Dan Knott has been so awesome journeying through the whole process with us. We have felt really supported every step of the way.

Dan was absolutely fantastic throughout our mortgage and protection journey. He was available at the drop of hat when needed and it really helped us secure the house we wanted due to his flexibility. I would highly recommend Dan to others in the property market!
I couldn’t ask for more!
Dan has been incredible from the get go. He was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so glad he was. We initially tried to use a well known new homes provider and had such a poor experience with them that left us nearly cancelling the sale of our house. We were up against a tight deadline and Dan was so efficient and managed to get everything sorted for us. He has been so transparent throughout the process and really put my mind at ease, I can’t recommend him enough.
Brilliant advisor.
As a young couple buying our first home, we were completely new to the world of mortgages and honestly felt quite overwhelmed at the start. From the very first interaction, Sid made the entire experience smooth, stress-free, and surprisingly enjoyable.
Sid was incredibly responsive—often getting back to us within minutes—and always made time to explain things in a way that was easy to understand. No jargon, no pressure, just clear, honest advice. We felt like we were in good hands from day one.
What really stood out to us was Sid’s communication. Whether it was a quick email, a phone call, or even a last-minute change, he kept us updated at every step. We never had to chase for answers. It felt like he genuinely cared about helping us secure the best deal, not just ticking boxes.
Despite a tight timeline on our side, Sid managed to turn things around remarkably quickly. From initial consultation to getting our mortgage offer, the whole process was efficient and well-managed. He guided us through each stage, flagged things we hadn’t even thought of, and always had a solution ready for any little hiccups that popped up along the way.
Most importantly, Sid never made us feel like any question was too small or silly—he really took the time to make sure we understood everything. That meant the world to us as first-time buyers.
We’re now happily settled into our new home, and we truly believe it wouldn’t have happened so smoothly without Sid’s support and expertise. We’ve already recommended him to friends and wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again in the future.
Thank you, Sid—you made a daunting process feel easy!
Helpful and knowledgeable
Sid has been very helpful and knowledgeable when advising us about mortgages and different types of insurances. Great communicator and very responsive too. Highly recommended!
Stress free and so much support
Could not thank Dan enough for his help and support through the whole Mortgage application process!! He has made the whole thing such a breeze and really reduced any stress this normally would have caused. Massively recommend him to anyone, especially first time buyers! Thanks again Dan!!
From Doubt to Keys in Hand – Grateful for Active Mortgages
I just completed my mortgage process, and I couldn’t be more grateful to my broker. From start to finish, he was professional, patient, and incredibly supportive.
There were a few hurdles along the way that made me doubt if it would even be possible, but he guided me through every step and made it happen—quickly and smoothly.
Thank you so much for your dedication and expertise. I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a reliable mortgage broke
We’re incredibly grateful
We have the pleasure of working with Daniel as our mortgage advisor, and we honestly couldn’t recommend him more highly. From the very beginning, he was fantastic in finding the right mortgage offers for us, taking the time to explain everything clearly and guide us through each step of the process.
Our situation was a bit complex due to some challenges with the property, but Daniel handled it all with professionalism and calm confidence. He not only managed the situation expertly but also helped manage our expectations throughout, which made a potentially stressful experience feel much more manageable.
Thanks to Daniel’s dedication and expertise, we were able to find the right solution and start the purchase process. We’re incredibly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for mortgage advice.
