Our experience with positive lending…
Our experience with positive lending was fabulous from start to completion we dealt with two people in the team Brad and Suzanne and I got to be honest and say that they were both so helpful explaining everything in clear detail and responding to any queries in super quick time all with a cheery positive disposition which made a very stressful time a lot less stressful. Thank you Brad and Suzanne for all your help your both a credit to your team I can’t highly recommend positive lending enough and they certainly live up to their name.
Absolutely pleased
I have been very pleased with the professionalism and support of both Alex Hamilton and Mark Shackleton. I owe them a debt of gratitude
Happy client
From the initial introduction to the completion of my facility I have been extremely impressed by the efficiency of all involved at Positive Lending. They made very certain that I was very well informed about all aspects of the loan. I would have no reservations about recommending their services.
When expertise and knowledge is needed....
We were treated with respect by both Alex Hamilton and Mark Shackle at Positive Lending and kept updated and well informed by both during our dealings with the company.
All hurdles we came across by 'others parties' involved in the transaction were expertly dealt with by both Alex and Mark to make the dealing run as smoothly as possible, going the extra mile when called for.
They went the "extra mile"09 for me
started to try and get equity release in September 20024. I approached f0ur brokers and each told me that my house was in a commercial area, and that no lender would consider my property. By the time I was in contact with Positive lending i had given up hope. but they made the miracle happen. They went the extra mile for me, and found me a lender. If there were 6 stars, they would have from me.
Great service and customer care.
We experience diligence, helpfulness, great customer care during a stressful time. Thank you

I found them to be more proactive and following up on the process.
Thank you James
I want to say a very, very huge thank you to James and Marie. I approached James when I was out of time to complete my purchase from an Auction. I had to convince James not to give up on me, and he did not. I got my bridging loan application approved and the funds within 3 days. From MJPP

Bridging Loan
Great service from David Hounsell on a tricky bridging loan case involving borrowing on a property in the UK to fund a purchase abroad.
Fantastic support from both Georgia and Keiran
Initial enquiry was discussed over the phone. Solutions were then provided that day so that I could share these with my client. The team then arranged an appointment directly with the client and a recommendation was made.
The transaction completed 4 weeks later and my client was very happy with the outcome which saved him a significant amount of money each month
excellent service
We will definitely be using this service again in the future. Matthew Vincent really helped us out on our tight timeline project and made it all happen. 5 stars

Georgia was incredibly helpful and professional throughout the process. Excellent service. I would highly recommend working with Positive lending!
Positive Lending It does "What is says on the tin'!!
Positive Lending have enabled me to have a 2nd mortgage to carry out repairs to my property.
Throughout the whole process Gillian and Declan were extremely supportive with emails and phone calls to ensure that the quite complicated procedure went without a hitch.
If I ever need any further finance, they will be my first stop. I will also be recommending them to any family friend or colleague who need to arrange finance.
Really impressed with the support and…
Really impressed with the support and advice given by the team. Very professional and supportive. Thanks to Kieran, Suzanne and George
Excellent service which we can't recommend highly enough!
The service we received from Positive Lending was exemplary! Matt Vincent was professional, friendly, supportive and efficient throughout the whole complex process. Ours was a challenging case and Matt consistently went above and beyond to fight our corner whilst keeping us informed by email or phone at every step. He helped to push the process through quickly in the knowledge that a house purchase was at stake, even going so far as chasing solicitors and calmly reassuring our impatient agent.
I couldn’t rate Matt, or Positive Lending, more highly and will contact them again without hesitation if required in the future. Excellent work, with our sincere thanks.
We’re getting our dream home ❤️
Both Alysha and Gillian were amazing. Our application process was so easy and they really took so much stress away. Our funds are for an entire house renovation on our new property and they really helped an extremely stressful time become just that bit easier and take a lot of work away from us. Thank you both! We get our dream home because of you ❤️
