Both Mel and Jess at Ipswich Mortgages were absolutely brilliant. Mel found the best deal and kept on top of better deals when the interest rates changed. Jess, regularly kept us updated with the progress of our application and any further information. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and recommend them to anyone who needs mortgage advice.

– Boshir – October 2024

I have nothing but positive things to say about Mel and Jess. My partner and I went to Ipswich Mortgages as first time buyers in an unusual situation. Mel worked tirelessly to advocate to lenders on our behalf with an impressive attention to detail for our situation. We felt thoroughly well advised throughout the entire process and felt that all decisions were made with our best interests at the centre. As a result, she managed to secure us a fantastic deal that was right for us, which then led to a quick mortgage offer. We were kept in the loop throughout the process and really felt like we got a completely thorough service. Meanwhile, Jess worked to make sure all messages were communicated efficiently and very quickly got the message to us when our mortgage offer had been issued. We couldn’t recommend them enough!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mel and Jessica on securing my mortgage offer, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, they were incredibly patient and responsive, despite my daily calls and constant follow-ups.What stood out the most was there positive attitude and professionalism. They always greeted me with a positive view and a sense of humour that made the entire process enjoyable. Navigating the complexities of a mortgage can be stressful, but Jess turned it into a smooth and even pleasant journey.Thanks to her dedication and hard work. I highly recommend Mel and Jess to anyone in need of mortgage assistance – they truly did go above and beyond for their clients.

– Cameron – July 2024

My partner and I met up with Mel to walk through our complicated mortgage application and to get some advice on our purchase. We both would have been totally lost without Mel’s advice. She took everything slowly with us, explained all the different options available which we really appreciated because we haven’t got a clue what we were doing. She took all our interests into account, was so patient and found the perfect mortgage for us super quickly. We’re so so grateful for her being so personable and prompt and for making a stressful time feel like a breeze. Would highly recommend to anyone looking or advice in the local area.
