New home

We have recently bought a new house and Vicky Alexander and Dominic chalinor were amazing.
They helped us every step of the way and kept us informed with everything too.
Vicky and Dominic went above and beyond to make our experience as smooth as possible.
I would highly recommend using the mortgage advice bureau as they were very professional.

First time buying made easy

Everything handled for me promptly and expertly, all questions and things I wasn't sure of answered and cleared up clearly and succinctly. For my first house purchase, I don't seem to feel the stress that most people report and I would say most of this comes down to the expert I've been given by MAP. Thomas Hawley and Elizabeth Bell have been fantastic the whole way through.

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better mortgage advisor. From start to finish, Emma and her team have been absolutely amazing. She explained every step of the process clearly and took the time to make sure I fully understood all my options, which made what can be a stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable.

She was always available to answer questions, no matter how small, and responded quickly, professionally, and with real patience. Her knowledge, transparency, and genuine care really stood out.

I felt completely supported throughout the entire process and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, informative, and trustworthy mortgage advisor. Truly outstanding service.

Excellent staff and very helpful service

Emma Cousins at the Mortgage advice bureau was excellent and really helped me through each step, going above and beyond! It is also great that they offer the Just Move In service which helps navigate and sort all the niggly jobs of moving in like sorting providers out for utilities and broadband, thanks to Elizabeth for sorting this and other help.

Great experience for first time buyers

Me and my partner are in the process of buying our first house and I can’t recommend Nathaniel Harding and Lucy Simpson enough. The process has been smooth sailing from start to finish. Being first time buyers we had lots of questions and they were super quick to get back to us on all of our queries big or small. Would definitely recommend.

Top marks, great service!

Steve and Shoaib have both been excellent throughout.

Steve's initial steer through the various options for different insurers etc. was extremely clear and prioritised my requirements providing a range of pricing options. Everything was dealt with in a very timely and rapid manner and I felt informed throughout.

After being handed over to Shoaib to continue contact and enactment of policies plus further guidance and question answering, I felt I was in safe hands throughout the process. Shoaib always responded very quickly and always seemed to have time and be happy to help with any queries I had.

Couldn't have asked for a better service or a more personable one. Thanks both.

The whole experience of applying for a mortgage has been made so easy thanks to the help I received from Elizabeth Bell and Thomas Hawley. They made what could have been a really daunting experience super easy. Would totally recommend using them.

We greatly appreciated the assistance with mortgage, home insurance and income protection applications

We greatly appreciated the assistance provided with our mortgage application, home insurance, and income protection arrangements.
I would particularly like to highlight the excellent support from our mortgage adviser, Sophie Poole. She (but also the other team members of the Manning Stainton Mortgage Advice Bureau) made the entire process smooth and significantly less stressful for us, especially as we do not have expertise in this area.
Thank you!

Excellent service from start to finish.

Excellent service from start to finish.

I’ve had a really positive experience with MAB during my mortgage process. Dominic Challinor and adviser Vicky Alexander were both outstanding throughout - clear, professional, and incredibly supportive at every stage. Communication was excellent, responses were always quick, and everything was handled efficiently, which made the whole process feel fast and well-organised.

They explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, kept me well informed, and were always available when I had questions. What could have been a stressful experience was made straightforward and reassuring.

I’d happily recommend Dominic, Vicky, and the wider MAB team to anyone looking for reliable and knowledgeable mortgage advisers. Thank you again for all your help.
