Absolutely brilliant experience and…
Absolutely brilliant experience and service. Could not recommend enough. After having previously spoke to another broker who was unable to help us we spoke with nick and Phil who were so helpful. They answered every question I had and were always happy to help. They were so easy to keep in contact with and explained everything to us as first time buyers so well.
Once our mortgage application was submitted we spoke with the admin team and couldn’t fault Emily in anyway. She was amazing at responding to emails and keeping us in the loop with everything going on.
Highly recommend!!!!

Hi Derek.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for your Adviser, Karen Ramirez. We really appreciate your kind words and are pleased to hear that Karen has helped you so much.
Could not be easier or simpler
Dan just makes the remortgage process so easy - it's a daunting proposition but he simplifies it so much, presumably does a load of donkey work on your behalf, and gives straight forward options that are easy to choose between.

Thank you very much for your review Tim. Rest assured, the donkey work is Dan's favourite part of the job 😉

Many thanks Ryan. Dan was more than happy to help.
Excellent Service and Care
Adrian and Jane made the whole remortgage experience smooth and straightforward.
They are a wonderful team to deal with!

Thank you so much to Chris Cornish from the St Albans branch who assisted my husband and I with our mortgage for our first property. We had a complicated case and Chris and his team went above and beyond to overcome logistical issues - and to ultimately ensure a smooth process resulting in the best mortgage offer. We would highly recommend IMAB, and thank you to Chris for rising to our challenge.

Thank you very much for your fantastic review of the iMAB team. We will ensure they're all aware of your comments, especially your adviser Chris Cornish.

Thank you Rachel. We will pass your comments to the team.
Great service
Chris helped us through the process of getting a mortgage agreed for our first house. He was incredibly responsive, and answered all of our questions about the whole house buying process.
When it came to making the mortgage application, he handled all the details, which was invaluable in dealing with complicated details in our pay slips like car allowance, bonuses etc. We were kept updated with the progress of the application, and it only took one week from sending off the application to getting the mortgage offer.
Definitely worth it for the advice and help alone, especially if you're new to buying property.
