Really good experience with Joanne Boulden, she made a confusing process feel simple and was always happy to explain things when we needed it. She helped us work out the best option for our mortgage and also sorted us out with better life insurance cover. Friendly, straightforward and really easy to deal with.

Joanne B was amazing from start to finish. She helped us as we came to the end of our 5-year fixed rate, talked us through all the different mortgage options and helped us understand what to do with our Help to Buy loan. Everything was explained clearly and in simple terms, which made the whole process much less stressful.

She really understood our monthly budget and worked around what was realistic and affordable for us. She also helped us review our life insurance and secure better policies. Really knowledgeable, patient and supportive throughout. We couldn’t have asked for better service.

Used MAB twice now for two separate property purchases, both times supported by Sunjay Chauhan as mortgage advisor, and this time Dom Challinor in the Mortgage Support Team.

Both Sunjay and Dom are communicative, personable, and offer all manner of support to make informed decisions regarding mortgage products, and efficiently facilitate the administration associated with securing the desired product.

happy repeat customer

MAB did my original mortgage in 2016 and made the whole process very smooth and easy to understand for a first-time buyer. I came back to them for my remortgage in 2021 and again in 2026 and it's especially good to work with a firm that people stay with - I had the same adviser, Amanda, for all three transactions despite them spanning ten years. The rest of the MAB team seems to have changed a bit more in that time but I've had excellent service from the admins every time.

As a first-time solo buyer

As a first-time solo buyer, I can honestly say that the team at Manning Stainton Mortgage Advice Bureau made what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward, enjoyable, and completely hassle-free.
From the very beginning, Vicky was exceptional. Every email, phone call, text, and video call was handled with genuine care, kindness, and professionalism. She answered EVERY question I had, found the right solutions to EVERYTHING I NEEDED, and supported me through every step of the process, always making me feel reassured and confident. With Vicky everything was made easy and simple.
When Vicky introduced me to Dominic to continue my journey, the outstanding service continued seamlessly. His emails were always professional, friendly, and reassuring. No matter what additional information or documents were needed, he explained everything clearly and made the process feel simple and manageable.
Vicky and Dominic were so much more than mortgage advisors. They built such a positive and supportive relationship with me that I genuinely looked forward to hearing from them. They made me feel valued rather than just another client, and it really felt like we were all working together towards the same goal.
The knowledge, dedication, and teamwork at Manning Stainton Mortgage Advice Bureau helped turn my dream of owning my first home into a reality. I can't thank Vicky and Dominic enough for everything they did, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them and the entire team at Manning Stainton Mortgage Advice Bureau to anyone looking for knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring mortgage advisors.

Outstanding Service from Start to Finish

I can't recommend Giles and Laura highly enough. From start to finish, they provided an outstanding service and made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and manageable.
Giles was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always took the time to explain everything clearly. He worked hard to find the best mortgage option for my circumstances and was always available to answer my questions.
Laura was equally amazing. She kept everything organised, kept me updated throughout the process, and made sure nothing was overlooked. Her communication was excellent, and she was always friendly, responsive, and reassuring.
Together, they made an exceptional team. Their professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for their clients really stood out. I felt supported every step of the way, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Thank you both for all your hard work. I would recommend Giles and Laura to anyone looking for a mortgage broker—they truly go above and beyond.

Absolutely great service for first time buyers.

As a first time buyer not knowing much about buying a house, mortgages, etc. Mortgage Advice Bureau could not have made it any easier for me. Fast communication throughout the whole process, the mortgage advisor explained the whole process and took care of the mortgage application and communication with the bank. Absolutely great service for first time buyers.

Louise and Cassie are amazing

I've just exchanged on my house purchase and I can't thank Louise Rusby and Cassie Coates enough for all their help. Louise has been amazing. She has been so responsive and helpful answering all my queries and calming all my worries throughout the whole process. When I was having issues with the sellers estate agents, she dropped everything and sorted my mortgage aip out and it was in my inbox in minutes. When I exchanged Cassie sorted out my insurance so Im covered until completion which I hadn't thought about. Together they have made my whole process of buying my first house on my own and extremely pleasant one. I would highly recommend them to anyone and will continue to use their services for the duration of my mortgage. Thank you once again guys. You're amazing xx
