Written by the company
Set up in June 2009 by our Managing Director, Steve Bartholomew – St Barts has achieved substantial growth since its inception, managing to open a number of high street offices on the south coast, including a number with Yorkshire Building Society branches, with more in the planning. Steve Bartholomew states: ‘Our main aim is to provide a service to our clients that we would expect and want to receive ourselves. Customer services is 100% the most important part of this business – if this is not achieved, then we will not succeed’. Where the high street banks are shutting daily, we have branches that clients can simply walk into and receive advice. If we do not have a branch in your area, we can offer video meetings or over the phone - its completely up to you!

Mortgage Capacity Report
I originally had to use Mark for an updated mortgage capacity report . He was very communicative and made me feel comfortable sharing such personal information with a complete stranger. The report was prompt and at a reasonable cost and delivered to forward to the courts in time.
A couple of months later I had to update the report again and to go through the information again. He knew what needed updating and once again the report was delivered very promptly.
I would recommend Mark very highly and will use him again in the future for any mortgage applications.

St Bart’s have been amazing in what turned out to be a long process in getting our house, but Katie in particular who sorted out our mortgage and other bits along the way has been amazing! I can’t thank her enough for how easy she has made it and answering all our questions along the way! High recommend St Bart’s!

We were lucky enough to work with the wonderful Rachel for our first mortgage, as one of us is a business owner we were nervous that it could feel complicated but Rachel immediately put us at ease.
She explained and supported every step of the process, truly went above and well beyond what we expected to make sure we were always in the loop and no question was ever too big.
I couldn't recommend her enough if I tried, she was absolutely wonderful. Thank you so so much.
Paul was always polite and helpful
Paul Edwards at St Barts was always helpful and polite, very thorough in sorting out what I needed, many thanks, it's nice to see that St Barts are able to open a local branch when many companies are shutting there's

Andrea from the team was amazing helping us with our mortgage. Everything went smoothly and on time. We are really grateful for all the work that was done for us !
Maria was fantastic
We’ve worked with Maria at St Barts twice now for our mortgages, and once again she has been fantastic. She kept us updated every step of the way and worked so hard to find us the best rate possible.
She also helped us arrange life cover, which gave us one less thing to worry about during the stress of moving house. Whenever we spoke to the wider team at St Bart’s (but most often Tracy), they were always professional and friendly, which made the whole process even smoother.
We really value Maria’s support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her – we’ll definitely come back to her again in the future.
Maria and Tracy were such a great help…
Maria and Tracy were such a great help throughout the purchase of our property which wasn’t straight forward. They went above and beyond and we would highly recommend.
Professional Team, Seamless Experience
This is the third time we have gone with St Barts relating to our mortgage. Richard and Darren have been amazing through the process on each occasion. Communication has been excellent and we really felt looked after. I know Richard will be in touch in 5 years when it's time to shop around for a new offer and unquestionably we'll use St Barts again.
Saved me thousands of pounds
Charlotte was amazing from start to finish. I had an original mortgage offer but my sale dragged on and it expired. That's when i went with Charlotte, who managed to find me an even better deal and save me over £300 a month. She explained everything clearly, kept me updated the whole way through, and somehow made the process feel stress free even though we were less than a week away from exchange. I couldn't recommend her enough!
Great experience with St Barts
Had a great experience with Tom Oliver at St Barts. He steered us through our first mortgage application, providing excellent advice and an honest opinion on a range of matters. He was always available for a chat and kept us informed about our mortgage application progress regularly. Can't recommend enough.
Excellent service- Thank you Tom Oliver
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m incredibly happy with the mortgage advice I received from Tom Oliver CeMAP at St Barts Finance Ltd. As a first-time buyer, I had lots of questions, and Tom was patient, knowledgeable, and always ready to help.
He made the whole process easy to understand and guided me through every step with confidence. I couldn’t have asked for better service.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for expert mortgage advice!

Katie was really helpful in renewing my mortgage at a lower rate. She also kept in touch when interest rates dropped with better deals.

Katie Hartley was brilliant when helping us with our mortgage. She found us the best deal and explained everything. When the bank had some technical difficulties she made sure to get in touch with them to get it fixed straight away. Would definitely recommend! Thanks Katie!

Cannot recommend Katie Hartley high enough. Made the process of our mortgage renewal the easiest it’s ever been, keeping us up to date all through the process and getting us the best deal possible. Will be using again and recommending to everyone.
Tom Oliver
I can’t recommend Tom Oliver highly enough, from the first phone call he was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. We had no idea where to start with our house move and Tom helped us through the whole process and into our new home. We’re very grateful and will definitely be recommending Tom to friends and family. Thanks so much
We Recommend Sonny at St Barts…
We can’t recommend Sonny at St Barts Finance highly enough! As first-time buyers, the whole mortgage process felt daunting, but Sonny made everything so much easier. He provided a very personal service, taking the time to explain every detail clearly and making sure we had all the information we needed to feel confident at each stage.
What really stood out was how available and approachable he was — no question was ever too small, and he was always on hand to put our minds at ease. He truly went above and beyond to support us, and we’re so grateful for all of his help in securing our first mortgage.
If you’re looking for someone professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to their clients, we would absolutely recommend Sonny and St Barts Finance.

I cannot recommend Claire Brooks highly enough. From the very beginning, Claire demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep knowledge of the mortgage market, and genuine care for my needs.
