Lee dealt with us in a very professional, friendly manner. He knew the market well, kept us informed throughout the whole process and secured us a great remortgage deal. A thoroughly professional service. Lee always has my best interests at heart and makes the process of mortgaging / re-mortgaging extremely smooth and easy.
Independent Mortgage People is part of the larger JLM Mortgage Services Ltd, they were founded in 2002, has grown to cover the entire UK, with offices stretching from Aberdeen to Brighton. We are one of the UK's fastest-growing mortgage Networks. Privately owned and completely independent, we deal with all mainstream mortgages, but specialise in more complex and high net worth loans.
When calculating the costs of your Mortgage it is always important to understand all of the associated costs and insurance certainly falls into this category. Now with more and more people trying to sell you all types of insurance from your bank to your supermarket the most important thing is to make sure you understand what it is you are paying for.
A 'not one size fits all' approach. Independent Mortgage People can offer you advice on what the best mortage is for your situation, from the entire market! Mortgage interest rate is the most important element of your mortgage deal. The interest rate determines how much interest you will have to pay back over term of the mortgage.
Whether you are a First time buyer, Home mover or Remortgaging your existing home you are bound to come across the minefield of words your Adviser or Estate agent may bombard you with. This is good news - it means that your application for a mortgage (or any kind of financial service) has been agreed in principle, subject to such things as the valuation of your property or confirmation of your income. Another fairly self-explanatory term - it's what you might be charged by the lender for arranging the mortgage.

We used Independent Mortgage People to help us with the mortgage process as first time buyers and they were very helpful from start to finish, in finding us the best mortgage to suit us and keeping us fully updated throughout the whole process. Would definitely recommend using them if you need help or advice with looking for a mortgage!

I recently completed a re-mortgage with the IMP and it all went very smoothly with no hiccups. Better than that, the advisor, Lee made every effort to ensure best value for me by getting in touch immediately prior to interest rates going up. He managed to catch this in time and process the application to avoid the imminent increase in rate which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend and will use in the future. Thanks again!

Lee has been exceptional. Not only is Lee extremely helpful and professional, he is also speedy with his communication, which is so important when trying to buy a house. I have worked with other brokers previously and none compare. He's made the process seamless and so straight forward.

Lee Gribben has helped me twice now achieve exactly what I needed, when I needed it. Remortgage of my residential property and remortgage of a buy-to-let. He genuinely wanted the best deal for me and cared that the product was suitable for my purpose and my future. He patiently explained the process and kept me up to date at all times.

Lee combined his expertise and friendliness to make my mortgage application a pleasant experience. From being referred by my private renting agency to eventually sending the news of my mortgage offer when it was approved, He was absolutely brilliant and helped me through each step of the way. He answered all my questions, pointed out the loopholes in my finances, recommended ways to fix them and worked his part to make it go through smoothly. I have absolute confidence in Lee and will certainly recommend his services to anyone seeking to get a mortgage

When my spouse and I were looking for a house to purchase, we approached Lee Gribben for the mortgage. Being a first time buyer, we were quite anxious. Lee was patient enough to answer all our queries. His explanation was always simple and clear. He helped us to choose the right mortgage product. And finally, the mortgage was approved. I would highly recommend for his knowledge and professionalism.

Lee (Gribben) was absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. He kept me informed throughout, posed the pertinent questions and scoured the market to find a deal that best suited my circumstances. I can't recommend Lee highly enough!

I cannot recommend Lee Gribben and team enough! My mortgage was a bit complicated as it was a Right to Buy, I'm a freelancer/ short term contracted and there were other variables involved but nothing was too much trouble for Lee. He worked so hard and at all hours to ensure it went through quickly, as required, and was always responsive to my many panicked calls and emails.

He was especially great at explaining things to me as a first time buyer too without all the jargon. Lee is professional at all times and offers a 5* service! Definitely choose Independent Mortgage People if you're looking to get a mortgage.

Lee Gribben was great at sourcing our mortgage. As first time buyers with very limited knowledge of the process, Lee explained everything so well and made the process feel very smooth. He was always very quick to respond, even at unsociable hours. Couldn't fault the process!

Lee was our Mortgage Advisor. He was absolutely amazing from start to finish. As we are first time buyers we had lots of questions but Lee took the time to explain and answer our questions with patience and professionalism. And Lee was contactable at all times. A cool and nice guy. Highly recommended.

Lee Gribben was our mortgage advisor. He was excellent at finding the right deal for us. Very knowledgable, polite and professional. When we had a question that we were not sure on he would always get back to us very promptly. We will be highly recommending him to friends and family and will definitely be using him again in the future if we decide to move again!
