Olympus Financial Planning - Rye

Jonathan Clement

Pete was recommended to me by a friend who I'd worked with for years.

I called upon Pete's services when my wife and I decided to purchase our first property together this year 04-2025. The estate agents recommended their guy, whom I accepted as matter of courtesy but I knew my guy was the right man for the job so to speak. I got Pete on the case as we'd only got one possible option for the mortgage lender, not satisfied with just one (obviously I wanted a comparison, I got Pete onto it). Pete was able to identify the same lender in the market but also gave me other options in case the initial/first lender did not work out.

Needless to say, the whole process was not as straight forward and easy as one would think. There were various hurdles and speed bumps thrown in our direction from seller/developer and agents on their side to our estate agents. At any one time I'd have multiple individuals chasing for updates and pushing for answers. It wasn't long before I asked Pete to take over and fight the fires on my behalf. Pete, being the awesome legend he is, took this on and kept me in the loop.

I could write a novel on the whole process as it literally almost broke me, without Pete in my corner, my wife and I would not have managed to exchange and complete on our new apartment.

One thing I'd like to add as a reflection of Pete, the estate agents guy offered his services free, so basically, he waivered his fees. When I got Pete involved, he noticed this and agreed that he too would honour this as part of the service. As I've mentioned, I could not have done this without Pete and to that end, I not just agreed to, but insisted I pay his fee for his services.

I’ll repeat this again, Pete is amazing at what he does, words do not come close to describing how much of an absolute legend he is, always willing to go the extra mile and happy to provide his help and services where he can. He is definitely my "go to man" for any financial advice - Mortgages, pensions etc. In fact, Pete is now one of my speed dials, yes, I'm old school, I still use speed dials on my mobile.

Pete has been completely brilliant to deal with. He swiftly arranged a mortgage for me and was knowledgeable, efficient, straightforward and professional. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending his services as a financial adviser.

Impeccable service, Faultless. Olympus Financial Planning is now my go to. Working with Pete to get our house remortgaged was effort free yet the results were the best we could achieve. Options were provided and all scenarios had been covered. Conversations were professional but tailored to feel personal, I really felt like I could speak my mind and be listened to whilst getting solid advice/thoughts/opinions - and this is all before I'd completed or even paid for the amazing service I had. On top of all the above, Pete was adaptable and worked around our time schedules, making amendments as we required and found us an even better deal than we anticipated.

I was recommended to Pete by a colleague at work. We needed his services urgently to look into buy-to-let mortgages after we lost our buyer from our house sale on the day before exchange - and had just a few days to save our onward purchase.

We lodged a contact request on Sunday morning and were speaking on the phone later that same day.

Within 24 hours he had presented a number of different mortgage options tailored to our necessity to move quickly, offered a lot of advice and helped us to work out the financial feasibility of the options - and started the application process for us instantly too.

Unfortunately, we couldn't make the finances work to save our purchase - but Pete was brilliant in such a short space of time and I would recommend him to anybody in a similar situation.

I could not have had a better experience than the professional way Pete Harris dealt with my mortgage and insurance.
He is knowledgable, sympathetic and in my case patient.
I feel that Pete went the extra mile to help me at what turned out to be a very difficult time. At the last moment when my buyer yet again reduced her price it was Pete's actions that saved the day.
I would not hesitate to use his first class financial services again.

Pete was very helpful to my partner in I in brokering our mortgage deal and arranging all necessary insurance related to the purchase of our house. He also then helped us with life and critical illness cover for myself and was very patient and helpful during what was a lengthy back-and-forth process with the provider.

It was always easy to get in touch with him via either phone, email or online call; so if we had any questions we never had to wait long for Pete to get us the answers. Pete was great at explaining the different financial products and the process in a way that a couple of stressed-out first-timers could understand easily, and it was clear he was motivated by serving the clients' interests best, not by the size of his own commissions.

We'd certainly use Pete's services again in the future.

Pete Harris was responsive, accommodating, and professional from start to finish of our first house purchase. He was able to lock in a deal we were happy with despite a tough interest rate environment. He was helpful every step of the way and couldn’t recommend him more.

Pete provided trust and confidence in finding a solution to remortgaging in this difficult unstable period.
I liked the way Pete was not pushy in selling one product although the flip side was that on two occasions I miss the opportunity of securing a good deal.
I recommend Olympus services and Pete easy to get style.
Thank you.
