Highly recommended!
Mortgage Advice Bureau have been a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Thomas Hawley, supported by Elizabeth Bell, went beyond all expectations making it such an easy process. We have been kept well informed and supported at every stage and they’re always on hand to answer any questions. Friendly manner, professional and very knowledgeable I can’t recommend Tom and the Mortgage Advice Bureau team strongly enough

We had a great experience with our mortgage advisor Steve McConville and Mohammed Shoaib. They were always reachable, incredibly helpful, and took the time to explain everything clearly at every stage of the process. No question was ever too small, and they were patient and reassuring throughout. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine support made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy mortgage advice.

Great Conveyancing
Vicky Alexander and Dominic Chancellor helped me to find a mortgage and go through the whole procedure smoothly. Explained everything in detail at every step. It was great help for me as a first time buyer. Recommend them with full confidence.

I had a great experience with my mortgage advisor, Thomas Hawley. He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond to any questions I had throughout the process. He explained everything clearly and made what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable.
I’d also like to mention Elizabeth Bell, his administrator, who was equally helpful and responsive. She kept everything well organised and ensured communication was smooth at every stage.
I would highly recommend Thomas and Elizabeth to anyone looking for professional and reliable mortgage advice.

Two first time buyers lives made much easier
Our mortgage advisor Thomas Hawley has been excellent, incredibly attentive and easy to talk to - made the whole process a lot less stressful by breaking it down for us. Himself and Elizabeth Bell have gone above and beyond just helping us with our mortgage, ensuring that the whole sale goes smoothly and even helping us budget. Invaluable. Thanks guys.

First time buyer
As a first time buyer, initially I was overwhelmed with the process and what it entailed.
Thomas Hawley (especially) with input from Elizabeth Bell made it so much easier for me.
The discussions and appointments were at my convenience around my busy life.
I have not felt rushed and I felt that I could ask any questions and be honest in what matters to me.
Thomas is very personable and friendly, which made me feel really comfortable to be able to have open discussions about my concerns and worries, which he has helped to settle down.
The process of submitting all the evidence and information was very straightforward, even though I had a lot of extra elements to explore and find in terms of slightly unusual deposit arrangements.
Thank you so much for being so patient with me!

Amazing experience
We can’t recommend Thomas and Elizabeth highly enough. As first-time buyers, the process felt daunting at first, but Thomas took the time to explain everything clearly and in a way we could genuinely understand. No question ever felt silly, and nothing was too much trouble.
Both Thomas and Elizabeth went above and beyond to support us, even offering late evening Teams calls to work around our awkward schedules, which we really appreciated. We felt fully supported throughout the entire process and always knew we were in safe hands. Thank you both for making what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and reassuring.

Excellent, friendly team
We had Thomas Hawley and Elizabeth Bell as our advisors and they were both excellent, making what would have been a very confusing experience run smoothly and surprisingly pleasantly. Definitely recommend.

Efficient and Knowledgable Service
We were able have late evening appointments over TEAMS.
We felt they were very knowledgeable about what they were offering, polite and easy to communicate with. The email before the first appointment detailed the approximate duration of the meeting with subsequent emails detailing the policy we had agreed upon.
We were happy with the price of the policy and the ease and quickness of how it was to get the application processed.

Excellent Service
Our mortgage advisors and support team, Shannon and Cassie, have been brilliant throughout the process. Shannon made herself available throughout the day and well into the night. Cassie has been diligent, responsive and pro-active throughout. They have been instrumental in getting a quick mortgage approval.
Both of them have made the process of securing a mortgage easy for three first time buyers. I highly recommend.

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.
