Senior Underwriter
I am a Senior Underwriter at a specialist bridging lender who deals with straight forward and complex loans, both 1st and 2nd charges. I have dealt with Josh Jacobs on several cases so far, and I've found his knowledge, responsiveness and efficiency some of the best in the market. I have been in the industry for 10+ years, and I'd put Josh right up there in the top 3 brokers I have dealt with. His problem-solving attitude to deals is refreshing and contributes really positively to achieving completion. Josh really cares about his clients, but also balances this well with keeping the lender's interest in mind. As a lender, it is brilliant to work with a broker who has genuine knowledge and can see both sides of every application. I've enjoyed working with Josh so far, and very excited to get through many more cases and completions together!

Saved 50% on interest costs - 1.2m multi property refinance
I have very recently concluded a refinance matter with Josh acting on behalf of my client as the broker, whereby the matter itself was fraught with difficulties. Throughout the process, he was on hand to assist in any way possible, and was very consistent in keeping up to date on the case's progression, and was very prompt in responding to communication, often liaising with all parties to hurdle any obstacle faced. It has been a great pleasure to work with Josh, and I believe the case would have been a lot harder for all involved, without his assistance. I confidently say that Josh's very positive, proactive and down to earth approach was well received, by all.
