5* Company

Active Financial are a very professional and knowledgeable company within there fields of work

I have had the pleasure in dealing with Active Financial
through a very complex mortgage application to which I
have been trying to sort out for 18 years,

In that time I have dealt with many companys who have tried and failed to get a mortgage offer

Then I came across Active Financial and I dealt with Tim who from day one new exactly where he was going with this and what needed to be done to get it sorted
and he did just that where many others failed

I have now got a mortgage offer thanks to Tims hard work, and me and my family can now put 18 years of worry behind us and move on

Thanks To Tim and Active Financial
Good People thank you

Stress free remortgage

Philip was absolutely fantastic. He knows his stuff, dealt with everything for us, gave us very sensible options, made the entire process painless and hassle free. I would thoroughly recommend him and Active Financial.

Sid Rana - a credit to his profession

We just exchanged and completed! Sid Rana helped us secure our mortgage, provided guidance along the way and helped us put insurance in place - the whole service felt very personalised. Sid is a credit to his profession, can’t recommend them enough!

Great service and experience

Great service and experience. Highly recommend Sid Rana. He secured my mortgage promptly during the time of volatile mortgage markets. His quick response got me a rate I was happy with. He has also arranged income protection for me in line with my needs. The process was swift and efficient, with everything explained clearly. Thank you!

As first time buyers

As first time buyers, me and my partner wanted to find a mortgage broker who'd have the time and patience to talk us through details and be trusted to guide us in our best interests through very uncertain times (aka the Truss amd Kwarteng times!).

Natalie answered a search blast I'd put out on Bark. I saw only positive reviews of Active Financial, and from first meeting Natalie, felt instantly comfortable talking honestly and openly with her. It was most important to me to find someone trustworthy who doesnt load pressure on I'd felt other brokers doing, who push their own agenda and opinions, over the facts and our personal situation.

Natalie was always reliable at keeping in contact, and a trustworthy person I felt understood and respect my concerns. I liked that she does everything on video calls, so I didn't have to spent extra time heading out to office meetings. She also came forward with regular market updates and offering time for catch-ups even when we had lost momentum at our end, which helped us to keep focus. In the end, we have delayed buying but I will certainly be going back to Natalie soon as we're ready to look again later this year. I would fully recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy knowledge and personal values in a broker.

Active Financial Review

Made an enquiry online and Sid called me the next day. A brief call to explain what I wanted and what Sid could do for us. He always explained everything very clearly and gave us very good advise. Once we decided to use Sid he gave us various options and got us exactly what we wanted and always very prompt to reply to emails. Can fully recommend.

Was really struggling to find the right…

Was really struggling to find the right mortgage through the usual banks having been in a long term job then changed over to being self employed found Natalie through Google and after all her hard work we were approved and happy now to be settled in to our new home
Natalie was very knowledgeable, professional and worked hard to find us the right deal with our situation would defiantly recommend

Extensive market knowledge and great advice

Sid has helped me on all my mortgages - from first time buyer, to remortage and buying my second home. He has extensive knowledge of the market, providing a selection of options and advice for each one. I've always felt confident working with Sid in the belief that he is giving me enough enough advice for me to make the best decision for my circumstances. I'll continue to come to Sid for my future needs.
Thanks, again!

Philip Keith, HERO

So, we called Philip after other mortgage advisors could not help us with our difficult situation. Philip was professional and non judgemental he has great communication skills and with his friendly manner made us feel very comfortable. Philip managed to find us a repayment mortgage after our interest only term ended with heliodor mortgages as now we are in our mid 60s. We do not know where we would be without Philips help as we were on the verge of losing our home. We highly recommend philip and hope others in our situation won’t hesitate to contact him.

Professional all the way through

With a mix of self-employed and employed income to take into account, and in the midst of some challenging market conditions, Daniel ‘held our hands’ all the way, and landed us the mortgage we were looking for. Thorough, professional, friendly. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Proactive & Quick - Sid Rana is highly credible

Sid Rana has always been a trusted mortgage advisor. He is well tuned with the market, which helps when trying to select the right mortgage product. Thanks to his speedy response and timely attention, I was able to secure a good 5-years fixed rate before the rates hike. I highly recommend Sid for your financial needs.
