A forty-something Dad of one, with a passion for music, gin, and the property industry.
Having been a mortgage advisor for the best part of a decade, customer service is at the forefront of everything he does, as well as trying as many different types of gin as humanly possible.
Arguably the most important thing when using a broker. We have years of experience in the industry to provide you with the correct advice for your circumstances, every single time.
Great service begins with flexibility. Our appointments are available at times to suit you, including evenings and weekends.
Our process can be tweaked for your personal preferences to make things as easy and smooth as possible. Service is at the heart of everything we do. If you’re not happy, neither are we.
Our experience in the finance industry dates back to 2004 at Barclays Bank. Since then, all manner of job titles & roles have come and gone giving us a wide range of experience.
We settled in the mortgage market in 2014, initially in the specialist finance area but later mainstream mortgage market, and haven’t looked back since.
Tom Humphriss2024-11-14Working with Phil has been an absolute pleasure throughout the entire mortgage process. From our first Zoom call to the move-in date, he was always easy to reach, clear in his communication, and incredibly responsive. Not only did Phil guide us seamlessly through every step, but he also secured the best possible rate tailored to our situation. We truly appreciate his expertise and dedication. Thanks again, Phil—we'll definitely be reaching out to you again in the future!Amy R2024-11-08Phil was incredibly helpful throughout the process of getting our first mortgage. He explained everything clearly, was there to answer questions whenever we needed and generally made everything less stressful. Not only that, but he answered everything in a friendly way so you never feel like you’re asking a stupid question. We felt that we could rely on Phil to have everything under control, and trusted him in getting us the best option for our situation, which is great when you have absolutely no idea how any of it works! Phil also helped us with life insurance which took some pressure off us too. Overall we would really recommend Phil to anybody looking to buy a house. His help has been invaluable - straightforward without being judgemental or patronising. Thank you Phil! :)charleigh mawson2024-09-27Me and my partner are first time buyers, and Phil has been brilliant throughout the whole process. Always available to assist with queries and finding the best mortgage deal which suits your circumstances. The journey hasn’t been easy (conveyancing side) , but Phil made it much more bearable! We have already recommended Phil to family and friends but will continue to do so. Thank you Phil! :-)Dave Mason2024-09-04Hassle free remortgage and working to a tight deadline, Phil Gamblin was brilliant thanks very much.Shola N2024-09-04Phil was absolutely amazing. I was very nervous and apprehensive about getting a mortgage on my own. Phil was full of advice and knowledge. Speaking with him was like talking to a friend, via email and phone. He continued to work on getting me a great mortgage rate, right up until the exchange of contracts! He really did go the extra mile. I'm so glad I found him on tiktok, best decision I made this year was reaching out to him.R Thomas2024-08-12Phil was great from start to completion, got us the best deal around and stayed in touch throughout the process. Would highly recommendFrazer Grant2024-07-22Phil was extremely helpful. Made the process incredibly simple. And went the extra mile for us. Incredible customer servicePabloCasts2024-07-11Phil at Oak Financial has not only held our hands throughout the whole process, he has also offered a ton of options, talked through the consequences of different decisions, given anecdotal evidence of why some some products are chosen over others and been not just a broker but a friendly ear as well. He has had to negotiate some tricky steps as myself and the mrs are both self employed and we have ended up with a mortgage from one of the best banks after over 15 years of trying.Dogs Go2024-07-09Would give 6 stars if it was an option! Phil is extremely informative, acts quickly, offers practical advice and manages expectations. His level of customer care is excellent. You won't get better. I found Phil on Tiktok and I would recommend following his channel as you will learn so much. I wouldn't go anywhere else and have instructed all friends and family to use Phil. Thank you for getting me two mortgages!L Palmer2024-07-08We cannot recommend Phil Gamblin highly enough! He worked with us on our recent remortgage which was complicated to say the least. We found Phil on TikTok and watched his live feed one evening after loosing all hope of ever getting another mortgage. From start to finish the whole process took less than a month and Phil was always on the end of the phone to answer any questions no matter how big or small! Thank you once again Phil for helping us regain our lives backGoogle rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 36 reviews
