Searchlight Finance - the best of the best!

I can’t recommend Searchlight Finance enough. Simon is the most knowledgeable person I’ve met when it comes to property finance. I’ve worked with many people and nobody else comes close. His breadth and depth of experience are second to none and his honest approach has certainly saved me some money over the years!

My 'go-to' property finance broker

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 businesslike 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.

Buy-to-Let purchase through Limited Company

I heard about Simon through listening to The Property Hub podcast, where he discussed in depth the in's and out's of mortgages in relation to investment purchases. I was very impressed with his knowledge so contacted Searchlight finance to assist in the purchase of my first buy-to-let.

Simon guided me through the process, taking lots of time, explaining everything I needed to know in detail and helping me decide the right options and product. Really helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend :)
