Funding Friends Ltd Avis 57

Excellent in every way

Damian delivers !

10/10

Highly recommended !

I highly recommend Chris Parnell from Funding Friends. Quite frankly, we needed a miracle and Chris delivered!
During our initial conversation, I explained the background to our new development project, our overall financial position, and our need to raise funds against our existing property investments. Chris quickly understood our situation and proposed a solution that, at the time, I didn’t even realise was an option.
He was instrumental in securing the finance, skilfully coordinating the required surveys and working closely with the solicitor and the bank to ensure all conditions were met quickly.
Chris really knows his stuff. His communication was prompt throughout, and he was patient and clear in explaining the process from start to finish. Without Chris’s expertise, the process would not have moved forward or completed on time. Excellent service, definitely 5 stars!

We've now used Funding Friends multiple times and found their combined experience matters when getting the right finance for our businesses needs.

Their approach is straightforward & effective and its clear they go out their way to arrange facilities that are the right fit with future options always in mind.

They helped manage the process from start to finish, making sure all parties were working towards getting things over the line with as little fuss as possible.

Always a pleasure to deal with and would recommend them highly to anyone looking at business funding options.

Damian had a great understanding of all the factors involved with completing a complex new build and went above and beyond helping achieve building completion, satisfying the banks requirements, from planning conditions sign off to finalising a practical completion certificate.
Damian facilitated the smooth supply of funds to build our project then provide us with a mortgage upon completion.
Damian was clear on the requirements from us and fully understood the demands, and challenges we faced.
I would and have recommended this service to my industry peers.

From a professional perspective, Damian McGann of Funding Friends was great to work with. Damian's service was first class. He worked hard to remove any barriers to rapid progress and the transaction was completed smoothly and to the complete satisfaction of the client.

We worked with Nathan Foster on a complex refinancing deal. He worked tirelessly to deliver a solution, staying positive despite all the bumps in the road, and we ultimately achieved a very successful outcome. I would happily recommend Nathan and Funding Friends to others.

Funding Friends made the whole process stress-free from start to finish. Lindsey was great. Clear communication, quick turnaround, and a genuine sense that they care about their customers. Everything was explained in plain English, with no hidden surprises. We felt supported the entire way, and the service was far better than I’ve had with other finance companies. Absolutely deserving of 5 stars – highly recommended!

Andrew Robertson was a source of constant support in this process. Always willing to help and advise, he was at the end of a call or email for what seemed 24/7 during this our funding application. Knowledgeable, diligent and thoughtful, he helped facilitate achieving our funding goals and helped us persevere through some tougher challenges. I would highly recommend him and Funding Friends.

Great company to deal with , just excellent in every way

Damian is incredibly helpful and a real pro , what he doesn't know , ain't worth knowing

Highly recommenced !!!

Rob Stockwell was recommended to me by my partners work colleague to help source funding towards a property purchase which was required for my business start up venture.
Having searched endlessly online and been contacted by multiple people wasting hours of my time to lead to dead ends! I can without doubt say the resulting purchase would not have happened without him! Not only did he source the commercial mortgage for me, he acted like a friend, drove me along to get things done where necessary, put me in touch with his contacts needed to help with other areas and chased relentlessly on my behalf! Because of Rob and Funding Friends it's now in my hands to hopefully make a success of things. I would certainly use them again if I ever need to and definitely would recommended to others.

Peter Egan has been of tremdous service and help to me, I cannot recommend him highly enough, every time I have a query he's completely solves any concerns, suffice to say that I really really recommend him indeed !

Rob made the whole process simple and effortless - he maintained regular contact and linked with the provider to move things along

Damian was very hands on and assisted in the process from start to finish. He managed the relationship and onboarding process to a high degree of professionalism.

Nathan Foster was my Best Friend for 2024! Great guy, knows the industry and its multiple players. An excellent, can-do attitude with attention to detail. It's not a 9-5 job for him, it seemed to start at 7 a.m. and finish when even I had signed off for the day. Highly recommend Nathan Foster and the whole Funding Friends team.

Lisa Walls-Hester was amazing. Really supportive and clear, and helped a lot to keep everything moving along. Her credible relationships with lenders and knowledge really helped us to find the right lender to work with.

Nathan Foster was absolutely brilliant and without him we would not have achieved purchasing our property and the business. A highly knowledgeable professional with superb communicational skills, a fantastic ambassador for the brand. 5 stars all the way Had excellent service from the first initial call. Actually when Nathan called us we were almost about to finalise another broker with half minded because we had no other option. His call came out of the blue rescuing us from confusion and didn’t look back since then. Amazed with his positive energy and cheerful conversations right from the beginning until we succeed in our purchase. He quickly secured a mortgage for our situation which other brokers couldn’t get near the rate and fees we managed to secure. In the world of brokers who never share their mobile number and only let you to reach on the office line, Nathan shared his mobile number from the initial call and was ALWAYS there when we got a question. Nothing was too much trouble he was in constant contact. Our situation and purchase was let down by most of the broker companies and senior firms leaving us with no options for about 2 months but Nathan did it with all possible ways he could and completing our purchase with no issues is indeed his big achievement. For anyone reading this I highly recommend speaking to Nathan before you finalise a deal with anyone else. He make things happen. there was nothing he would not do to assist us. Towards the end of the purchase we were short of funds and Nathan did all he could to up the mortgage money from the lender, so grateful to him forever. He took so much stress off of our shoulders in getting this deal on the table and seeing it through to the end. He is always available, always helpful and always in a good mood. He has a can-do attitude to his work and the most capable and impressive mortgage brokers we have ever worked with.

It’s a shame that we couldn’t leave this review since last 4 months due to whirlwind of work that unfolded after purchase, sorry and thank you very much Nathan. All the best for your career.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.
I am pleased that my transaction been completed, after a long and tiring process. Andrew helped me to find a suitable lender from his data base, got the funding approved and guided me on each and every step of the transaction very professionally. His professional and positive approach kept me motivated and focused all the time. I am very satisfied and will certainly recommend his services to my contacts.

Damian , was very professional and gave 100% effort to get our finance agreed and finalised in the tie period
we had set him , we would definitely use funding friends again .

Our client was looking to take a loan with his existing bank to fund a property purchase. The rate was high and the LTV was low. Funding Friends came up with a loan for the full amount the client needed on better terms.

Pleasure to work with Mike Gascoigne on this deal for Handelsbanken. Great communication throughout the process, always available to help answer any queries, and due to his vast experience, helped significantly with managing client expectations when required. Thanks again Mike look forward to working with you in the future!
