Very easy application, everything spelt out in advance of what is due and when. Starting with right amount and hopefully improve credit rating by keeping payments in schedule.

Very high broker fees!!

Fees are crazy high!! There are FAR cheaper brokers out there. Despite being ‘approved’ for the loan amount I wanted, when the hard search was done, I was told the loan-to-value was too high and I could only get about half of what I applied for, something which surely should’ve been known before the hard search???!! Blessing in disguise really as I’ve gone with another broker and I’m paying £2000 less in fees!

Thank you for taking the time to share your review, although we're sorry to hear about your recent experience.

We would be happy to feed this back to the lender, Capital One, but would need some extra information from you first. Would you be able to send us an email at contactus@ocean.co.uk, so that we can locate the account and raise this with them?

Again, we apologise for your experience.

Sincerely,
