Joseph Harros
As first-time buyers, we had very little knowledge of the mortgage process and found it quite daunting, especially with rising interest rates and uncertainty in the property market. We’re extremely grateful to Dinah and Jo for their support and would highly recommend UK Moneyman to any first-time buyer looking for a professional, knowledgeable and supportive mortgage broker.

As first-time buyers, we had very little knowledge of the mortgage process. We changed properties along the way, and our circumstances made the mortgage process more complex than we initially expected. Dinah and Jo were absolutely brilliant throughout. We would definitely recommend UK Moneyman to anyone looking to set up a mortgage.

Leo and Lizzi were exceptionally helpful. Leo gave us great advise, not just on products available, but on things like bidding on properties, whether we were likely to be approved for more complicated properties etc. Lizzi was very communicative and thorough in processing our application, and after our first sale fell through we didn't hesitate to use UK Moneyman again. Thanks so much to Leo and Lizzi!
