Farm & Country Finance has helped us to fulfil one of our life long ambitions. We had always wanted to buy a caravan park, and when one in our area came up for sale, we knew we had to buy it. We just presumed our regular bank, with which we had been customers with for twenty years, would lend us the money. Our own bank wouldn’t, and neither would any other high street bank.
It was at this point that we looked at alternative ways to raise the money. We did find a number of companies that would give us a mortgage, but at huge interest rates, and also with huge fees – far too high for us to be able to pay.
We were told about a man, Mark Bracegirdle, running a company called Farm & Country Finance. Within a few days of speaking to him, and giving him some information about ourselves, he had travelled up to see us, we filled in a few simple forms, and our mortgage application was up and running.
Mark did more in a week, than any other bank or company had done for us in over a month. His straightforward way of dealing with our application, and keeping us informed, made the whole process very easy for us. Mark was full of knowledge, and dealt with our application very professionally – but also with a great sense of humour; he turned, what had been an extremely stressful experience, into a very enjoyable one. We also learnt a great deal along the way.
We ended up with a mortgage deal much better than any high street bank could offer us, and in some cases, half the price of some of the alternative companies that we had considered. Farm & Country Finance has simply saved us thousands and thousands of pounds.
We have since recommended Mark to various people, and in the future, when we expand our business, we will be using Farm & Country again – in fact, we can’t imagine ever going anywhere else.
