Fantastic service from start to finish
We had an excellent experience working with Dan from start to finish. From our very first conversation, he was professional, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the entire mortgage process. Dan took his time to clearly explain all of our options, making what could have been a stressful and confusing experience feel straightforward and manageable.

Dan worked diligently to secure a mortgage deal that was well-suited to our financial situation, and I genuinely felt he had our best interests at heart throughout.

Simplified the process
Dan Knott was extremely helpful. He guided us through the entire process and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend him.
Excellent service
As first time buyers we had no idea about buying a house, the process, what was involved etc. However, Dan helped us secure our mortgage, explained the process and answered every question that we asked him without complaint. He has helped us through each step and we would highly recommend him as he is very professional and very down to earth. We wouldn't hesitate to use Dan again in future

Excellent Service from Start to Finish
I had a great experience with Active Mortgages from start to finish. The whole process was handled professionally, efficiently, and with clear communication throughout, which made what can often be a stressful time feel straightforward and manageable.
A special mention has to go to Jamie and Zoe, who were both exceptional at their jobs.

Nothing ever felt like too much trouble for them, and they made sure I was kept updated every step of the way.

Mortgage reassurance and guidance of the highest order
Went through Active Mortgages back in 2020 to secure a mortgage as a business owner as the banks wouldn't even look at me with their draconian methods. Active Mortgages were able to guide me through the full process of what they as my broker could do for me. They found a cracking deal for me, I paid their fee and the mortgage was sorted quickly. In 2026 as I write this, I spoke with the same rep there, he's still just as friendly and helpful as he was, this time I secured a new mortgage within a day. They are a truly exceptional service for those that aren't able to access a mortgage via conventional methods. 5/5
Fantastic Service 5 Star!!!
Where do I start? Everyone at Active Mortgages are absolutely fantastic andmade the whole house buying process so much smoother. Friendly and helpful over the phone with the whole process, Jamie was brilliant in taking away all the stress and work that’s needed in the application process and all the initial paperwork. Everyone’s knowledge is perfect for any information you need throughout the process. They constantly updated us regularly in the mortgage application always making sure they were able to get the best possible interest rate and loan amount for us even at the very end before completion when rates dropped. My partner and I are so so grateful to everyone at active mortgages for helping us get our first mortgage and as a result buy our first home. Thank you all so much for you work and efforts, will definitely recommend and use again once our mortgage is up for renewal.
