We found EBS from researching mortgage brokers in Galway, as most of our friends had a tough time with AIB and BOI. We were dead set on talking to someone face to face and Ciaran was available that day. We are super glad we did because otherwise we wouldn't have been able to build our house. It's not the most common practice here, and we had a million questions, but from our first conversation, he had a wealth of experience and could answer every one. Nothing was hidden under a fine print and he showed the math on our options. He genuinely cared about us and our application the whole way through, and his friendly demeanor made a very stressful time feel much more manageable. So if you’re looking for a mortgage broker who combines professionalism, experience and genuine care, we highly recommend Ciaran and EBS.
I dealt with Paddy Glynn (Galway branch) throughout the whole self build mortage process. Paddy was brilliant from the very first phone call and all the way through to the final stage drawdown. Everything was explained clearly and in detail and emails, texts and phone calls were responded to very quickly and he always made you feel at ease any time I rang him with any mortgage concerns. A proper professional & gentleman. I highly recommend Paddy Glynn if you're looking for a mortgage.
We cannot recommend Paddy Glynn and Ciaran Ludden highly enough. They helped us every step of the way in securing our mortgage and getting our first drawn down completed. We opted for a Scandinavian passive build, and Paddy was excellent at guiding us through all the steps. The process can be quite different from a traditional block build, but Paddy made everything clear and manageable. Thank you both for your support and expertise!
I cannot recommend Kenneth at EBS, Galway, highly enough. From the very first meeting we had with him, his professionalism and attention to detail were immediately evident. The mortgage process can be incredibly stressful, but Kenneth’s communication was second to none; he kept us informed every step of the way and was always available to answer our questions. His level of detail and efficiency ensured that nothing was ever missed or delayed. He handled every hurdle with such professionalism that it took a massive weight off our shoulders. Kenneth went above and beyond to ensure everything progressed smoothly, and his expertise was evident at every turn. We are now in our new home thanks to Kenneth. If you want a mortgage manager who is thorough and genuinely supportive, Kenneth is your man. We are so grateful for his help.
We had a great experience working with Ciaran Ludden to secure our self-build mortgage. From the very first conversation he was approachable, professional and incredibly helpful. He answered every question we had promptly. He made the whole process far smoother than anticipated keeping the stress at bay. He was calm and reassuring at every step. We were lucky to have been paired Ciaran Ludden for this journey. We would highly recommend him to anyone in the future.
