Marcus reviewed the various personal policies I had and gave me great advice in relation to the best options open to me. He explained carefully the attitude to risk necessary in order to meet my financial target. I’m fully aware of the charges involved and I am very happy with the professional service Marcus offered to me.

Marcus is an excellent financial adviser. He always goes above and beyond to ensure that I get the best deal for my situation. Nothing is too much, he thoroughly explains what and why he has advised me. He always keeps me fully updated with on going applications, with continued support and advice where needed. I highly recommend Marcus and will continue to use him for any of my financial needs.

Kirsty stayed with us through all the ups and downs to helps us in every way to secure our first home and mortgage! We would not be here now in our new home if it wasn’t for her expertise and determination. She gives 110% all the time and has really gone above and beyond! Kirsty and Marcus have been incredible and we will be using them for life for all of our Ideal Financial Needs!

Satisfied Customer

I cannot praise Marcus and his team highly enough for the job they did in arranging our mortgage. At all times I was kept informed of where we were with the application and he explained clearly the repayment breakdown and ensured that the repayments could be afforded. This is the second time I have used Ideal Financial Solutions for my mortgage and won't be the last. Currently arranging my life insurance through them aswell. Great service, great company.
