Excellent- I've found my mortgage … Excellent- I've found my mortgage broker! Damian was really quick and knowledgeable. No waiting on him to return emails or chasing to see if the email had been received. He was always prompt and courteous and took time to understand my requirements. I have always found the land of mortgages to be a real maze so getting someone who can explain it to me in simple terms & then get me a mortgage with no drama very helpful. Interestingly enough, I found his services via Trustpilot as he was the only one that seemed to have more 5* than any other broker and so true and well deserved. Highly, highly recommend him. Thanks Damian!.

Refused mortgage by high street bank even though I do not owe or never have any outstanding debts. I have a decent secure income from my employer of 15 years. Damion was a massive help.

How has Damian Youell helped you?

Incredible! Highly recommend 100% After going to the bank who gave me a decision in principle and a mortgage certificate of the offer I was well on my way to my second house purchase or so I thought. Once I had an offer accepted on the property I went back to the bank who now said they can no longer lend me the amount they originally promised and offered me a morgage 15K short of what they originally offered me. As you can imagine I was very annoyed with the bank. I then came across needing advice and Damien. I did background checks and research, I found nothing but positive feedback back from previous customers some who have had the same experience as me with the banks. I called Damien, he visited me at home and I think it was within 4 days he had got me the morgage I needed, not only that the morgage came with £1000 cash back! Speaking with Damien I got the feeling he wasn't just after a quick 1 time sale but wanted to build a positive relationship a life long customer which I definitely am. Damien always kept in touch and kept me informed. I got the keys to the property this week and the thousand pounds cash in my account too. I highly recommend Damien and needing advice to anyone, I have told all my friends and family to not bother with the banks but go straight to needing advice and Damien.

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

Remortgage to pay for home improvements.

How has Damian Youell helped you?

Great service adapting to unusual circumstances Damian previously advised my father on some buy to let mortgages and recommended him to us. We were looking to remortgage following completion of significant building works at our home. This meant that we had some debt we were looking to repay as part of the process. Due to an unexpectedly low valuation, Damian adapted his advice based on a change in circumstances and provided excellent help to enable us to make the right decision for us on our finances. He subsequently helped us to put in place life and critical illness cover. Damian was attentive and responded very quickly to all of our queries which led to a smooth and timely process. We would recommend Damian to all of our family and friends.

House move.

How has Damian Youell helped you?

Absolutely Brilliant, Damian is first class. My wife and I contacted Damian to speak to him about getting a mortgage. After giving him a few details over the phone, he gave us a decision in principle the same day. After coming out to meet us face to face and scan some documents, the mortgage was offered extremely quickly. Even after our first sale fell through at the 11th hour due to our buyer getting cold feet, Damian was there to help us through, he was equally as quick to sort the mortgage out again and it all went through smoothly. Damian went above and beyond in every way, he always answered calls and emails. He chased things up when he promised he would and he genuinely cares about his clients. He is a fantastic guy and knows his onions 100%. I will definitely be using Damian in the future for other financial matters too. Simply brilliant.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Absolutely. Should I ever be mad enough to move house again, I'll be using Damian again.

What could they have done better?

Honestly, nothing all our needs were met.

If he cannot help himself he never fails to provide the information I need. I will definitely be recommending him to people and even though I never want to move again (!!)

Excellent all round Dealt with Damian to sort a new mortgage. He has been excellent to deal with and i've been really impressed with all aspects of the application. He has a wealth of knowledge in the different products available and really took the hassle out of getting an offer. He responds to emails and enquiries quickly and i really can't fault the service. Plus there was no fee for us to pay as we took life insurance at the same time and I think he gets paid an arrangement fee for that. Will definately be using him when we come to remortgage in two years.
