2 Sept 2025Oh my goodness, Meral is the best! She arranged a 5 yr fixed rate mortgage for us in 2020 and here she is helping us to arrange another. We are ‘ageing’ borrowers and not very adept at all the digital expectations…but nothing is too much trouble for Meral. She tells you what she needs and perhaps where you might find it.! Then we send it to her and she sorts it all out. She is confident, competent and experienced, and it shows in her work. Thank heaven for Meral. I would trust her with my finances and I know she would give me the best advice. 5⭐️for Meral Kendrick.

23 Aug 2023What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for a financial adviser? I wanted to pay off my credit cards, do some home improvements and have some money to enjoy my retirement. How has Meral helped you? Meral came to the house to see us. She was really friendly and explained everything in simple terms. Her communication with us throughout the process was fantastic. She organised everything and we couldnt have done it without her. Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for? Yes. Everything went really smoothly and we completed within weeks. What could they have done better? Nothing

1 Dec 2022What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for a financial adviser? We were looking for advice regarding a remortgage as we had a difficult situation with a divorce settlement. Meral was recommended by a friend. How has Meral helped you? Cannot explain how well Merral has helped us, not only with her advice, but also with her patients and her willingness to help and deal with problems along the process. We had a very challenging situation which turned out to be a very lengthy process. Nothing ever seemed a problem for her. Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for? Everything we had hoped for was met, if not more. What could they have done better? Absolutely nothing in my opinion. Meral had it all covered.

3 Oct 2022After searching the internet for somebody suitable to help my 81 year old mother with her equity release I came across Meral, after an initial chat on the phone I just knew that my mother would be in safe hands with this kind, understanding patient lady who really knows her stuff when it comes to equity release. My mother sent me a handwritten note through the post and asked if I could place it with the reviews as she doesn’t know how to do them. From my first meeting with Meral Kendrick I sensed that she would be working in my interest. I would really recommend her as she dealt with my equity release with efficiency and care. Wendy Stalford. Meral really did go above and beyond our expectations and we cannot thank her enough.
