Mortgage Product Switch
Dave helped me through the process of my mortgage product switch and provided clear guidance and advice throughout, to ensure a smooth transition onto my new deal. Would thoroughly recommend.
Rhys is amazing
Rhys is amazing, he is alway available to on the telephone/ email when we have any questions / queries no matter how big or small. Rhys has helped us with our remortgages over the years and this time with a new purchase. We wouldn’t go anywhere else! Thank you Rhys for all your guidance.
I wholeheartedly recommend Brian…
I wholeheartedly recommend Brian Donovan and Ideal Mortgage Advisers.
Our mortgage was particularly tricky and complex, but Brian’s expertise and dedication were exceptional, ultimately leading to a successful completion.
Brian was relentlessly proactive in managing the entire process. When we faced unforeseen complications and slow responses from third parties, he was outstanding at proactively chasing and escalating matters, ensuring that our critical deadlines were met and we didn't face unnecessary delays or costs.
He provided constant reassurance and strategic advice at every stage, skillfully navigating unexpected financial and administrative hurdles. If you need an adviser who combines deep knowledge with a tireless, hands-on approach to secure the best outcome for a difficult case, look no further than Brian. We are incredibly grateful for his tireless work.

Brilliant experience
We worked with Brian on the mortgage for our first home, and he was exceptional through the entire process. He made us feel completely at ease during the purchase and went way above and beyond on many occasions. We're so grateful to have worked with him and cannot recommend him highly enough.

We had a fantastic experience working with Alex as our mortgage advisor. From start to finish, he provided a truly professional, responsive, and supportive service that made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward.
Alex took the time to clearly explain all of our options, ensuring we fully understood each step before moving forward. He was always available to answer questions, no matter how small, and his communication throughout was prompt and reassuring.
What really stood out was his dedication to finding the best deal for us. He went above and beyond to secure a mortgage that suited our needs and circumstances perfectly, and we felt confident we were in safe hands the entire time.
We would highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable mortgage advisor. Thank you again for all your help!
great mortgage advisors
Alex was very quick in finding a good deal for me, and kept me up-to-date with changing interest rates so that I can lock the best deal. Totally recommend.
Reliable and supportive
Brian has helped me with my last 3 mortgages - he engages early and gives impartial, well supported advice and ensures I fully understand all options. I will continue to use Brian for all future mortgages, it just becomes completely pain free and easy.

Great company
Brian was my advisor and he was absolutely amazing. Mind you the process started way before I even found my house. He was patient, professional, understanding, helpful. Thats just barely explaining how much he has helped. I have had my wobbly moments and I called him.Rhys sorted my insurance and was also amazing. Very grateful for their help in getting my shared ownership completed this year.🥳🥳🎉🎉
I used Ideal Mortgage Advisers
I used Ideal Mortgage Advisers, specifically Alex Kemp, who was recommended to me.
Alex and the Ideal team were fantastic from start to finish, they were patient, checked in regularly but not pushy. When I found a property I was ready to buy, the service I received was excellent from start to completion.
I would certainly recommend and use their services again.
Very easy renewal process
Very easy renewal process. Brian got in touch with me early on, clearly explained my options to me and continued to checked for updates to get me the best rate. All very seamless
10/10 Thanks Alex
Alex was more than helpful from day 1. Always went out of his way to help us buy our first house.
Can’t recommend Andrew highly enough
Can’t recommend Andrew highly enough. He has been excellent with supporting me through sorting my mortgage and most recently re-mortgage.
Used Ideal Mortgage Advisers for our…
Used Ideal Mortgage Advisers for our first mortgage and remortgage 5 years later. Truly great service, very helpful and informative throughout the whole process. Richard has been great for us and we won’t be going anywhere else for mortgage advice in the future.
Fantastic service
Great communication from start to finish - am very happy with mortgage advice and the deals that Rhys found. Very quick response and frequently updated on progress etc - highly recommend!
I honestly can’t recommend Alex highly…
I honestly can’t recommend Alex highly enough. He came recommended by a friend, and from day one he was fantastic. Over an 18-month selling and buying process (which was far from straightforward), he checked in regularly, kept me informed, and was always on hand to explain things clearly.
He worked hard to secure me the best rate available and went well above and beyond what I expected from a mortgage advisor. He did a huge amount of chasing with solicitors and estate agents, who, frankly, were pretty useless, and without him keeping everything moving, the whole process would have been even more stressful.
Professional, proactive, and genuine, he made a long and complicated process so much easier. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor.
