Manning Stainton MAB review - first time buyers

Giles was extremely helpful in his communication, as first time buyers we found it so useful to be given a clear understanding of the buying process, and the differences & minutiae of a mortgage application.

We feel that Giles went above and beyond to be available for phonecalls whenever needed, assisting with additional documents not central to the mortgage offer itself, and being patient and understanding through any questions we may have had/information we may have not understood initially.

We will be recommending MAB and Giles to friends and family in the future for certain!

I can't fault the excellent service…

I can't fault the excellent service from Thomas Hawley and Elizabeth Bell. From start to finish, they walked my husband and I through the application process step by step. It can be quite daunting purchasing a new home, especially your first, but Thomas and Elizabeth were always contactable for advice (even when Thomas was on holiday - sorry Thomas). I would highly recommend them and can't thank them enough for taking us to the finish line. We complete next week!!!

Sunjay Chauhan and Dominic Challinor…

Sunjay Chauhan and Dominic Challinor both recently supported us with our mortgage renewal. They were knowledgable, approachable and took the time to explain the process clearly. Every meeting was followed up an email which was really useful and when action was required from us they communicated this really clearly so we knew exactly what we were doing.

Warm, professional service.

My mortgage and related insurances were handled by Sunjay Chauhan and Dominic Challinor, both of whom were professional, efficient, caring, and knowledgeable. I got excellent advice from Sunjay, initially, covering the global economic climate and its effect on the property market within the UK, through to my own monthly finances and what to do to optimise my experience as a buyer and homeowner. Dominic then followed up and took great care to keep me informed, always inviting any questions or concerns I might have in a polite but genuine way. I highly recommend Sunjay and Dominic.

It was a joy to work with Sunjay Chauhan and Dominic Challinor again when we needed to find new mortgage for our home. Sunjay listened closely to all our concerns and gave us highly personalised, professional advice. It was a great reassurance to receive advice we knew we could trust and to have the process made as simple as possible for us.

We had an excellent experience working with Sunjay as our mortgage broker for our first home. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. Buying a property and arranging a mortgage can be stressful, but Sunjay made everything feel straightforward and manageable.

He took the time to fully understand our situation and explained all the available mortgage options clearly, without any pressure. What really stood out was his patience and attention to detail — he was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and ensure we understood each step of the process.

Sunjay worked hard to secure a competitive mortgage deal and handled everything efficiently, which gave us real peace of mind. His communication was outstanding throughout, and we always felt like we were in safe hands.

We genuinely appreciated his honesty, professionalism, and dedication to getting the best outcome possible. We
would highly recommend Sunjay to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy mortgage broker. Thank you again for all your help and support!

I recently remortgaged and had a great experience working with Vicky and Dominic. They were both professional, friendly, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Everything was explained clearly, communication was excellent, and they kept me updated every step of the way.

What could have been a stressful experience felt smooth and straightforward thanks to their support and advice. They were always available to answer questions and made sure I understood all of my options.

I’d highly recommend Vicky and Dominic to anyone looking for trustworthy and knowledgeable mortgage advisors. Excellent service from start to finish!
