What Our Clients Say

Simon Lock

18 April 2024

I have used Wimborne Financial Services multiple times over the years. They have provided a professional, fast and easy to understand service. The advice they have provided me has always provided great value saving me and my family money.

A particular example has been the advice and product recommendations provided prior to recent large interest rate increases.

I would highly recommend.

Andrea and Graham

Andy has dealt with our financial requirements from soon after he started in business 15 years ago. He was clearly extremely knowledgeable then and having come from another high pressured commercial background knew exactly how to find the best solutions for all of our needs since. If you want straight forward good advice then you will get it and all the mortgages he has done for us over the years have been spot on. Always keeps you up to date on the progress of each event and has been more than happy to offer ongoing advice even when there is no business in the offing.

Would thoroughly recommend

A mortgage is a loan secured against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debt secured on it.
