Apley Castle Mortgage Broker in short
Apley Castle Mortgage Broker is a Wellington broker whose platform profile records an FCA number at its Church Street address. The company record runs back further than any ranked firm in this round. That longevity is rare here and speaks to steady local demand. In our view Apley Castle suits borrowers happy to start by phone, since the firm has no website and its services rest on the listings alone.
Customer reviews hold five out of five on Google. Contact runs through the phone number on the listings page. What counts against it is the thin public record: with no site, fees and full services cannot be compared before calling. For anything beyond mortgages, a full-service ranked firm fits better.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Apley Castle suits you if you want a long-established Wellington mortgage broker with an FCA number on record. The company has run since 2007 and reviews sit at 5 out of 5. It counts against it that there is no website, so you cannot compare services or fees before picking up the phone.
