About Us
A strong, directional approach, helping clients make decisions
Wallis Wealth is an mortgage broker and financial adviser that exists to create exceptional outcomes for our clients’ financial health. We are dedicated to understanding your goals, finding efficient and creative solutions and making your ambitions and dreams a reality.
Owner and founder, Ben Gascoyne, is passionate about offering every client the solution that is exactly right for them and being there when they need him to be. This passion and determination to meet clients’ very individual requirements and exceed their expectations is at the heart of every client relationship.
Ben holds a Diploma in Professional Financial Advice from the Chartered Bank Institute and a Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice from The London Institute of Banking and Finance. His professional expertise and experience are complemented by relationships with an extensive network of providers built over almost 15 years (accented by a rich mix of specialist boutiques) and by membership of 2plan (one of the largest and longest-established networks of financial advisers in the UK). We believe it is an unrivalled combination of knowledge, experience and resources, enabling us to offer efficient and creative solutions to even the most complex requirements.
We are relentless in our desire to continually improve our service offering and employing cutting-edge technology, including sophisticated cashflow modelling software, to help our clients make the decisions that will secure their financial futures and achieve their individual objectives.
What's in a name?
The company name is a tribute to Frederick Wallis, the grandfather of founder Ben Gascoyne, who taught him about financial planning and inspired his vocation.
Our vision
To transform the way people see mortgage brokers and financial advisers, setting the blueprint for how financial advice should be delivered, both now and in the future.
Our mission
We will achieve this by delivering an outstanding client experience and always putting the client’s individual needs first. To this end, we continually look for better ways to do what we do and never, ever settle for second best.
We don't...
- Make false promises to a client to draw them in and then deliver a lesser solution
- Offer easy to find mortgage solutions, rather than products which are exactly fit for purpose
- Over charge for investments, negatively impacting long-term returns
- Give poor advice
Our values
We take the time to understand each client’s individual circumstances and objectives and respect the value of their time. We make decisions based on the bigger picture, not just the here and now and always offer our very best advice.
We are proud of the business we are building and the strength of our client relationships. We are ambitious for every one of our clients and passionate about achieving exceptional outcomes in every scenario.
We understand the importance of our role and we are always confident in the quality and suitability of our advice. We do what we say we will, when we say we’ll do it and continually look for ways to improve the experience and outcome for our clients.
The fierce pursuit of excellence is at the very heart of our business, and we unfailingly strive for exceptional client outcomes. We are meticulous in our attention to detail and leave no stone unturned in the search for the most efficient and creative solution to even the most complex of challenges.
We understand that the financial services sector can at times be perceived as self-serving and uncaring about client experience and outcome. We are deliberately and authentically different and want to deliver an experience and outcome that will surprise and delight all clients and vindicate their decision to work with us.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any other debt secured on it. The value of investments and any income from them can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount invested.

Unrivalled attention to detail

Chris Martin

The oracle
“Ben is the oracle – he was able to solve a mortgage issue for us that had been going on for months in a matter of days, and he got us a better rate as well. Would highly recommend working with him.”
Jamie Romain
Principal Creative Director, The Growth Foundation
Building relationships
“Ben was recommended to me to help me finance a house purchase last year. He was refreshingly organised and professional and solved any issues we had to deal with perfectly. Really impressed. Will definitely be using Ben again soon.”

A mortgage magician
“Ben has been invaluable in making the seemingly unachievable work. He is a mortgage magician. It’s been great to work with someone who can advise on technical issues offering solutions in plain English. I trust Ben explicitly and he calmly guided us through a tricky time building a new house and on top of all that he is a lovely bloke too.”
Holly Mitchell
Director, Simply Planning
Dependable and understandable
“Ben has been fantastic in not only finding us the best mortgage options but also clearly explaining his thinking behind it. He now offers financial planning and we’ve found the service and advice to be extremely dependable and understandable. I now recommend him to all my clients.”
Neil Davies RIBA
Founding Partner, Neil Davies Architects LLP
Sound and realistic advice
“Ben has helped myself and my husband periodically over the years with financial planning. Ben really takes the time to fully investigate all options available and how, in plain terms, they translate into real life situations. He is quick to respond to queries and is always happy to talk through products to explain anything I don’t fully understand. I highly recommend Ben for sound and realistic advice.”
Rebecca Bland
UK Bid Team Manager, GI Group UK
Highly recommended
“Ben was great to work with, very knowledgeable and incredibly patient when dealing with someone like me who is less than clued up on mortgages and financial planning. Highly recommended!”
Barry Gilbert
Efficient and creative
“Ben really knows his stuff. He is a delight to deal with, very efficient and came up with lots of great and creative options. I would (and have) recommend him in a heartbeat.”
