What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

First-time buyers in Leeds repeatedly single out Mike Illingworth as the person who guided them through the mortgage process from the initial enquiry to completion. Reviewers describe how he set out the different mortgage types and the paperwork involved, making each stage understandable for people who had not borrowed before. His responsiveness is a recurring point, with customers noting that questions were answered quickly and that he remained contactable during a purchase that ran for many months because of a slow property sale.

The advice he gave on possible routes is mentioned often, including for applicants whose circumstances might have made lending harder. Speed of securing an offer is another theme, alongside proactive updates while a transaction was delayed. Several reviewers comment on the price obtained for their deal, and on the patient, friendly and professional manner maintained throughout. Those who had worries say they felt reassured, and many add that they would use his services again or pass his details to family and friends, a sign of the confidence built through steady communication and support.

We can’t thank Mike Illingworth enough for his support, advice and patience through our mortgage application. He has been approachable and responsive (even at weekends) which has made such a difference and really put our minds at ease. Thank you Emma & Tom

Mike was a great help with our first mortgage, taking the time to explain everything in detail, and quickly responding to us whenever we had questions. Couldn't recommend him more and will be continuing to use him in the future

Went with Mike on our first house purchase, without a clue about what to do! He was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He gave some great advice when discussing our options, and to top it off, he helped to secure a market leading mortgage product. Great communication, nothing was too much for him. Would 100% recommend for all your mortgage needs!

Mike was a pleasure to deal with throughout my remortage. From the outset Mike took the time to understand my needs and what I needed from my new mortgage. When being presented with the options these were explained to me and he took the time to answer my queries. Once going through the mortgage process Mike was very efficient and maintained communication during the whole process. Mike was always available for a call throughout this process which I really valued. I would recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for someone who works hard to find the best mortgage for their circumstances, efficient and is always just a phone call away.

Mike was fantastic for us. Always on the other end of the phone if we had any questions or needed advice. Extremely fast and attentive. Would highly recommend to get the job done.
