We used LP to redeem our Help To Buy Loan and had a very positive experience with Jake Mowatt, Harry Smith & Izabela Chlopek. We were kept up to date at all times with the status of the transaction by Jake, which was completed very quickly and efficiently. He took the time to explain what was happening at each point so that we could fully understand and was very helpful with questions we had. All interactions with the above staff were polite, informative and professional. Would really recommend to anyone and will be using again in the future.
