We make mortgages to order
Testimonials
Here's what our clients think of our mortgage service
Neil makes the whole process of getting a mortgage and buying a house so much simpler than it is. After successfully helping us purchase our first home 7 years ago, we approached Neil earlier this year to find out what we would be able to borrow in order to move house. Nothing was too much trouble and he comprehensively searched for the best deal for us. He was incredibly efficient and knowledgeable. Neil liaised with the bank regularly to update us on progress and even chased matters up on his week off. We are now happily settled into our new home and would certainly recommend Neil to anyone considering getting a mortgage.
Tim & Claire
We decided to review our mortgage arrangement following an introduction to Neil Stanford. The review Neil undertook was extremely thorough and highlighted areas for improvement. The whole review process was straightforward, made easy by Neil’s depth of knowledge and understanding of the mortgage marketplace. Knowing Neil is managing all aspects of our mortgage protections insurance matters now provides us with a high level of reassurance and peace of mind that we have not previously experienced. We are pleased to recommend Neil Stanford at Gower Financial Services.
Tony & Sandra
Having been aware of Gower’s Mortgage services I contacted Neil as I did not want to have to contact all providers individually to find out the best rates. Neil made his recommendation and then did all the liaising with the bank and kept me informed of the process until the Court date. For a very reasonable fee I would highly recommend Neil at Gower Financial Services - Thanks Neil

Neil is friendly, knowledgeable and looks after his clients best interests. Thanks Neil. We will ensure we recommend Neil as part of Gower for mortgages services.
Colette & Jason
As first time buyers, we were a bit overwhelmed with everything concerning buying a property - Neil helped us to understand everything from mortgages to finances to different insurance covers. Neil was amazing and supportive throughout the buying process, and was there to answer all our questions - nothing was ever too much trouble and we were never made to feel like an inconvenience. We will definitely use Neil for any future property purchases and we cannot thank him enough.
Emily & Ben
My partner and I have recently bought our first home. Neil helped us understand mortgages, advised us on our finances, and also was there for us when we were unsure during the Covid-19 Lockdown which eased what could have been a very stressful time for us. Neil was brilliant throughout the whole house buying process, and was there to answer all our questions. We wouldn't go to anyone else and certainly will be back for our next property purchase, we recommend him to anyone who's looking to buy a property!
Jake & Louise
Neil assisted me in securing a buy-to-let and residential mortgage. Even with the uncertainty and challenges during the Covid-19 lockdown Neil kept me fully up to date and his knowledge of the local lending market is fantastic. He certainly helped to make the process less stressful and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a mortgage.
Rachel
Gower Financial Services have looked after my pension fund for many years without any problems, so I had no hesitation to ask for advice when it came to buying a property and looking for a mortgage. We met Neil for a general discussion on our requirements and we very quickly found he was very knowledgeable with the current market bank rates and the procedure involved when buying a property. We hadn’t had a mortgage for a while so needed guidance with not only the banks, but the process of buying the property which involved the advocates and putting in place life insurance, which Neil dealt with very smoothly. What made it even more difficult to manage was that most of this was done during the Covid-19 lockdown, but Neil kept us informed by email and documents were posted back and forth. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gower and particularly Neil for his patience and professionalism when needing a mortgage.
Gary & Wendy
Neil has been our mortgage adviser for a number of years, having assisted with the purchase of our first home and more recently our second. Neil has made the whole process stress free, he is knowledgable, approachable and always on hand to answer any queries. We cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a mortgage, thanks so much again Neil!
Andy & Nat
Neil at Gower was recommended to me by a friend who had used him to obtain a mortgage and had found him very professional and helpful. I completely agree. I went to see Neil to find out what position I’d need to be in to obtain a mortgage and next thing I know, I’ve got one! The process was very smooth, Neil talked me through everything, and even arranged my mortgage protection. I would definitely recommend Neil and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.

A family member recommended Neil to us and he has been nothing but great. We were always kept up to date and well informed with the progress of our mortgage and Neil was always available to answer any queries we had. Would highly recommend Neil to any of our friends and family.

Neil has been our mortgage manager for the past 8 years. With the 2 house purchases that we have made during this time, plus a change in mortgage provider, Neil's guidance and support has been exceptional. He is incredibly knowledgeable, explaining all parts of the process thoroughly and clearly. We would highly recommend using Neil's expertise for a stress-free property purchase! Thanks Neil!

Mr & Mrs Wadley
We have come to Neil/Gower on two occasions when purchasing properties and their service has been nothing short of excellent. Always ready and willing to answer any questions regarding the process. Even after completion on purchases, we are kept up to date with any changes that are required on any policies dealt with through them. We do and would highly recommend the team to anybody needing their services!
Mr M & Mrs J Bichard
Neil at Gower arranged a mortgage for me when my personal circumstances at the time meant I wasn’t even sure I’d be able to get one. He was extremely patient and understanding and negotiated with the bank on my behalf to secure a mortgage which is both affordable and suited to my needs. I would definitely recommend Gower to anyone looking for financial and/or mortgage advice.
LS
I would wholeheartedly recommend Gower Financial and Neil Stanford in particular to anybody seeking a mortgage solution. Acting in an advisory capacity and facilitator in all financial matters using Neil resulted in the delivery of my re-mortgage on my property. Once engaged with Gower I was expertly lead through the processes and provided with all the information I needed so as to respond and provide in return the necessary input of information back to Neil for him to do his work. Neil brokered our deal totally successfully - whereas I was unable to manage the matter directly with banks arriving at ‘dead-ends’ and frankly going ‘nowhere’. Big thanks to Neil.
M Frampton
