Exceptional Customer Service
Charles James has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from their customers, with a majority rating their services as 5-star. Many customers have praised the company's excellent customer service, citing the helpfulness and knowledge of their advisors. For example, Kate Bottomley and Clare Burke both raved about their experiences with Daniel and Jack, respectively, who explained complex financial matters in a transparent and stress-free manner.
Fantastic Mortgages and Insurance
The company has also excelled in providing excellent mortgage and insurance services. Leanda Beeden was impressed with the service when sorting out her first mortgage, and Anna Fenn has been a long-time customer, using the company for multiple financial services such as life insurance, pensions, and wills. Ryan Thickett, in particular, went above and beyond to help Anna Fenn secure a new mortgage offer and house survey in under three weeks.
Mixed Experience with One Customer
However, not all customers have had a positive experience. Dean Hall was initially impressed with Charles James, but his experience deteriorated when he questioned the costs and flexibility of their services. He felt that the company was inflexible and that communication could have been better. Despite this, he acknowledged that the initial meeting was professional and that the company may have just had a bad day.
