We will definitely be coming back to Marc in the future.Anyone thinking about choosing a mortgage advisor, Marc is your man!Response from the ownerThank you Alex, very kind of you.

Mark WebberMark Webber ★★★★★ Great company to deal with.Marc Kavanagh has given me very good advice over the years and got some excellent mortgage deals for me.Response from the ownerThanks Mark, its always been a pleasure to help you and the family. Dan RichardsDan Richards ★★★★★ Marc and Sooz at MK mortgages have been helping us with mortgaging for 7 years at this stage, and we only have good things to say about them.First and foremost they're great to deal with, helping us grow from first time buyers through new mortgage deals, sales and further purchases. Always going the extra mile to get the best deals available. Highly recommended.Response from the ownerThank you Dan. Its been a pleasure to help you through the property journey. Marcus DunnMarcus Dunn ★★★★★ Mark and Sooz were great at advising and arranging mortgage products based on my needs. In particular they promptly revisited mortgage options when new rates became available and escalated my application to allow a prompt purchase. I cannot recommend them highly enough.Response from the ownerThank you Marcus. I look forward to helping you again in the future. Amar LatifAmar Latif ★★★★★ Marc was absolutely amazing in helping me with my first buy-to-let mortgage. He was very helpful in asking me questions to understand my requirements before then helping to advise me on the best approach. I had approached 4 different brokers, but honestly Marc was by far and away the best amongst the lot. Not only was he completely transparent (he sent me documents with all the available rates whereas some of the other brokers only sent me their 'preferred' option), but he was also unique in that he does not take a payment from the client (this is almost unheard of amongst brokers). I also really appreciated Marc taking the extra time to offer me advice from a business perspective (he even explained the legal requirements and elements that really my solicitor should have been talking to me about) and he made the whole process seem less daunting for a complete novice, including communicating with me when on holiday and taking my calls at the weekend in order to hit a deadline with one of the mortgage companies. I have no hesitation in recommending MK Mortgages and indeed have already recommended and introduced him to colleagues and friend.Response from the ownerThank you Amar, this is a great review to receive so thank you. I look forward to helping you with the next one. Alina SvinchukAlina Svinchuk ★★★★★ We are so happy with the excellent service, advise and help from Mark and MK Mortgages team.

We had several phone calls with him before we decided what to do and wouldn’t have been able to do it without his input. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.Response from the ownerThanks for the 5 star review Anna, always nice to see our clients saying thank you for our fee free service. James WhitworthJames Whitworth ★★★★★ Used them for 6 years now, a great service. Initially when setting up Marc was great at helping out with some certifications that the seller had not got. I'm not sure I would have been able to buy this place if it were not for him.For my most recent mortgage renewal, Marc has been excellent at monitoring rate changes and letting me know when there is a better offer even though a new agreement was already in place.Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor.Response from the ownerThanks for the review James, hopefully offer number 5 will be the last one. All part of the fee free service James. Laura GreenwoodLaura Greenwood ★★★★★ We have been with MK Mortgages for about 6 years and have been very happy with the advice and help we have been given.

Marc was extremely patient with us, working to a tight time frame and still managed to secure us a mortgage cheaper than we could get directly from the lender.Both Marc and Sooz were more than helpful throughout, patient and showed true professionalism. The advice offered was honest, which at the current time, given the uncertainty of the market was appreciated, it was to the point and Marc’s knowledge of the market was clear.We are truly grateful for the help given, with our only regret being we didn’t make contact earlier than we did. I would highly recommend.Response from the ownerThank you Darren, that's great to hear and thank you for mentioning Sooz. Isobel McLauchlinIsobel McLauchlin ★★★★★ Brilliant service.

Joanne DavenportJoanne Davenport ★★★★★ Response from the ownerThank you for the 5 stars THEBES86THEBES86 ★★★★★ Response from the ownerThank you for the 5 stars Amy KingAmy King ★★★★★ Fast, friendly and family focused.The main strength of MK Mortgages is their personal touch. Marc is almost always available on the phone- he has helped us from purchase and through two renewals. He listens well, explains things clearly and we feel he really cares.Sooz is super efficient and deals with the admin side (a minefield in its own right)- she sends reminders near the time of renewal (way before you’ve even thought about it) and is always quick to respond to emails. No question is too silly!Both Marc and Sooz have a warm manner than reassures you that you’re in safe hands. They know their stuff and always place their clients at the centre of their decision making.We wouldn’t re-mortgage with anyone else. As our family continues to grow, I’m sure they’l help us more in the years to come.MK Mortgages save us so much time and allows us to side/step the jargon and feel more confident in navigating these most turbulent of financial times.Response from the ownerThank you for the amazing review Amy and for highlighting the great work that Sooz does.We look forward to working with you again in the future.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend myself now!Response from the ownerHi Zoe, thank you for the review and great to see you moving in now. All the best until next time. LE DLE D ★★★★★ I couldn’t recommend MK Mortgages highly enough! Marc and his team helped us navigate our applications for two mortgages simultaneously (one residential, one buy-to-let) and his explanations and guidance made what had felt like quite an intimidating process go very smoothly.

We hope that you enjoy your new home and look forward to working with you again.

GJ xoGJ xo ★★★★★ Marc was introduced to me by a friend of a friend when I said I needed a mortgage under quite difficult circumstances. He turned this around for me, kept me updated and got things done quickly. Even got me a good deal when I was lucky to get a mortgage let alone a good deal! I would’nt go anywhere else. Thanks so muchResponse from the ownerHi, thank you for the kind words and it was a pleasure to help you. Enjoy the new home! craig richardscraig richards ★★★★★ Fantastic experience – Marc and Sooz have been outstanding from start to finish in helping guide me through the complex process of finding a suitable mortgage for a first-time buyer. Marc even helped guide me on what best/worst attributes to look out for when house hunting, and what kind of offers should be pitched to the vendors in the current market.Other additional services such as mortgage cover were offered, but never pushed – which I appreciated.Very easy to deal with and get in contact with when needed, professional at all times - Highly recommend MK Mortgages .Response from the ownerHi Craig, thank you very much for this brilliant review. it was great to help you and we look forward to working with you again in the future. Jamie GoldingJamie Golding ★★★★★ Having known Marc for a few years now and seen the impressive work that he does on behalf of other clients, when it came to renew our mortgage we didn’t look any further than MK Mortgages. Marc was brilliant at putting giving us choices in a clear and concise manner and just made the whole daunting process so simple and easy to deal with. I always felt that the advice Marc was giving us was the best we could have received and when we eventually have to move and organise another mortgage there isn’t anyone else I would turn to. Thanks again Marc (and the team), I couldn’t recommend you highly enough!Response from the ownerHi Jamie, thank you for the review and it was great to help you both with your mortgage. Charlie DayCharlie Day ★★★★★ Brilliant service from start to finish from all the team. MK Mortgages make a complex situation simple and work together with you to get the best outcome, highly recommended.Response from the ownerThank you Charlie, always a pleasure to help you. Jackson FamJackson Fam ★★★★★ Amazing service and no fees!!Marc and the team have been absolutely amazing guiding us through the process of re-mortgaging our own home and also securing a buy to let property. They really take the time to get to know you like with a full consultation process which they don’t charge a penny for. As their fee comes direct from the mortgage company once everything has gone through, they are really invested in delivering the right product for you and your personal situation.As a result of the consultation phase Marc gets you to think about your 2,5, 10yr plans and then tailors the product selection offered to you around your goals (e.g. if you need to release equity in 3 years to fund a wedding he won’t tie you into a 5yr mortgage). It can all be a little bit daunting but Marc really takes the time to explain the jargon and if things aren’t entirely straight forward he’ll have a Plan B ready for you. I absolutely would not go anywhere else and cannot recommend MK Mortgages highly enough.Response from the ownerHi Jackson Fam! Thank you for this glowing review, means a lot to receive these comments. Dom WilsonDom Wilson ★★★★★ Marc, Sooz and the whole team where 100% fantastic. Great communicators, Extremely clear and very patient with all my questions. Would definitely reccomend.Response from the ownerHi Dom, thank you for the brilliant review and great news that you have now completed. James SimmonsJames Simmons ★★★★★ Great service from Marc and Sooz. I don’t think I waited more than 10 mins before an email was replied to and Marc answers the phone every time. Marc also worked very hard to find a product that two other brokers could not find as our situation was difficult due to our salaries being heavily commission based. Highly recommendResponse from the ownerThank you James. Always a pleasure to help you both. Amanda ThomasAmanda Thomas ★★★★★ Fantastic service from Marc & his team. I find anything to do with financials quite stressful, Marc made me feel completely at ease. Marc is very knowledgeable and his focus is finding the right deal for you. His team are uber efficient and a pleasure to deal with, I would not hesitate in recommending MK Mortgages.Response from the ownerThank you Amanda, hope you and the boys are well. Andy WertheimAndy Wertheim ★★★★★ I rarely post reviews on service companies or products, but MK Mortgages undoubtedly deserve a 5-star rating - especially Marc Kavanagh himself and Sooz Trotter!They flawlessly combine exceptional customer service, thorough knowledge and awareness of the market, and always go "above and beyond" the call of duty, even when it's not their job to do so.Moving house is stressful enough as it is, so anyone who can help alleviate some of the angst and make you feel less isolated deserves to be recognised.MK Mortgages is most definitely one of those companies!Response from the ownerThank you Andy, really appreciate your comments. Lindsay FlackLindsay Flack ★★★★★ MK Mortgages was a recommendation and it's been the best mortgage recommendation! Marc was very professional and gave straightforward no-nonsense advice about the myriad of options which were available to me, and best of all - no fee! He helped me pick the best product and worked through all the pros and cons of each. Both Marc and Sooz have been on hand throughout my property purchase offering advice when required. I wouldn't use any other mortgage advisor or my bank when I need to re-mortgage in a few years time, I'll go straight to MK Mortgages!Response from the ownerHi Lindsay, thank you for the 5 star review. Sam YasenSam Yasen ★★★★★ Having had a number of different mortgage products over the years, I thought I knew all I needed to know about them. However, having spoken to Marc at MK, he provided an insightful perspective that I hadn't considered, for what was ultimately a much better product for me. I found him very professional, accessible and helpful. I am extremely grateful that he was recommended to me, and would certainly use his services again.Response from the ownerThank you Sam, glad I was able to help. js_loader

Non-fee charging mortgage advice

Where is the catch?

Mortgage advisers predominantly earn their living from the institutions that lend you the money in the form of an introductory fee. This is on top of what you give them as a fee for advice.

MK Mortgages is different. I believe you have enough to pay for when purchasing a property and so I don’t charge you for any mortgage advice.

Good isn’t it?
