I can’t recommend Billal Anjum from Dream Lease highly enough! We needed a lease car sorted in an incredibly tight timeframe, and Billal went above and beyond to deliver. Not only did he find us a car, but it was far better specced and at a fantastic price—truly exceeding our expectations.
Despite facing a few hurdles with the finance brokers (separate to Dream Lease) due to our very unique personal circumstances, Billal’s dedication to helping us get across the line was outstanding. Although he didn’t really need to be; he was with us every step of the way, always ensuring we felt supported and reassured. His promptness, approachability, and genuine care made a world of difference, alleviating our concerns and keeping us confident throughout the process.
Billal’s commitment to putting our interests first was clear from start to finish. Thanks to him, we’re now driving our dream car, and moving forward, I’ll only ever go to Billal for any future lease vehicle needs. Thank you so much for your unwavering support and fantastic service!Date of experience: 16 January 2025
Aaron at Dream Lease was very helpful sending me quotes for 4 options I wanted to consider on the same car. He explained everything to me with a pleasant and professional manner. Haven’t got the car yet, 2 weeks from order date, but the whole process so far was great!
