Thank you Sid
Our mortgage broker Sid Rana, was excellent throughout the process. Despite the frequent changes in interest rates and the withdrawal of mortgage products, he always ensured we were updated and worked exceptionally hard to secure us the best possible deal. His efforts on our behalf will save us thousands of pounds. We will forever be grateful to Sid for advocating for us, looking after us and guiding us through the purchase of our first property. His excellence is doubly impressive considering the current financial crisis.

Laura is an asset to Active Financial and was able to support us when we were let down by another broker. I can’t recommend Gary, Laura and their team enough. Without their guidance and support, we’d have lost our dream home. Thank you again!
Thanks everything for the great team
Thanks everything for the great team. They are always happy to help with any problem as soon as possible. Great service.
Dan and First-time buyer
I was the first-time buyer and Dan helped me to find the best 5-year fixed term deal. Due to my residency circumstance, just two High Street banks were able to give me a mortgage and he managed to find the best one for me in a very short period. He is very kind and patient and absolutely recommend him.
Dan,many thanks for your assistance and I am very grateful for your efforts.
Knowledgeable and patient. Highly recommend.
Our mortgage broker was so knowledgeable and most importantly patient with us as first time buyers. I highly recommend them, especially in these difficult times. They got the best possible rate for us.
Thank you Philip! Five star service with minimum fuss!
Philip has been professional, extremely knowledgeable and reliable during what could have been a much more stressful time for first time buyers!
Philip walked us through the whole process from placing an offer to Mortgage Application Submitted!
Highly recommended for anyone looking to finance a property purchase with minimum stress.

Iv worked with Sarah on a refinance and a new holiday let purchase. I wouldn’t use any other broker.
Once again thank you.
Thank you Tim!
Thank you Tim!! You’ve been amazing in helping us get our first mortgage, we thought it may never happen after saving for a long time & not so great credit history but he done it, and got us a pretty decent mortgage. Tim was easy to contact, always got back to us promptly and kept us up to date with what was going on. We will definitely be in touch when it’s time to remortgage.
Highly Recommended
Sid was great throughout the whole mortgage process. He was highly professional, very informative and great at finding the right product for us. He was readily available at all times and great at explaining each part of the process as we went through it. I highly recommend Sid to anyone looking for a mortgage broker!
Highly recommended
Really can’t recommend Daniel Knott at Active finance highly enough. As first time buyers we had lots of questions and Daniel was always available with honest and sound advice. He worked with us to understand our position and what we wanted to achieve despite us going back and forth numerous times. When we found our perfect home the whole process was made easy and quick as the groundwork had been done upfront and our application was approved within seconds. We couldn’t be happier with the service provided.
Professional and personal.
Very personal, my adviser Sid Rana is first class in every way. Great to speak with, highly professional, non-pushy, informative, very experienced and a god send. I highly recommend this firm and in particular Sid Rana to anyone looking for a financial broker, in my case for mortgages.
