I had the pleasure of working with Natalie during my shared ownership journey. She was always responsive, professional, and incredibly helpful, guiding me through every step of the process with patience and clarity. Natalie kept me informed at all times and made what could have been a stressful experience much easier and reassuring. Thank you for your support and dedication. I’m very grateful!

Buying an apartment for the first time and through Shared Ownership can seem daunting but Jamie Fraser was really excellent at being there to guide us and help every step of the way. Jamie showed us the apartment multiple times, helped give a push with mortgage brokers and solicitors along the way, and was always very prompt to answer all our questions. This provided reassurance in this long and intricate process. From start to finish it took about 8 weeks to complete. Jamie also checked on us a few times after we'd moved in to make sure everything was running smoothly. We love our new home too and couldn't be happier to have taken the first step on the property ladder!

I had a fantastic experience working with Mark Thompson at L&G to secure my first home. From my initial enquiry to completion, Mark was consistently responsive, clear, and supportive throughout the entire process. He kept me well-informed with timely updates and set clear expectations at every stage, which made the journey much smoother and less stressful. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a home with L&G.

Liaising with Natalie has hands down been the best customer service I have ever experienced. She was SO incredibly patient and made me feel totally at ease anytime we communicated. I never felt embarrassed or stupid asking her a question which was a total relief, especially as I had plenty being a first time buyer. Sometimes you can just feel a person really loves helping others, that they have a real passion for excellent customer care and this was most definitely felt. Thank you again Natalie! Your company are very lucky to have you. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I did not proceed in purchasing a shared ownership property, however L&G's service (big shout out to Mark too) was 10/10, I just had to leave a review!
