Excellent service
Thanks Damian for all your experience, expertise and advice in helping us find our happy place.
Highly recommended.

Excellent service, secured mortgage despite foreign nationals and only few years being in the UK
My husband and I are currently in the process of buying a house and have had a stellar experience with Matthew from needingadvice.co.uk. As foreign nationals with less than three years of address history, we faced challenges in securing a mortgage. We had used other mortgage services before, but none were successful, especially since one of us has less than two years of work experience in the UK. However, this proved to be no challenge for Matthew, who helped us secure a mortgage offer.
Matthew has been incredibly helpful in navigating the obstacles we faced during our house purchasing journey, including multiple failed transactions and job changes. We are grateful for his consistent support and the solutions he provided to overcome the challenges in relation to securing a mortgage offer. We highly recommend his services, particularly for foreign nationals with less than 2-3 years of work and address history in the UK.
I found it hard to get a mortgage elsewhere
I found it hard to get a mortgage approved with other brokers. Then, I reached out to Damian. He was incredibly quick to respond and found me an offer very swiftly. During the transfer, I encountered some issues and needed extensions on the mortgage, which Damian handled seamlessly. He was always easy to get hold of and went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Damian to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient mortgage broker
Sumaiya Patel went above and beyond…
Sumaiya Patel went above and beyond providing me with the mortgage advice I needed due to my unusual circumstances. She was helpful and friendly to chat to, which made the process a joy instead of a chore.
Top service
I've just used Damian again for a remortgage. Top service again...always VERY fast to respond to emails and looked for new deals to get my the cheapest rate right up until the point I needed to switch and sign. Highly recommend.
Very efficient service and reliable.
Damian was excellent
Damian was excellent. We would happily recommend him to any one else. We are in our 60’s and we were looking for a mortgage and one with no early repayment charges. Other mortgage advisers told us that this was not possible. They were wrong. Damian found just what we were looking for. He was quick and efficient and did not cost too much. What more could we ask for.
A Single Skin Wall Construction
A big thank you to Damian Youell of (needingadvice.co.uk) After trying other brokers , who all said it was not possible to get a mortgage agreed on a property with a single skin wall construction. He made it possible with a high street lender at a competitive price. A fast friendly service , I highly recommend.
A very big thank you to Sumaiya Patel…
A very big thank you to Sumaiya Patel for your assistance throughout the whole process. I will certainly recommend your services to anyone I know who needs it. You made everything so easy, brilliant and professional and you deserve more than 5 ⭐️. It was an absolute pleasure to have you on the case. Thank you, Ayesha and Yaseen.
I initially went ahead with another…
I initially went ahead with another broker who said they could base my mortgage off my latest year accounts, this application later got declined as the lender said they only worked an an average over the last two years. I spoke to Damian and he said they can do it using my latest years account, he got it agreed within 24 hours and I received the mortgage offer the same day as he submitted the application.
Would highly recommend.
Extremely happy customer
The whole process of my mortgage in to retirement just took 2 weeks with Damian and I got the offer, while my long time broker failed over few months.
Damian acted extremely fast on my mortgage and through the process stayed positive, to the point and also friendly.
Review from "maria" amazing from start…
Review from "maria" amazing from start to finish. very easy userface to use and they were fast and relible also and very cooperative. 5 stars for this brilliant company. The receptionist was also wonderful and the staff. Very easy also to upload documents and they were very professional through the whole process till completion
Incredible service! 5* thank you thank you
We were about to give up buying the property we loved because our previous broker couldn't find us a mortgage deal with less than 25% deposit (!), because the house had an annex and we wanted to be able to rent the annex out as an AirBnB.
After reading all the stellar reviews for NeedingAdvice, we contacted Damian and his team. Less than 24h later, he had found us a mortgage deal with consent to let with a lender that didn't require a crazy deposit!
My pre-settled status then became an issue, but as soon as the bank changed its rules, Damian got back in touch and got the ball rolling again. And we have just received our mortgage offer! :)
Thank you so much for being so quick, efficient and professional!
If you think you have a difficult case, don't hesitate, NeedingAdvice will do everything they can to help you secure a mortgage!
BTL Mortgage with a Short Lease
After speaking to several mortgage brokers who were unable to arrange a mortgage for me due to the property being a BTL with only a 57-year lease Damian from NeedingAdvice was able to arrange a mortgage offer for me with a high street lender.
Thank You Damian for this, I really appreciate it.
Excellent service from Connor and…
Excellent service from Connor and Damian, my first BTL mortgage made so easy. I have started recommending them to friends and family and will be using them again soon
Absolutely fantastic service 5*
Absolutely fantastic service 5* all day long, damian and miles kept in constant contact and they couldn't have made my Remortgage any easier, mostly done via WhatsApp and a couple of phone calls but honestly I could not have been in better hands and everything was done and completed within a couple of weeks even with a bank holiday to contend with, highly recommend and in fact I'm already passing their number on to friends and family.
Thank you Damian for your professional help and support
Damian was professional throughout the mortgage process. He gave me the correct advice I needed to secure my home which was a concessionary purchase from a family member.
Mortgage with pre-settled
Mathew gave great advice and we got our mortgage very quickly. Having pre-settled status and only just started our employment after moving from another country. Highly recommended!
Incredible customer service!
After being told by another broker we were unable to get a mortgage we were recommended Damian and his team. They were efficient and thorough from the start and quickly found us a mortgage offer that worked for us. I also changed employment mid application and this wasn’t an issue. They’ve responded to my emails/calls in a timely manner and resolved any issues we’ve had. I couldn’t thank them enough!
Got mortgage on pre settled status and 5% deposit
Damian Youell at Needing advice organized a mortgage for my wife and I.
We are on pre settled status, with a 5% deposit and with less than 3 years address history in the UK.
The service we received was great. I would highly recommend.
