Excellent customer service

We have been so impressed with the service provided by Sam Telford and Gareth Holding at Brilliant money.
Sam initially spent time over the phone explaining things to my elderly parents with such patience and detail and has been very approachable and quick to respond when we had queries and questions. Gareth has also provided us with an excellent service and again has been quick to respond to emails and telephone queries and has made the process smooth. Thank you both for the fantastic service we have received to date

Friendly and informative

Sam and Gareth were very friendly and took the time to explain everything to me in detail. They were good at getting back to emails straight away, the whole process did take longer than I expected, around 5 months from first phone call to actually getting the money, when we were told the average is 3 months but it was complicated by us living abroad. They were the only company we could find who would do a remortgage on a buy to let property in England for people living in France so if that's what you need I would recommend them.

David and Robyn are the best…

David and Robyn helped me to remortgage to an expat buy to let mortgage. They secured me a great fixed rate deal during a time when rates were very turbulent all whilst navigating a time difference with absolute professionalism. They were patient and a pleasure to deal with - helping me to figure out what I wanted out of the deal and communicating the implications of each option clearly. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone else looking to remortgage!

Outstanding Service

As a business owner, I value efficiency, clarity, and people who actually deliver—and Philip and Gareth did exactly that.

They ran the whole mortgage process like a well-oiled operation: no fluff, no delays, just clear advice and solid results. Every question I threw at them was handled quickly and without the usual industry waffle, which made a refreshing change.

What stood out most was how they balanced professionalism with personality—keeping things light when needed, but always on top of the detail. They made a process that’s normally about as fun as a tax return feel straightforward (and almost enjoyable).

If you want brokers who treat your time like it matters and actually get things done, Philip and Gareth are a very smart investment.

Cannot recommend Brilliant Money enough. Is the start of a great working relationship.

Thank you all 😎👍

Brilliant service from Brilliant Money

We recently used Brilliant Money as our mortgage brokers and we were very impressed. David and Robyn provided an excellent service and went out of their way to make the process as easy as possible. We found them to be experienced, friendly and professional. They paid careful attention to our preferences and needs to find the lender that best met our requirements and handled the paperwork once we'd provided them with the required information. They went out of their way to keep us informed and provide us with guidance on the process. We will definitely use Brilliant Money in the future and highly recommend them. Overall, a top-notch service.

David and Robyn

As first-time buyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with David and Robyn. From the very beginning, they were incredibly informative, taking the time to explain every step of the process in a way that was easy to understand and never overwhelming.

They made what could have been a stressful journey feel smooth and manageable, always being on hand to answer questions and offer reassurance when needed. Their professionalism, patience, and attention to detail really stood out, and we always felt confident that we were in safe hands.

Thanks to Dave and Robyn, the whole process felt far less daunting, and we are truly grateful for their support and guidance. We would highly recommend them to any first-time buyers looking for knowledgeable and approachable mortgage advisors.

Brilliant Money Were Brilliant

Brilliant Money were excellent from start to finish. They laid out the process and fees clearly and set expectations from the start. They are well established and clearly have strong relationships with the mortgage companies they work for, enabling them to add that essential personal touch to an impersonal application process.
Philip and Gareth were a pleasure to work with, their communication was excellent and they kept me informed all the way through. The whole process was much faster and smoother than I anticipated and they secured me a deal with a specialist lender that suited my needs. Thanks to all the Brilliant team!

Fantastic from start to finish

Brilliant Money took our application on from a broker half way through to help us secure a more specialised mortgage. Start to finish we've had fast and sometimes late night responses keeping everything moving smoothly. Every member of the team we spoke with made things very clear and straight forward even when we hit a few hurdles, no complaints at all.

Unparalleled professionals with respectful kindness shining through

I was far from a convenient fast-track client in a comfortable circumstances, and I had very little hope – being let down by three brokers. My case was also time-sensitive, because there were 16 potential buyers eager to snatch my little flat, which I was renting and which has been my precious home of 18 years. Philip Snelling made my dream come true: I had an AIP within 2 hours from our first conversation and the mortgage offer, better than I ever expected, within 3 weeks. I can only add, that the Brilliant Money team, with their second to none human-centric approach, is a rare treasure in today’s world of box ticking, automated responses, and uncomplicated efforts. I shall be eternally grateful to Philip, Gareth and Andy – for hearing me out and helping me to buy and thus, retain my home.

Being able to help when other brokers either cannot or do not have the time makes our job really rewarding. What makes it even more rewarding is when the hard work behind the scenes is recognised and acknowledged by the people we help. Thank you!
