What better way to describe Crystal Clear FS than truly professional, personable and a pleasure to deal with. Mike travelled a long way to meet with us and immediately put both my husband and I at ease. Mike was able to clearly see the best deals that were available to us remortgaging our existing property, after he left we felt that we had spoken with someone that really understood out situation and had spoke with us on a level we understood. Mike puts in a enormous amount of effort and has kept in constant contact keeping us praised of progress and being on the phone / email when we needed his support. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services and I will most definitely be back in contact for support when moving next year and in the next month to sort out a will. Mike and Tania thank you both again for a 1st class service.
I know you should never say this to a man, but Mike Brown is a gift from God - in the mortgage world at least!! Not only is he professional (never cancelled a meeting, absolutely punctual, honest and incredibly proactive and tenacious) but he marries this with actually getting the job done with swift precision. From the first email I wrote to him he totally understood what needed to be done and with his extensive network of vital reliable contacts and his comprehensive back ground of mortgage regulations and laws I knew I was exceptional hands! He had knowledge the most up to date statistics without having to go away and look things up and calculated sums in his head before I had reached for my calculator!! He also understood the emotions involved and made sure I know exactly what progress we had made keeping me up to date and fully aware of all aspects advising me of the ‘what ifs’. If that was not enough he was one of the most personable men I had met, relaxed but confident and professional. Suffice to say I am now very happily settled with the deal that I was after, one that other mortgage advisors said wasn’t possible. Mike, thank you for all you did I really don’t know where we would be without you!
Mike recently did a mortgage for me and I have to say from start to end he held my hand. He was so helpful totally professional ,always on the end of the phone when I needed him (which was a lot!) made the whole process so smooth and easy. I would highly reccomend Mike to anyone who needs a mortgage. If you want someone to take the stress away then a phone call to Mike is the first thing you should do. Thanks for all you did for us Mike, very much appreciated.
Mike from Crystal Clear took a great deal of time talk to my husband and I about our different insurance policies and helped us to understand this ‘mine-field’ of confusion and T&C’s. He was brilliant, and found us the necessary insurance plans to suit us as individuals and as a couple, and worked exceptionally hard to get us the best cover within our personal budget. I would always recommend Mike for mortgages and personal insurance policies.
Mike offers excellent friendly tailored financial advice. And doesn't mind when the customer changes their mind! I've saved £200+ a month on my mortgage so thanks Mike and Crystal Clear for your patience and great mortgage advice.
When you are looking for a mortgage, you want to feel that your mortgage broker is on your side. Mike does that.
I have used Mike from Crystal Clear Financial Services on a number of times and each time he has managed to sort out all the problems that have arisen from the various situations. Mike is fantastic at getting the right result for the customer and his attention to detail is first class. I would highly recommend Mike and Crystal Clear Financial Services to all my friends,frankly I wouldn't trust anyone else.
Fantastic, friendly service and always there when needed. Would never consider using anyone else - total trust and would recommend to everyone.
Mike and the team at Crystal Clear only have the very best interests of their clients at heart. They are very easy to communicate with and always respond to queries no matter how insignificant they may seem. They realise that often the most important details are in the small print and Mike takes the time to explain everything in easy to understand terminology. I have recommended Mike to several friends and colleagues and will definitely continue to use him for all my mortgage and financial services needs.

Mike and Tanya were life savers when we bought our house recently. From day one Mike was confident that he could help us with both our residential and buy to let montages and it was a roller coaster as the process is a lot harder but we got there. Tanya was super in dealing the solicitor and making sure it all ran smoothly at the point where we exchanged and completion. They work very well as a team and complement each other. They are very professional, they will explain everything to you without making you feel stupid, give advice without pressure, the biggest thing for me is that they are very approachable, Kind, caring and really want to make sure you get the best possible outcome for your needs. We had many complications with being classed as self-employed and the endless red tape they have now. However Mike never gave up and always had three or four suggestion as to a new route we could take. Mike was always a star taking endless phone calls and email and he always remained positive and encouraged me to stick with and he would help us get there. Now we have been in our lovely house for 4 months and get stuck into the DIY !! I have recommend crystal clear financial to friends of mine and they have been in touch Mike to help them buy their first home and I would highly recommend Mike and Tanya again in the future. Mike and Tanya “Thank You So So Much”
A good friend of mine recommended Crystal Clear Financial Services as he had known Mike Brown for some time and always found him very helpful and easy to approach, with quick answers to his queries. I thus spoke with Mike Brown as I was seeking a new mortgage and within a couple of days Mike travelled up to see me one evening to undertake a detailed review of my circumstances and discuss the sort of mortgages that were available, with some clear guidelines. Mike subsequently contacted me with some very clear options, along with an explanation of how things may be moved forward. Mike then arranged the mortgage for me, along with the relevant insurance policies for the property. Mike also liaised with my Solicitor and ensured that a copy of the cover note was sent to them at the appropriate time, to ensure release of the necessary funds. I would have no hesitation in recommending Crystal Clear Financial Services to anybody who requires important financial guidance and assistance. Antony Dickins
Mike is always proactive and will call us up to change a product we have if ever the market is favourable. Would recommend and HAVE recommeded his services to friends and colleagues.
Mike from Crystal Clear most definitely has his customer's best interests at heart. He also is great at listening to a customer. Even to the smallest extent of filling out forms! After I gave him my post code once, he remembered it for the rest of the form filling. How's that for attention to detail! When I need a mortgage I'll see him, no questions asked!
I fully recommend Crystal Clear Financial Services for your mortgage and protection needs. I received a thorough and professional service that delivered my needs in an efficient and friendly manner.
Mike who runs Crystal clear FS is the most hardworking financial advisor that I know. Nothing is too much for his customers. He works tirelessly to provide choice for his clients. Very professional and a long term advisor to me through thick and thin!
Mike and his team are simply brilliant. I have used a number of financial advisors before and none have come close. Mike has a natural ability to explain complex scenarios in plain English and to find solutions to challenging requests. I have had the pleasure of introducing him to several friends and associates - all of whom have too received the same great service.
Mike at Crystal Clear Financial Services is an incredibly astute people person who works to the culture rule in terms of values i.e. respect, loyalty and commitment. He is a dedicated, professional and experienced individual who clearly demonstrates the ability to support and drive through your Financial requriements without fault or delay.

Technical skills aside he is a pleasure to be around, creative when needed and also fun! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Crystal Clear Financial Services and in particular Mike for the support that he has shown us. Any individual working with them will do well. Thanks Crystal Clear and Thanks Mike!
Mike sourced our mortgage in 2012, with patience, diligence and a superb result. He is a true gent and absolutely the best there is.
Mike has saved us a lot of money on our mortgage at a time when were just about to have our first baby. He is thorough, skilled, excellent knowledge in his field and more importantly patient with his clients, never feeling under pressure. Top mortgage adviser and highly recommend.
Mike has amazing integrity - it would be so easy to advise someone to change even though the benefits to the client do not warrant it, but Mike can be totally trusted to give an honourable viewpoint. Maximum integrity, excellent personality!
Mike is an extremely knowledgeable and proactive mortgage broker who helped us find a great solution to our situation.
I have had several sessions with Mike, and his advice is always professional and helpful. He's a very approachable character, and explains things in plain English, which is helpful for a numbers ignoramus like myself! Highly recommended!
The best financial advice i have had. I could never have got a mortgage with out Mike Brown. Everyone needs a mike :)
I've been using Mike for five or six years now and he never fails to come up with the best, most suitable mortgage deals. He's always more than happy to travel to where it best suits his clients and is always completely up-to-date with the very latest figures. Mike is very adept at suggesting which particular deal would best suit the client and their situation and all his information is imparted with an infectious enthusiasm, which is never forced or patronising. He totally deserves all his success and I for one look forward to using him again very soon.
