excellent service
Sid made the experience very easy and helped us along the way with any questions that we had.

Dan was extremely insightful and taught us a lot about the process. He made us feel at ease about the process and I would happily recommend him to anyone.
Amazing service from Jamie and Zoe
My colleague was so happy to get his mortgage offer and recommended me to Jamie from Active Mortgages. Instantly, I received a call from Jamie who opened a file for me and started working hard on it. He is very calm, polite, and understanding. He reassured me that he will get me a mortgage.
In this process, both Jamie and Zoe were very active and quick in dealing with the bank and the paper work. They followed the case closely and informed me once they got any update. I did not have to chase them.
I definitely recommend Jamie and Zoe to myself first in my next project and to anybody who needs a mortgage. They put money in my hand and I owe them a lot.

Exceptional Service by Simon
Simon was recommended through a friend, who has experience in securing expat mortgages. What Simon says, Simon delivers! Through my previous experience in dealing with other brokers, Active Mortgages was my last option and I thought I would try my luck, surprisingly I can't believe he was able to get me a mortgage. Simon has a wealth of experience which I found was very valuable and knows the market very well. As an expat it's not always simple and I can't stress how supportive and helpful Simon has been throughout the process. Simon is very proactive and sticks to his promises, being abroad Simon was available through alternative methods of communication which made my process so much simpler. Simon, thank you so much for your support and for the readers if you have read this review to the end, this is the person you should be speaking to or no doubt anyone from this company.

Dan does mortgages!!
Dan does mortgages!!
Got my first time buyer mortgage application approved in the shortest possible time.
He asked all the questions in our first call which gave me confidence that he knows what is to be done to ensure success. Received advice based on my situation and circumstance. I didn't have to chase ever as he promptly responded to each of my query.
Couldn't ask for a better end to 2023. Thanks a million Dan!
Brilliant Service
Sid has been great throughout the process of switching my mortgage to a new lender. He’s been very responsive and proactive, and extremely knowledgeable. It’s taken so much of the stress away as I’m easily overwhelmed by tasks like this!

Mortgage Renewal
Dan has been a great help and kept communication very clear and prompt. Dan helped us get a good deal on our renewal and has given us great advice to get an even better product next time. The process was seamless, including setting up our protection policies. Thanks Dan, we will definitely be in touch coming up to our next renewal.
Remortgage
The service that we received from Dan from start to finish was brilliant. We weren’t sure whether or not we’d be able to get a mortgage but Dan worked with us to secure us a deal. He was supportive throughout and I have no doubt that we will be back in touch again once our current mortgage deal ends.
Hassle free mortgage advice.
Philip Keith is super helpful, he accommodate for the difficult situations and tries to resolve any issues you may encounter during the process, making the whole mortgage experience as less stressful as it can be.
I can’t recommend him enough.
Thank you Philip for everything.
