urgent deadlines. Would absolutely recommmend Linay & Shipp to anyone looking for mortgage advice

Navigated the complex mortgage process…

Navigated the complex mortgage process to help us get a mortgage. It took over 7 months of back and forth with the bank but they stuck through it.

Extremely response, quick turn around and helpful with their insights. Highly recommend.

I cannot stop recommending David

I cannot stop recommending David from Linay & Shipp. He made getting my first mortgage the easiest part of the entire process of buying my flat. He is incredibly responsive, understanding, and informative. Tick, tick, tick. Have recommended him to all my friends also buying and they had the exact same experience!

Excellent service as ever over the past 10 plus years...

We have been a client of Linay & Shipp for over 10 years and are always very well looked after. The product knowledge and advice is all ways of an excellent standard. Zoe has helped with our remortgages during this time and I can not recommend her services more, always very good at making sure the products on offer are right for you and explains everything in a clear and concise way. Joe helped us for the first time this year to re-access our life insurance products, again he provided a great and knowledgeable service helping us find the right product for us. Highly recommend!

Great mortgage and life assurance advice

We have used Dave for our mortgage advice for a number of years and he has always provided a great service, equally professional and personable and always helping us to get the best result possible.

We have also recently used Joe for life assurance advice and again, a great service provided, going out of his way to help us achieve the result we wanted.

All in all, i can't recommend Linay & Shipp enough.

Expert, professional and friendly service

Received fantastic service from David with advice for a mortgage transfer. Dave was incredibly professional and responsive in all communications and he took the time to really understand my situation and what was important to me. He found me a great deal and the process to apply and secure it was seamless. I would definitely recommend to family and friends, and I’ll be going back to Dave soon for some advice on my insurance cover! Thank you

Outstanding start to finish!

Ben (in terms of mortgages) and Joe (in terms of insurance) have been nothing but outstanding during quite a hard process due to Land Registry, old solicitors not doing what they were meant to and Doctors being obstructive.
They were always around to help, to talk things through and push the cases forward where they could.
Would use them and will use them again in the future.
Thank you so much both for your patience and humour over the last 6/7 months

Excellent team and great advice provided.

Amazing service provided by very friendly, welcoming, and intelligent people. We used Linay and Shipp FS for our remortgage, new mortgage with a house move, and new life and income protection products. Dave Robins was excellent, always available to discuss options, and happy to explain when we didn't understand or wanted to confirm something. I felt the advice was given genuinely with our best interests in mind and there was never any pressure to do or go with anything we did not want to. Similarly, Joe Gardiner who helped us with our insurance products was very helpful, understanding, and always checked we were comfortable with his recommendations while providing advice when needed.

An excellent firm and I would definitely recommend and use them again.

Incredibly helpful service for first-time buyers

David Robbins has been such an asset on our journey to buy our first family home.
He guided us through two years of house hunting, job changes, multiple offers and mortgage applications, rapidly rising rates and plenty of uncertainty. He was always courteous and patient with our inexperienced questions and really helped us weigh up all the options when finding the right mortgage provider. Simona Andrejevaite on Dave’s team was also incredibly helpful in getting revised mortgage offers processed rapidly. We can’t thank them enough for their help in finally getting to this point.

Great deals and outstanding service

We have used Linay and Shipp for years and have always had outstanding service. As well as access to great deals from the mortgage market, they also make sure that things go through on time and as they should. Highly recommended.
