I have given strideup 5* because from the beginning the advisors we spoke with through phone or emails were always helpful and gave plenty of advice always quick with email reply’s and always follow through with phone calls to see how things are going you don’t get the feeling that you can’t ask for help and that’s impressed me the most thanks guys for your patience and time

My experience so far with stride up

It all started when I had a advise call with Ruqayyah, she was very helpful, she explained the whole process to me and made simple what I actually thought was hard. I was then booked in for the second advise call where I had a long chat with Monsur, he's very experienced in his field, broke the whole process down into pieces and assured me that I'm at the right place, also that with the shariah mortgage, I'm securing the future of the generation to come. The whole experience has bee good so far and I'm rest assured the rest of the process will be much easier In Sha Allah.

A heartfelt thank you to StrideUp and especially to Ruky!

StrideUp have been patient and supportive from the very beginning, always quick to respond to emails and genuinely helpful throughout. We’ve been liaising with Rukshanara, aka Ruky, since our DIP was completed, and she has been incredible to work with.

She’s knowledgeable, honest, and compassionate in her approach, Allahumma barik laha. You can truly tell she cares. Speaking with her never felt like dealing with a company; it felt like talking to a close family member who understands and wants the best for you. She was patient in explaining everything clearly, and her warmth made the whole process much easier.

StrideUp really have a community focused approach, and I can’t praise them enough for providing Shariah compliant home financing to families like ours.

A special Jazakillahu khayran to Ruky may Allah Azza wa Jal grant you and your family success in this world and the next. If I could, I’d personally invite Ruky and the team to our home (Maas biran will be ready! 😊).

Salma, we’re really glad to hear the support felt patient, responsive, and genuinely reassuring throughout, and that working with Rukshanara made the process feel clear and personal rather than transactional. It means a lot to know the experience reflected a community-focused approach and helped put you at ease at each step. We appreciate the kind words and duas shared for Ruky, ameen, and wish you all the very best as you continue your journey. (And we’ll happily take you up on that maas biran one day!)

Positive experience, excellent support

My experience with StrideUp has been very positive and I would be happy to recommend them. Monsur and the rest of the team have been fantastic in helping me. I found Monsur to be professional, knowledgeable and very helpful. He explained everything in an easy and straightforward manner, which made this whole process run smoothly. He always made sure to let me what was happening and found brilliant solutions to any problems I had. He made sure to share any further information promptly and I highly recommend his services.

We just had an excellent advisory call with StrideUp and their HPP Advisor, Monsur Hossain, and couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Monsur took the time to clearly explain every detail about the home purchase process, the StrideUp model, and what options would best suit our situation as first-time buyers. He was professional, patient, and genuinely interested in helping us understand each step — not just selling a product.

It was refreshing to speak with someone so knowledgeable and approachable. We came away from the call feeling much more confident about our next steps. Highly recommend StrideUp and Monsur Hossain to anyone looking for clear, trustworthy advice on buying their first home!

Alhamdulillah my completion took place today

Mohammed who helped me through the application was great. I feel relieved that my refinance has now taken place. Although the Islamic Mortgage is still very expensive and I hope more is done to make it more affordable, at least it's better than commercial.
