First Timer Buyer
I was a first time buyer with very little knowledge of the whole process. IMA really helped guide me through it. They made sure I had the best deal, repeatedly checking and coming back with better products when the interest rates changed.
I would highly recommend them. Great Experience.
Brian is brilliant
Brian is brilliant! He is always ahead of the curve and has helped me over many years to get the best deal going. He's responsive and friendly and I'd really recommend using him and Ideal Mortgage Advisors.
Excellent service for first-time buyers
David was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the entire process of buying our first home. He patiently answered all of our questions and clarified every concern we had, making what could have been a very stressful experience feel straightforward.
He was always responsive, efficient, and proactive. We especially appreciated that, during a period of rapidly changing mortgage rates, he moved everything forward as quickly as possible and helped us secure a very competitive rate before rates changed.

I wholeheartedly recommend Brian Donovan and Ideal Mortgage Advisers.
Our mortgage was particularly tricky and complex, but Brian’s expertise and dedication were exceptional, ultimately leading to a successful completion.
Brian was relentlessly proactive in managing the entire process. When we faced unforeseen complications and slow responses from third parties, he was outstanding at proactively chasing and escalating matters, ensuring that our critical deadlines were met and we didn't face unnecessary delays or costs.
He provided constant reassurance and strategic advice at every stage, skillfully navigating unexpected financial and administrative hurdles. If you need an adviser who combines deep knowledge with a tireless, hands-on approach to secure the best outcome for a difficult case, look no further than Brian. We are incredibly grateful for his tireless work.
