Mitch and Kate
Firat helped us buy our first house. He made it so seamless and stress free I cannot recommend him enough only thing that let him down is his a man united fan other then that he was a class act and nothing was ever to much from the amount of questions me and the Mrs had for him - thanks again Firat

Firats was the third broker i spoke to and the two previous brokers told me i cannot getting the borrowing amount requested, however Firat thought outside the box and suggested we did a JBSP and made my dreams come true. I cannot thank him enough, already spoke about him to call friends and family ! More...

Patrick Vardez
He pulled it out the hat, all I can say about Firat is he is amazing ! He is straight talking and can explain complex things simply and gave us full confidence throughout the whole process
Liam Campbell
Firat at Appleton Mortgages was really supportive throughout the whole process. He always kept us up to date and was always on the ball. Even when one lender down valued our property he never gave up and submitted a new app the next day with a new lender and got us an offer within a week for our remortgage. More...
What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about my job as a mortgage broker is the chance to help people achieve their dreams of homeownership! There’s something really special about guiding someone through the process—whether it’s their first home or their forever home. Every client is unique, so no two journeys are the same, and I get to tailor the best options for each person.
I also enjoy breaking down the often confusing jargon of mortgages into bite-sized, understandable chunks. Let’s be honest, a lot of the terms in the mortgage world can make your head spin, but that’s where I come in to make things simple and stress-free.
And, of course, it’s incredibly rewarding to see the relief and excitement on a client’s face when they get the keys to their new place. There’s nothing quite like knowing I’ve helped turn their vision of owning a home into a reality.
What inspired you to start your own business?
So, after working in the City for 7 and a half years with some of the top brokerages, I started to feel that something was missing. Don’t get me wrong, the experience was invaluable, but I quickly realised that in those big corporate environments, the personal touch just wasn’t there.
Clients would often be passed around between different brokers, admin staff, case managers—you name it. It was very efficient, but at the cost of real relationships. The thing I loved most was helping people and providing excellent customer service, but in the corporate world, there was no time for that. You were just another file in the system. And don’t even get me started on the endless hold music when you’re trying to chase up paperwork! It didn’t feel right.
So, I took the plunge and set up Appleton. At Appleton, there are no robots or endless waiting for updates. It’s just me, every step of the way. From submitting the application, managing all the admin, liaising directly with solicitors, and keeping clients in the loop—it's all on me. You get that one-to-one, personal service, where you can reach out to me directly anytime. No middlemen, no waiting around. It’s all about providing a seamless, stress-free experience and building trust—something that’s so much easier when you’re not just another number in a queue!
That’s what inspired me to start my own business—creating a more personal, human approach to mortgages. It’s been the best decision I’ve made!
Why should our clients choose you?
First off, I’m a whole of market mortgage broker, which means I’m not tied to any one lender or product. I have access to a vast range of mortgage options from across the entire market, including exclusive and preferential rates that you won’t always find on the high street. These are available to me because I’m part of the Stonebridge Network, which gives me insider access to deals and rates that are often only available through a select group of brokers. So, when it comes to finding the best deal, I’m in a fantastic position to get you something that suits your needs, at a rate that works for your budget.
What really sets me apart though, is the speed and efficiency I can bring to the table. Through my connections with Business Development Managers (BDMs) and underwriters at various lenders, I’m able to push cases through more quickly and often get clients to offer in record time. That means less waiting around and a more streamlined process for you, which I know makes a massive difference when you’re eager to get into your new home.
And let’s not forget, I’m a one-stop shop for all your mortgage needs. Whether you need advice on remortgaging, buy-to-let, first-time buyer schemes, or help navigating complex cases, I’ve got it covered. From start to finish, I’m here to make sure every step is smooth and straightforward—no passing the buck or long-winded delays. Just one point of contact and one person working hard on your behalf.
So, if you’re after someone who can offer you a wider choice of mortgages, exclusive rates, fast decisions, and a personal, dedicated service, then look no further! I’m here to make sure you get the best deal, without any of the hassle.
