What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Sydney City Financial Planning is a mortgage broking practice whose clients consistently single out Tom Hancock and Janette for praise. Customers in several reviews describe being kept informed at every stage, with clear explanations of the finer details so that decisions felt properly understood.

Tom and the team are very helpful and professional. We had a great experience and Tom sorted us out and talked us through the finer details to ensure we understood clearly. We'll continue to engage with Tom as our circumstances change etc.

Great work team. Tom knew what I needed, and which bank would work for my purchase. The process was seamless and information available when needed or Tom would call to confirm where we were at in the loan process. I'd recommend SCFP for your next purchase.

I have been a client of Sydney City Financial Planning for 8 years now. Tom has assisted myself and my wife with loans for the purchase of land, investment properties and the construction of our own home, and we couldn’t be happier. Tom’s friendly, professional and personalised service takes the stress out of major financial decisions, as he does all the hard work for you, and gets the best deals. We’ve been dealing with Tom for so long now, working with him is like collaborating with an old friend. We would never use anyone else for our finances, and we can’t recommend Tom and his team highly enough!

We worked with Tom for over 12 months in our journey to purchase our first family home in Sydney and could not be more pleased with his services. Tom provided a range of financing options which ensured we could achieve a fantastic outcome. Tom has since helped us significantly arranging our insurances and superannuation. Tom and the team provide exceptional financial services and couldn’t recommend them enough.

After having difficulties securing a home loan with my own bank of 15 years, Tom Hancock couldn't have made the process easier. I was thankfully referred to Tom from a previous colleague in the Real Estate sector and from the initial point of contact to settlement on my block and building contracts, the team at Sydney City Financial Planning has made the process exceptionally transparent, efficient and stress free. They provide you with constant updates and reminders, easy documentation to work through and are very easy to access via phone, all of which i have found to be a breath of fresh air compared to previous brokers. I am looking forward to using Tom and Janette in the future and will happily recommend them to friends, family and clients of mine moving forward.
