15 Aug 2025Mr Mark McDowell is a God send. He literally held our hand through the whole process. He was easily accessible and helped us get the best deal. There are not enough words to describe his professionalism, tenacity and patience through the process. We will definitely recommend Mark a million times over and when it’s time to get a new mortgage deal we know who to call. McDowell Financial Services!!!!!

15 Feb 2019Mark helped us a number of years ago when we were remortgaging our house and changing it over to a buy-to-let. When I recently thought it might be worthwhile given the passage of time, to review the products and policies in place and see if there were any savings to be had, I immediately thought of Mark. As before, he was prompt in his dealings, knowledgeable, did all the hard work and was easy to get along with. Plus he reduced our monthly expenditure which is always good.

12 Feb 2019I felt well supported and informed whilst working with Mark. Amongst other things this included a re mortgage and a buy to let mortgage. His advice and assistance were invaluable especially when I couldn't see any light at the end of the tunnel. Information was clear and concise. Sound advice if you're willing to listen.
