Greg, Ruth & the whole team at Frog Financial have been amazing at securing mortgages for myself and my sister. We have had lots of changes & challenges and they have been very helpful & quick at responding to multiple questions! For myself, being self employed, Greg worked wonders to find a lender that worked. Fingers crossed until it all completes!

I first contacted Frog several years ago and they are now my "go to" company for all financial matters and advice. I have always found them friendly, efficient and easy to deal with, and I applaud their ability to convert "financial jargon" into everyday understandable language.I also especially appreciate that they will contact and remind me when I need to review some aspect of my finances. I can without hesitation fully recommend Frog and all their team members

Just the best, Greg helped me find a mortgage for my first property when other mortgage brokers couldn't find one to fit my needs. They were great answering any questions I had and helped me a lot throughout the house buying process. Also helped find and set up house insurance. Will be continuing to use them in the future and I highly recommend them.

I was directed to Frog Financial in September 2018 and received excellent financial advice and general guidance. Since then I have requested them to investigate house insurance for me and have always signed up to the suggested policies.I would have no hesitation in suggesting they are approached by my friends to discuss their requirements.

I had a great experience with Frog Financial Management. Right from the start Greg was super reassuring and knowledgeable. As first time buyers we had a lot of questions and the whole team were always on hand to answer them. Greg, Danni and Charley were beyond helpful, always responsive and got everything that we needed sorted out, which added some peace of mind to what can be a scary process!

Usually, I am always reluctant in giving out services base on google search as I believe in referrals for certain important & delicate things like getting a mortgage application done perfectly well. However, I will say my opinion has now changed based on the professionalism and way my application was handled at Frog! I am grateful to Craig, Val, and the whole team at Frog- You all have made me realise that a client does not need to be seen face to face before a great client base work can be carried out! Well done for the fantastic job done in getting my mortgage application through, hitch free. I am happy I made the decision to bet on you when my initial broker disappointed me :). I will recommend Frog to friends, family and anyone reading this.

Frog are completely on the ball. They source competitive rates and email us when our insurances need renewing - ensuring year on year that we get the best deal. They have sourced our mortgage for over 6 years and given us financial advice regarding our Wills and life assurance. We wouldn’t be without them. Thank you to Craig, Charlie and the team. You have made a huge difference to reducing our stress with financial worry.
Laura Owen
22:50 21 Aug 23
Friendly and helpful from the get go - thank you Greg & the team for all your help securing our mortgage as first time buyers! As a self-employed business owner (with a part time job) it was really difficult to know how lenders would take my different income streams into account. Greg explained everything with clarity and made an overwhelming amount of facts and figures seem simple and coherent. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Dan Muckle
17:35 18 Aug 23
I couldn’t recommend Frog enough. Our advisor Greg’s advice is always thorough and up to date with the latest market trends. Greg has been meticulous in explaining the nuances of my partner and I’s financial situation with clarity, which has empowered us with the confidence to make sensible informed decisions. I’m not confident that we would have managed to secure the mortgage offer that we have had we gone elsewhere. Everyone at Frog has been very friendly and approachable and are a pleasure to work with!

We have used Frog since our first house move in 2007. We have continued to use them on subsequent moves and when we remortgage - they take the hassle out of everything and are very quick to address things that come up before they become issues. We recently used frog to help identify the best house insurance - Charley was excellent! We are very happy with the service and continue to use them. Friends and family have been satisfied with Frog too and we will continue to recommend their excellent service!

Absolutely recommend Frog! My husband and I dealt with Greg who was incredibly thorough and helpful with getting us a new mortgage. He gave us very in-depth information on the process but used very understandable terminology so it didn't feel like he was speaking gibberish haha! He also got us a great life insurance upgrade opposed to our previous provider and we really appreciated that!Go use them for your next remortgage pronto!

I usually tend to do my own home/content quotes but as life has been so busy lately and have been speaking to Frog about remortgaging I thought I would ask them. So glad we did saved me having to get lots of different quotes and read through the information as was after a like for like quotation. They couldn't have been more helpful and informative. Will definitely be using again!

Having used Frog Financial intially for a FTB application and now for our remortgage, the Team have been fantastic in supporting us. Everyone is super responsive and happy to answer any questions along the way - which was particularly useful being a FTB, where the whole mortgage process seems so convoluted and complex. When it came to remortgage time, I knew we were in safe hands and didn't have to worry too much. Greg, Ruth, Craig, Emiley, Charlie and team are highly professional and always go the extra mile.Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a mortgage and insurance broker that gets stuff done!

We have recently just completed on our first home and it’s all down to Frog Financial! From start to finish they have been so helpful, really quick responding to emails and any queries we had.We were very apprehensive with the whole process having heard horror stories from friends and family but the team at Frog have been amazing. We felt so at ease during the whole process, having dealt with Charley, Greg & Danni, they have all been out of this world. My partner and I didn’t have a clue where to start but the team at Frog talked us through every single step and put us both at ease.We honestly can’t thank you all enough for what you’ve done for us. We will certainly be using their services again & would recommend them to anyone and everyone! Truly thank you so much for everything, the absolute best in the business!Samantha & Charlie

Having recently used Frog Financial Management to source our first mortgage we have been completely blown away. The level of detail that they have gone to in order to source us the most suitable product has been second to none. Charley & Greg have both been incredible. Nothing was ever too much trouble and no stone was ever left unturned. From the initial welcome to us completing on our mortgage, we felt at ease from the outset. They managed to take the stress out of the home buying process and simplified everything for somebody whom this was all alien to. We will be recommending Frog to anybody who ever needs any financial advice and will absolutely be back and after your advice when we need it going forward. Thank you once again!Charlie & Samantha 😊

As the office at Frog will know our journey with our property purchase has not been plain sailing. With a turbulent market housing and mortage rates we could not of had a more dedicated team to help us get our mortage offer. Greg worked tirelessly with us to ensure we had the best rate possible, whilst always considering our best interest at heart. His email were always full of consideration in making the best choice for our personal circumstances and we could not recommend him more. His communication and support at key points are the reason we have secured a mortgage on the house we love . Thank you all.

I can highly recommend Frog Financial from start to finish in what has been a turbulent experience for anyone in the property sector over the last few months. Craig is a highly experienced operator. His advice is based on deep knowledge and experience of the markets and importantly, always from a position of honesty and what is best for the client, rather than his fee. Ruth is an excellent broker, with tenacity as well as humanity. Greg went the extra mile - maybe 10 miles - and took time to give extremely valuable advice, which may have saved the deal. Emiley is like a dog with a bone in chasing everything through and Charley picks up the baton to get the right insurance in place. This place is a hub of professional excellence that I have used before and will use again.

Being a first time buyer I was overwhelmed by the amount of information out there. After seeing the 5 star reviews of Frog I reached out to set up an appointment and I was immediately impressed with how efficient they were slotting me in for a meeting that same week. Greg spent time with us running through all our questions in an incredibly friendly and helpful manner so I felt reassured about the whole process and how Frog could help us.We happened to see the house we wanted to purchase over the weekend and Greg was so quick to find the best mortgage deal for us so we could be confident with making an offer. Throughout the process I've found Frog to be very responsive, helpful and clear with communication. The added benefit of having Charley help find home insurance was greatly appreciated.Overall it's been fantastic working with Frog and I know when my fixed rate comes to an end I'll be working with Frog again. Thank you to Greg, Charley and team!

Jo Spencer
17:57 25 Aug 22
What can I say, Greg was absolutely brilliant - he checked out the best rate for us to remortgage and explained in layman’s terms why that rate was the best choice. He then proceeded to arrange everything on what should have been a very simple switch to a new rate with a current lender. This was not the case, the lender had numerous issues, I was a little concerned that we could loose the rate as things are changing so rapidly at the moment, but Greg confirmed the rate was locked in and continued to chase to get the job done - keeping us updated as and when needed. Thanks so much and I would have no hesitation in using his services again at the end of this fixed rate mortgage. Highly recommended.
Private Medical insurance
Private Medical insurance
Quick access to medical treatment, with the freedom to choose who treats you, where and when.
Although most UK residents are entitled to excellent free healthcare from the NHS, there can be significant benefits to having Private Medical Insurance.
Private Medical insurance pays all, or some of your medical bills if you’re treated privately (depending on the policy conditions). It gives you a choice in the level of care you get and how and when it is provided.
Private medical insurance can be beneficial if:
- You want peace of mind that you can get access to diagnosis and treatment quickly
- You would prefer not to wait for NHS treatment
- You would prefer to stick to private hospitals where possible
- You want to be covered for drugs and treatment you can’t get on the NHS, like specialist surgery (depending on the policy conditions)
You don’t have to take out private medical insurance. But if you don’t want to use the NHS, you might find it hard to pay for private treatment without insurance, especially for serious conditions.
We can help you on different types of options available.
You will be referred to our trusted partner, Kevin Bates, owner of Medic Healthcare.
Whole-of-life insurance
A whole-of-life insurance policy pays your family a lump sum of money whenever you die, to help ease their financial worries. Unlike a term life insurance policy that covers you for a fixed period, a whole-of-life insurance policy covers you until you die, i.e., for your whole life.
A whole-of-life insurance policy can provide that financial security for your family when you pass away.
As death is inevitable, a whole-of-life insurance policy is guaranteed to pay out, if you continue to pay your monthly premiums.
A whole-of-life insurance policy is the most comprehensive life cover policy available and can be taken out for many reasons, including:
- To provide financial security should you pass away unexpectedly
- Provide a lump sum to pay for an inheritance tax liability
- Help pay any debts you might have that need repaying on your death
- Pay funeral costs, relieving your family of worry
You don’t have to take out private medical insurance. But if you don’t want to use the NHS, you might find it hard to pay for private treatment without insurance, especially for serious conditions.

Trusts – making life insurance more efficient
If you are currently paying for life insurance or whole-of-life insurance that is not written in Trust, then it’s not going to be the most efficient structure for you or your loved ones.
If your current policies are not written in Trust, when you die your life insurance will pay into your estate.
Inheritance tax is currently set at 40% of the value of your estate, with the first £325,000 incurring no inheritance tax. It will prove more beneficial for your family to have a life insurance policy that can be used to pay any inheritance tax, when your policy is written in Trust.
The Benefits of Trusts
When you die, your life insurance policies will pay into a discretionary Trust and not to your estate.
This has the following potential benefits:
- With the correct planning, the proceeds would usually not be subject to IHT at 40%; the funds do not enter your estate and therefore are not subject to this tax.
- The proceeds would not be subject to probate delay; as the funds are held outside of your estate (in the Trust), your loved ones will be able to get access to the cash as soon as practically possible. This ensures your loved ones have the funds in a timely manner when they need them the most.
- The funds would be guaranteed to go directly to your loved ones – you can determine who can and cannot benefit from the funds in the Trust. This can be stipulated during your lifetime, and you can appoint people to ensure these stipulations are carried out.
