Steve was brilliant
Steve was brilliant. He was very informative and was able to find me the best deal for me. The buying and selling process wasn't quite straight forward but Steve was always on hand to update any information and provide the best advise.
He sorted my new mortgage and new life insurance policy.
Would definitely recommend and use again.

Emma and Elizabeth are absolutely good at what they do. We'd previously been told by 4 different mortgage advisors that we wouldn't be able to get any offers because my wife was a bank staff and was on maternity leave. Friends who had recently been helped by MAB adviced us to get in touch and within one week of Emma submitting our application we had our mortgage offer in our hands. Communications with Elizabeth was fabulous and we felt really supported throughout the process. Can't recommend MAB enough, we'd give 7 stars if we could

Professional 5* Service by Steve & Shoaib
Myself and my daughter recently applied for a Buy to Let mortgage through Manning Stainton.
Steve McConville was our Mortgage Advisor and found us various mortgage products for consideration.
Steve advised us which of these products would be best for our circumstances which had quite a lot of challenges. Steve was very professional and friendly throughout the process and we felt he gave us a great deal of guidance in making our final decision.
Once we had chosen our mortgage product Mohammed Shoaib (Steve’s Right Hand Man) supported and advised us throughout the process. He was attentive, polite and professional and replied to all of our e-mails in a timely manner.
Steve McConville gave us further advice regarding Life Insurance, Income Protection and House Insurance and made the whole process very easy for us.
We found Steve and Shoaib (Mohammed) to be friendly, informative, and reassuring throughout the whole process and would highly recommend both of them - a fantastic team and a professional 5* Service. Thank You - Julia K

As a 1st time buyer I was a bit worried about securing a mortgage. MAB made it so easy, and with Nathaniel and Lucy both sorting it out for me, as well as keeping me informed and up to date on everything, it was a load off my mind. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Steve and Mohammed have been fantastic in supporting and navigating me through this process. They have both been attentive, informative, professional and polite and kept me informed and up to date every step of the way. They always respond in a timely manner, especially Mohammed (Shoaib) who is always at the end of the phone with his friendly, informative, reassuring manner. I would highly recommend both of them with anything related to a house move (mortgages, life cover, illness cover, home insurance etc) they take the stress away and are just a brilliant supportive team. Thank you both for all your hard work, Jayne (Collingham, Leeds).

Steve McConville was simply brilliant!
I couldn’t recommend Steve McConville more! He recently helped me source a buy-to-let mortgage and was fantastic throughout, ensuring we secured the best rate for my situation. He was extremely informative, making sure we understood everything and had the necessary support at every step. He made the whole process much easier which is credit to his efficiency and knowledge.
His assistant Shoaib was brilliant, providing us with weekly updates and still continues to check in with us even after the mortgage offer was received, he was always quick to responded and extremely organised. I’ve found both Steve and Shoaib to be friendly, efficient and hardworking. A real attribute to the team.

Coverage made easy for even rare genetic conditions
Despite the rarity of my medical condition, I was able to secure insurance with the policy and cover that best fit me.

The best mortgage advisors you can get
My contact with MAB started with Giles Nightingale. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. When he went on leave my case was proactively taken over by another excellent advisor Vicky Alexander who is supported by equally helpful Dominic Challinor. A special shout out to Vicky as she was super supportive all through the process. My case was a little difficult but Vicky was able to get me one of the best rates in the market. I would definitely refer them to my friends and family.
