Based in West Sussex

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

I was looking to buy a house as a first time buyer, with no knowledge of how the process worked and a complicated income situation. The house we ended up buying was also fairly unusual, with a necessarily long gap between completion and exchange.

How has Mark Stallard helped you?

Mark and Joe were extremely patient in walking my fiancée and I through the buying process. Mark and Joe took away our complex deposit issue as it was, literally, unprecedented and spoke to a number of lenders to understand whether they would be willing to lend to us and in what circumstances. Whilst the initial reaction was quite negative and we worried we wouldn't be able to get a mortgage at all, Mark and Joe were able to find a solution and secure us a mortgage in principle. Once we found the house and needed the actual mortgage, they then worked through all the detail with us with no issues at all.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Absolutely - a mortgage with a great 5-year fixed rate.

What could they have done better?

There is nothing Mark and Joe could have done to improve their service to us. We are based in the South East so had little face to face interaction with them, but they were so quick to pick up the phone or drop us an email that it didn't matter. We have since recommended friends to them, who have received similarly brilliant service.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

My wife and I have a mortgage in retirement and was seeking a reliable and knowledgeable adviser to find us a competitively priced deal for a longer period than my current mortgage. We were also seeking some appropriate mortgage protection insurance. We were not interested in equity release.

How has Mark Stallard helped you?

Mark looked at our personal and financial circumstances in great detail and offered various options that may be available to us. When he knew exactly what our requirements were, he researched appropriate products and made a recommendation that was extremely competitive and suited our requirements perfectly.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, most definately. He did not recommend anything before checking with the lender and insurance company that it was possible and kept us advised of progress all the way through to a satisfactory conclusion.

What could they have done better?

I our case, we genuinely could not find anything that Mark could have improved on. Our circumstances were difficult due to our age and he rose to the challenge and not once did he over promise or under deliver, so well done and thankyou to him.

Mark was exceptional! He spoke to us like real, intelligent people, but never baffled us with jargon or industry words. We were new to the process and Mark made time for us to ask questions, no matter how silly we thought they were. Our process took a long time, due to uncontrollable variables, but Mark stayed in contact throughout. We cannot rate him highly enough for his support, advice and honesty. I never once felt like he was ‘working’, he made us feel like he genuinely cared about the outcome for us, and I really believe that he did care! A genuinely top, top man!!!

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes. We have found a mortgage that met our criteria, have had no stress during the process. He even communicated with us whilst we were on holiday in Mexico and trying to finalise some parts of our application!!!

What could they have done better?

Honestly, I think Mark was outstanding. He called when he said he would call, he emailed quickly in response to questions and he was honest when we called and he was busy!! There isn’t much more that we could have asked for.

Mark responds really quickly (always on the same day in my experience) and is really easy to reach.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes.

What could they have done better?

This is my only experience of using a Financial adviser but I can't really think of anything that could be improved on. We were totally happy.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

I was a first time buyer looking to buy my first property in London. Also self-employed! My friend recommended him after the fantastic job he did for her too.

How has Mark Stallard helped you?

Being completely clueless, he explained everything to me in basic terms, made a very daunting time and event so much more manageable and almost enjoyable!.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

He managed to get me a great deal on my mortgage and is in the process of doing the same for my income protection. I honestly couldn't have done the whole process without Mark and have since recommended him to several friends and colleagues.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

My fiancé and I were looking to buy a house together and so required some advice on joint mortgages. We also wanted information on appropriate life insurance policies.

How has Mark Stallard helped you?

Mark sat down with us and talked through our options. He was very thorough in his questioning to ensure he did not recommend a mortgage that was not right for us. He was patient and answered all of my (many!) questions. At all times we felt he had our best interests at heart and did not push us towards any one policy - he provided all the information we needed and we made the ultimate decision.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Absolutely. We have been very happy with Mark's services and are confident we have a mortgage and life insurance policy that is right for us. We would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

What could they have done better?

He did everything that we required of him and was very supportive throughout our flat sale/house purchase.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

I wanted to discuss affordability to move from an apartment to a house and work out what our best options were in terms of selling the apartment vs. renting it out.

How has Mark Stallard helped you?

Mark looked through what our best options were. We had an early repayment on the current mortgage so he looked at the benefits of porting and extending or cancelling. He also helped us to work out whether it would be a good investment for us to rent out the apartment we already owned.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Absolutely, and more! We made the decision to sell the apartment as the revenue generated would not be enough for us to warrant the hassle of dealing with landlord duties. Mark also dealt with porting and extending the current mortgage but also shopped around to check we were getting the best deal by doing so. We have now moved into a lovely new home which had exceeded our expectations!.

What could they have done better?

Mark was very attentive and looked after us the whole way. No comments in this section!

Mark sourced the market to find lenders who would work with me and I’m very happy with result. Both mortgages were set up without issue in a very quick time frame.

Dedicated himself to our urgent mortgage need - which we completed within 17 working day! Mark communicated regularly and thoroughly, and keep all parties well focused to enable us to buy our dream home. We were offered a selection of different mortgages which Mark talked through with us and approached from a very practical and 'realistic' way making sure we considered not just what the initial situation would achieve but also how this would carry on into the future, and once we had decided and the application submitted we were away! Throughout the course of the purchase Mark was only ever a phone call away.

What could they have done better?

Mark went beyond the call of duty in our opinion - loading our application late one evening and communicating with us at the weekends. Thinking hard about what might be a constructive comment is that I hope IFS will contact us when the fixed rate is due to finish so that we can find another deal.

Mark firstly arranged a mortgage to purchase our family home. It was not an easy time when I decided to apply for a mortgage due to the fall in house prices, banks refusing mortgage applications and being self employed. It seemed like an impossible task and the dream of our first family home at this time was looking more and more distant. Mark looked at this as a challenge and he never gave up until he got us exactly what we wanted and that was the house of our dreams and a fantastic mortgage deal. He worked with us all the way through until the keys were finally in our hands, Mark even turned up the week we moved in with a bunch of flowers and a smile on his face to congratulate us on moving in. I was so impressed with the Marks passion to succeed I still use him 5 years later for business advice and I was happy to hand to him the pension rites for my business and all my employees as i now they will be looked after.

Mark provides an excellent mortgage service. For both my initial mortgage and my re-mortgage he found really good providers at a rate l was happy with. After letting him know exactly what sort of mortgage l was looking for he did his research and came back with some excellent options. He managed to find better offers than l found online myself and by using him you can be safe in the knowledge you have a mortgage with a decent provider. Mark is great at keeping in touch and chasing on your behalf to make the process of getting a mortgage as easy as possible. If even l had a question my emails to him were responded to very quickly. I would highly recommend Mark and l will definitely use him for all my future mortgage work.
