I needed to refinance my property, a buy-2-let as it was coming to the end of its 2-year fixed-term period. I have know Ian for many years and can vouch that he is a genuine and trustworthy guy. My own situation was not straight forward, complicated slightly by my own personal circumstances but Ian was able to find a remortgage package that was right for me. I would definitely recommend Ian's services.

I am looking to change mortgages on a buy to let. Ian was hugely knowledgable on the best products in the market, far better than the ones I could find on any comparison sites. I look forward to working with him in the future on this mortgage and ones in the future.
