“We were feeling completely stuck. We needed to move to a larger house because of our growing family, but we didn’t want to rush into selling our current home in a tough market. We’d heard about Let to Buy mortgages but had no idea how it worked or whether we’d even qualify. We got in touch with Power Mortgages, and honestly, they made the whole process feel possible. Our adviser, Manny, walked us through every step and he explained things clearly, found us competitive rates, and handled both mortgage applications at the same time. What really stood out was how calm and responsive he was. We’re now settled into our new home and still earning rental income from the old one. We really couldn’t have done it without him.”

“To be honest, I hadn’t really planned ahead with my Buy-to-Let remortgage. I assumed it would be a quick switch, but I hit a wall when the paperwork and deadlines started piling up. It felt like every lender wanted something different, and I was getting nowhere fast because they were not allowed to give me any advice. A friend recommended Power Mortgages. I called them and spoke to John. He listened, understood where things were stuck, and got to work. Within a day he’d found a deal that suited my situation and handled all of the heavy lifting. What stood out was, his knowledge, straight answers, and a sense that someone actually had my back. Thanks John!”

“I needed to release some equity from one of my Buy to Let properties to fund a renovation on another, but I wasn’t sure how to go about it or if it was even possible with my current lender. Steve at Power Mortgages made the whole thing straightforward. He explained my options clearly, found a lender that fitted my needs at a better rate than my existing lender, and handled the process quickly. Very happy.”
Mark Henson

“The property I had my eye on needed serious updating before it could be rented out, and that made finding a mortgage a real headache. Most lenders either didn’t understand the project or weren’t willing to take the risk. John at Power Mortgages took the time to understand what I was trying to achieve and explained exactly which lenders might support it. He handled all the tricky parts, stayed in touch throughout, and made the whole thing feel far less stressful than I expected. His calm, no-fuss approach made a big difference.”

“When I started with four Buy-to-Let properties, I knew I wanted to scale but didn’t know how. Thanks to Manny and the team at Power Mortgages, I’ve grown my portfolio to 27 properties in just four years.
What stood out was their tailored advice. Manny took the time to understand my goals and provided solutions that aligned perfectly with my strategy, whether it was high-yield properties or regional diversification. Their expertise was invaluable, especially when navigating complex lending criteria and tight timelines.
Beyond mortgages, they kept me informed about market trends and new opportunities. Their proactive approach and genuine care made me feel like a priority every step of the way.
If you’re serious about growing your property portfolio, I can’t recommend Power Mortgages enough. They’ve been instrumental in my success.”
