Highly Recommend
Would highly recommend IMA and Brian in particular. Brian was very knowledgeable and helpful and provided a great service to me as a first time buyer. He was regularly in contact, very responsive and even helped chase my solicitors for updates as well. I can highly recommend Brian and will certainly be using IMA again in the future.
5 stars service: Rhys Weaver!
I can't recommend Rhys Weaver highly enough! He was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout my remortgaging process, always keeping me updated and securing the best offer whenever interest rates improved. His expertise and proactive approach made the whole experience stress-free. Thank you for your amazing service!

David Burdett - great proactive, professional service
David Burdett has helped us secure new mortgage deals twice now over a multi year period. He's great to deal with and his proactiveness ensured we got the best deal available to us in plenty of time. I'll be engaging David again when we're next up for switching our product - thanks Dave!
First Time Buyers Experience
We have recently just completed purchasing our first property and used Ideal Mortgage Advisors to help navigate available products and the wider process. Brian was amazing and incredibly helpful. We will be using them in the future and can not recommend them enough.
Alex is an absolutely fantastic mortgage adviser
I was recommended to contact Alex by a family member and he has been absolutely amazing! From start to finish. It was my first time buying a property so I was a bit anxious and even though there were problems along the way with mortgage providers, due to the fact that the properly was so old, Alex handled it all quickly, professionally and very kindly. I can honestly 100% recommend him. He even kept in touch with me and my solicitor throughout the buying process and continued to be so helpful. I am so happy with my new home and so grateful to him 😊
Amazing customer service
I had a quick response to my enquiry. Brian was amazing. I was listened to when we discussed finances and what sort of mortgage I wanted. Always at the end of the phone and email. Willing to talk me through everything and answer all my questions and concerns. Really good service and would highly recommend.

Rhys is brilliant
Rhys has handled my mortgage twice now, once for my first property and now for my remortgage. He has been brilliant on both occasions, patient, understanding and answers any questions with ease. Can't recommend enough!
Excellent client care and service
We picked Ideal Mortgage to help us with our first house purchase as they came highly recommended by many of our friends, and for good reason - Brian Donovan has been our adviser, and beyond succesfully securing the loan we needed for our purchase, he has felt more like a guide through the ardous process of buying a property. He was always available for discussions and has given us sage advice throughout - an invaluable service, particulalry for someone inexperienced like us. Thank you Brian, and the Ideal Mortgage team!
Recommended 200%
When we first decided to purchase our own property, we inevitably had a million of questions. Asking a friend, who recently bought hers, about the processes she stopped me and said... " you have to speak with Brian...he is brilliant and he will explain everything. Totally recommend him".
A few weeks ago we finally finished our journey in buying our property, with the help of Brian and just like my friend, that will also be my advice.
"Speak to Brian. He will assist and guide you with his unique and kind way throughout"

Exceptional service -would 100% recommend
Andrew provided us with an exceptional service - positive and pro-active. This is the 3rd time we have used Ideal Mortgage Advisers and I am exceptionally happy with the service they provide. Knowledgeable and quick to respond to queries. I would, and do, recommend them to friends who are seeking professional and informed mortgage advice.
Andrew was truly excellent throughout
Andrew was truly excellent throughout. I’d been given poor advice my a previous broker who then stopped returning my calls. Andrew stepped in and negotiated the best possible mortgage deal for me at a time when interest rates were super changeable. He was clear and responsive and basically performed some kind of magic to get the most out of my limited funds. I’m not sure the deal would have gone through without him. Courteous, friendly and patient! A total star!
Professional and efficient service
Professional and efficient service. They have responded quickly to my requests and been flexible when I've needed more time.
