IMAB have been absolutely brilliant during the process of applying for our mortgage. Our Mortgage Adviser, Carol gave us brilliant advice and worked really hard to get us the best mortgage possible. She and the admin team were super responsive and kept us informed at every point in the application. Harry was fab on the Insurance side and had some great insight into the insurance world. We can’t recommend IMAB highly enough.

This is the third time we have used the Stevenage branch of iMAB over the years. Adrian and Jane work very hard to look through all the options for you and answer any queries you may have. They will always get back to you promptly and are happy to talk things through. We would not hesitate to recommend them.

Helpful advice on ‘Consent to let’

Chris offered helpful advice with our query on whether we could convert our existing mortgage to allow us to let or if we needed a BTL mortgage. In the end we can work with our existing mortgage provider but the company was professional and Chris’s advice clear, practical and to the point.

It's great to hear that our advisers consistently give our clients the best advice, whether that ultimately earns us any money or not. Our prime concern is do what is best for the customer!

First mortgage

Sharfique helped to secure me my first mortgage.

Very professional, when ever I rang him he answered my call or came back as soon as he could (dropped me message as well). He briefed me about mortgage process in a very structured way. Took all the necessary information before applying for mortgage to asses my case.

Attention to detail:one thing that stood out was attention to detail which is very important for a mortgage application he went down to minor details in my application to make sure every thing correct and checked two times with me.

Customer service: very polite when talking, Doesn’t talk over you.

His knowledge about ever changing mortgage policies from lenders is very good.

His legal knowledge is pretty good as well.

Over all it was good experience will highly recommend him
