What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

First-time buyers make up a large share of the clients described in feedback for this Belfast practice, with reviewers repeatedly naming Pat, Jenna and Jennifer for the friendly and knowledgeable way they handle mortgage applications. Accounts cover remortgages, moves to buy-to-let, further property purchases, life cover and critical illness protection, often spanning many years and in some cases decades. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the clear, practical guidance given during initial consultations, especially where applicants faced trickier circumstances such as damaged credit records.

Communication is praised for its responsiveness, with questions answered promptly, updates provided without chasing and support continuing after completion. Reviewers credit careful attention to detail with securing suitable mortgage deals and protection products that might otherwise have proved difficult to obtain. The team is described as reassuring and approachable, and several customers mention returning for subsequent financial advice or recommending the firm to friends and family. Long-standing relationships built around mortgage and protection work, including first home purchases and later life cover arrangements, form a recurring theme across the accounts.

Paddy and Jenna were super to deal with at all times. From our initial consultation right to our completion date, they were helpful and informative as well as answering any questions or queries that we had. They made the process of buying our first home very easy and reassured us along the way. I will be recommending them to friends and will certainly use them again in the future.

Medical and General have advised my family for decades on various financial matters. Most recently this year we completed on our house purchase/finance through Pat, Jenna and the team. They are fantastic financial advisors who give timely, realistic, and practical advice. They have a wealth of knowledge and connections and are there for you every step of the way. The most friendly team in Belfast and I won't ever hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

I'm a first-time buyer, and my friend recommended Jennifer. Based on what he's told me, she has helped many people find a suitable mortgage for their circumstances. From the initial phone call and in-person consultation to the final stage of completion, she was consistently prompt and responsive to my queries. I always felt that she had my best interests in mind, which is exactly what you want when dealing with a professional. I highly recommend Jennifer and the team at Medical and General. Many thanks!
