2019 marked the beginning of a consistent run of national recognition for Spolton Mortgages.
In that year, Nick Spolton was included in the VouchedFor Top Rated Financial Adviser Guide, published in The Times for the first time.
This guide highlights advisers across the UK who have delivered high-quality advice, based entirely on verified client feedback.
What this recognition meant in 2019
The VouchedFor Top Rated Guide is not based on nominations or paid placements.
To be included, advisers must:
- Receive a strong volume of positive, verified client reviews
- Maintain consistently high standards of service
- Pass checks on identity, qualifications and ongoing monitoring
For a business founded in August 2017, being included in 2019 represented an important early milestone and external validation of how Spolton Mortgages was building its reputation.

Nick Spolton listed as a Top Rated Mortgage Adviser in Sleaford
In the 2019 guide, Nick Spolton of Spolton Mortgages is listed as a Top Rated Mortgage Adviser in Sleaford, Lincolnshire.
At this stage, the business was still in its early growth phase, making the recognition particularly meaningful as it reflected real client experiences rather than long-established brand awareness.
Consistent client feedback throughout 2019
Alongside the national Top Rated recognition, Nick also received multiple VouchedFor Certificates of Excellence throughout 2019.
These certificates reflect consistently strong client feedback across different points in the year:
- 👉 2019 Spring Certificate of Excellence (PDF)
- 👉 2019 Summer Certificate of Excellence (PDF)
- 👉 2019 Autumn Certificate of Excellence (PDF)
Rather than being a one-off achievement, this shows that positive client experiences were being delivered consistently over time.
Built on real client feedback
What made this recognition significant then, and still today, is that it’s based entirely on genuine client experiences.
The inclusion in the 2019 guide reflects positive, verified feedback from clients at the time, highlighting clear communication, supportive advice and a straightforward approach to the mortgage process.
These early experiences helped establish the reputation Spolton Mortgages continues to build on today.
