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…
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.
Great knowledge and service
I can't recommend Brian highly enough. Renewing our mortgage was a straight forward process. Brian provided great communication and knowledge of the mortgage market and products available.
Helpful, professional service
Rhys was supportive and helpful from start to finish, ensuring the smooth transition of our mortgage. Would definitely recommend.
Amazing support to buy our first home
We were recommended Brian from a family member to help us with our first home. Brian has been amazing throughout the whole process, explaining things in layman's terms, providing great advice and always being there when we needed him. In addition to this, Brian went above and beyond supporting us when our solicitor was delaying the process and causing stress. I would definitely recommend Brian and the rest of the team for your home purchase!
If Carlsberg did mortgage advisors it would be Brian!!!
I have been using Brian for almost 10 years now. He responds to every email instantly and picks up the phone when ever I call. In the past I have had situations where the mortgage provider pulled out and Brian has worked his magic and sorted it out even getting me compensation from a fault of the provider. I don’t ever recommend people. However, i recommend Brian to everyone and anyone. To the point where my financial advisor tried to get me to go with their in house guy and I refused. if Carlsberg did Mortgage advisors it would be Brian!!!
Excellent Mortgage Advisers
We were recommended Alex by a family member and he was exceptional throughout the whole process obtaining both a residential and buy to let mortgage. He was very quick to respond to our queries, and there were many because our first buyers removed their offer after 10 weeks. He also helped us chase the solicitors and estate agents which helped with getting us to the point of exchange of contracts. Rhys was also fantastic helping us sort out our insurance cover as well. We would definitely recommend the team at IMA to anyone who is going through the house buying process.
Fantastic - highly recommended
We are first time buyers and worked with David - we were in great hands, he made a daunting process feel straightforward and was professional and courteous throughout. He renegotiated a better deal for us when rates changed favourably too. I'll 100% be recommending him to friends looking to buy.
