Brilliant Money Reviews 

Brilliant Money were excellent from start to finish. They laid out the process and fees clearly and set expectations from the start. They are well established and clearly have strong relationships with the mortgage companies they work for, enabling them to add that essential personal touch to an impersonal application process.
Philip and Gareth were a pleasure to work with, their communication was excellent and they kept me informed all the way through. The whole process was much faster and smoother than I anticipated and they secured me a deal with a specialist lender that suited my needs. Thanks to all the Brilliant team!

Excellent support and responsiveness from the team getting us a good deal. Particular thanks to Sam Telford - polite, professional and deeply kind. Helped to navigate the whole process and I felt like he genuinely cared.

The consultant Phillip Snelling was very helpful, honest and informative.

David and Gareth were incredibly helpful through the process of getting a new mortgage. They were professional, efficient and responsive. I would definitely recommend for future

Brilliant Money took our application on from a broker half way through to help us secure a more specialised mortgage. Start to finish we've had fast and sometimes late night responses keeping everything moving smoothly. Every member of the team we spoke with made things very clear and straight forward even when we hit a few hurdles, no complaints at all.

Philip and Gareth were exceptionally helpful at every stage.
Would highly recommend

We take this opportunity to thank Sam and Gareth who have been fabulous and absolutely “Brilliant “ from start to finish for our process to remortgage our house. We are very glad and grateful to have been recommended by our friend Graham to go with Brilliant Money! Thank you again Sam, Gareth and Brilliant Team.
Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2026.

I was far from a convenient fast-track client in a comfortable circumstances, and I had very little hope – being let down by three brokers. My case was also time-sensitive, because there were 16 potential buyers eager to snatch my little flat, which I was renting and which has been my precious home of 18 years. Philip Snelling made my dream come true: I had an AIP within 2 hours from our first conversation and the mortgage offer, better than I ever expected, within 3 weeks. I can only add, that the Brilliant Money team, with their second to none human-centric approach, is a rare treasure in today’s world of box ticking, automated responses, and uncomplicated efforts. I shall be eternally grateful to Philip, Gareth and Andy – for hearing me out and helping me to buy and thus, retain my home.

We worked with Gareth who was great at understanding what we needed and offered great advice, and managed to get us a great deal from our lender
Many thanks again

Philip explained everything really well and ended up talking himself out of a commission as he said that he couldn’t beat the deal I was already being offered by my current lender

Start - Finish the advise and support has been great.
Would recommend anyone looking for their first time mortgage to contact Brilliant Money.

Dave Shuck was ‘brilliant’ - he certainly lived up to the company name, and more.

From advising us while we were based in Singapore to finalising our mortgage when we returned to the UK, Dave was on-hand every step of the way providing expert advice, guidance and a fair amount of hand holding too!

Thoroughly impressed with his expertise, dedication and thoughtfulness.

Thank you, Dave you’re one of the good guys in what can sometimes seem a hostile world. We appreciate you and wish you the very best of everything.

David, Emma and baby Oliver.

Brilliant Money, in particular David and Gareth, have been nothing but astounding.
By far both are the best mortgage brokers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. At some point, our new mortgage was declined, but thanks to David’s tireless efforts, our appeal was successful and we were able to get the mortgage offer back. He was supportive, kind and reassuring during a very stressful time. I am very happy with David's and Gareth's services and would highly recommend them to anyone else going through similar situations with their mortgages.

The team at brilliant money were extremely helpful and friendly, quick to respond to emails and available on the phone

They did good legwork as brokers as I was in quite a niche position as a borrower and am happy with the result they found me

Excellent all round. Great communication from both David and Gareth who are highly personable and a pleasure to deal with. David listened to what I needed and offered products to suit me. He is knowledgeable and explained everything clearly without jargon. At the 11th hour there was an issue with the conveyancer and Gareth made the extra efforts to contact them to try to move things forward, which seemed to get the process pushed through quicker than the conveyancer initially advised. Thanks guys for the brilliant service.

Very impressed with Brilliant Money. They reviewed my individual situation and recommended I consider staying with my current provider even though there was nothing in it for them. Exactly the sort of objective advice I was looking for. Recommended.

Very complex case for a very important client. Philip Snelling managed the whole process through from start to finish extremely professionally, efficiently and effectively. Communication throughout the process was flawless. Top notch service from start to finish would definitely recommend.

Ensured we got the best product

Philip was really knowledgeable about the different products available to us as expats and clearly explained what our options were. We're really happy with the service he and his colleague Gareth provided in helping us to secure a new lender.

Sam T was so professional and helpful, giving me lots of information and choices for me to make an informed decision. He was also very easy to talk to and I really appreciate his help.
