Stuart helped us with our very first mortgage when we didn't have a clue about anything and then helped us re-mortgage twice when the fixed rates expired, each time securing us great deals. We are now using him for our big house move to what we hope to be our forever home and the help from Stuart and all of the team has been second to none, everything has been explained clearly and paper work sent promptly with guides on what's needed. I would recommend Independent Mortgages Direct NE to everyone.

Gary at IMD has helped us secure and buy our last two properties and three mortgages, he has always been super helpful and gone above and beyond. He has his finger on the pulse with market predictions, fluctuations and risks, able to offer robust advise, enabling the customer to find the best most suitable deal. Our last house took 13 months to complete going through a painful probate process, Gary was a constant support throughout. I would recommend no other mortgage advisor, in the last year we would have been simply lost without him. We feel privileged to have found one of the best in his trade.

I've dealt with Gary and the team now for 20+ years on all properties that I've owned and couldn't recommend them highly enough! Gary always provides practical, independent and sound advice and it's always delivered with good humour and a smile on his face! Communication is always responsive and nothing is too much trouble. If you're a first time buyer and unsure what you need to be doing or how the process works the team will have your back and will always be on hand throughout the whole process. I've lost count of the number of people I've recommended use their services and will continue to do so. Thanks again guys and see you on my renewal date!

It's safe to say I've found the mortgage advisor I'll be using for life! Gary was absolutely spot on throughout the whole process in helping me secure a mortgage for my first property, using my help to buy ISA. He was easy to understand, approachable, extremely knowledgeable and took the stress out of the mortgage sourcing and application for me. Would recommend to everybody, and already have done to my friends and family. Brilliant service, thank you!
