Sunjay was fantastic throughout the entire mortgage process. He was always available to offer support, guidance, and expert advice whenever I needed it.

He has successfully arranged three mortgages for me, and each time I’ve been impressed by his professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he always kept me updated every step of the way.

I’ve used other mortgage advisors in the past who initially seemed professional, but their level of service dropped significantly once they had secured their fee. Sunjay is completely different—his commitment to his clients remains outstanding from start to finish.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sunjay to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and dedicated mortgage advisor.

Income Protection Review

Vanessa Lawton and her assistant Holly were so helpful with renewing my income protection policy. I was put at ease straight away and everything was explained clearly to me. I felt comfortable asking questions and she was able to find me an even better deal that suited my needs. 5 stars!

Sunjay Chauhan and Dominic Challinor…

Sunjay Chauhan and Dominic Challinor were brilliant as usual getting various properties over the line through various twists and turns. They both accommodated my technophobia with f2f contact and coffee. They coped with my crankiness and rising stress levels following bereavement and were never cranky back, quite the opposite, always very professional and efficient. Great team.

Sophie & Katie

My broker was Sophie Poole, with later additional support from Katie Sleightholme.

I cannot express my gratitude enough for the outstanding service and devoted support they provided throughout the process. I am currently going through a separation, and as a newly single mum, my financial situation was far from straightforward. They — particularly Sophie — worked incredibly hard to support me in securing my mortgage and, consequently, a home for me and my little girl.

There were numerous hurdles to overcome, all of which they helped me navigate with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. Communication was excellent throughout; I was kept updated as much as possible, which really helped to ease my anxiety during such a stressful time.

I truly felt that Sophie and Katie cared about me personally, and that nothing was ever too much trouble. They were kind, friendly, and always happy to answer any questions or queries I had. They are absolutely amazing and worth their weight in gold.

I honestly could not have done this without them, and “thank you” simply does not feel enough.

THANK YOU!!! Would 100 percent recommend!

Manning Stainton MAB review - first time buyers

Giles was extremely helpful in his communication, as first time buyers we found it so useful to be given a clear understanding of the buying process, and the differences & minutiae of a mortgage application.

We feel that Giles went above and beyond to be available for phonecalls whenever needed, assisting with additional documents not central to the mortgage offer itself, and being patient and understanding through any questions we may have had/information we may have not understood initially.

We will be recommending MAB and Giles to friends and family in the future for certain!

I can't fault the excellent service from Thomas Hawley and Elizabeth Bell. From start to finish, they walked my husband and I through the application process step by step. It can be quite daunting purchasing a new home, especially your first, but Thomas and Elizabeth were always contactable for advice (even when Thomas was on holiday - sorry Thomas). I would highly recommend them and can't thank them enough for taking us to the finish line. We complete next week!!!

Sunjay Chauhan and Dominic Challinor…

Sunjay Chauhan and Dominic Challinor both recently supported us with our mortgage renewal. They were knowledgable, approachable and took the time to explain the process clearly. Every meeting was followed up an email which was really useful and when action was required from us they communicated this really clearly so we knew exactly what we were doing.

Warm, professional service.

My mortgage and related insurances were handled by Sunjay Chauhan and Dominic Challinor, both of whom were professional, efficient, caring, and knowledgeable. I got excellent advice from Sunjay, initially, covering the global economic climate and its effect on the property market within the UK, through to my own monthly finances and what to do to optimise my experience as a buyer and homeowner. Dominic then followed up and took great care to keep me informed, always inviting any questions or concerns I might have in a polite but genuine way. I highly recommend Sunjay and Dominic.

It was a joy to work with Sunjay Chauhan and Dominic Challinor again when we needed to find new mortgage for our home. Sunjay listened closely to all our concerns and gave us highly personalised, professional advice. It was a great reassurance to receive advice we knew we could trust and to have the process made as simple as possible for us.

We had an excellent experience working with Sunjay as our mortgage broker for our first home. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. Buying a property and arranging a mortgage can be stressful, but Sunjay made everything feel straightforward and manageable.

He took the time to fully understand our situation and explained all the available mortgage options clearly, without any pressure. What really stood out was his patience and attention to detail — he was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and ensure we understood each step of the process.

Sunjay worked hard to secure a competitive mortgage deal and handled everything efficiently, which gave us real peace of mind. His communication was outstanding throughout, and we always felt like we were in safe hands.

We genuinely appreciated his honesty, professionalism, and dedication to getting the best outcome possible. We
would highly recommend Sunjay to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy mortgage broker. Thank you again for all your help and support!
