Our Services
Residential Regulated Mortgages
If you are borrowing money against a property that you or a family member will live in, this will be a regulated mortgage. We will provide advice and make a recommendation on the most appropriate product for you after we have assessed your needs and circumstances.
In most cases, our recommendation will involve borrowing against your home from a single mortgage lender. In some cases, it may be more appropriate to take out a second charge mortgage, where additional money is borrowed from a different lender to your existing lender without repaying your existing mortgage. We will advise and make a recommendation for such a product, if appropriate, having assessed your needs and circumstances.
Consumer Buy to Let Mortgages & Unregulated Buy to Let Mortgages
Mortgages for a property that is to be let out will normally be a Consumer Buy to Let (CBTL) mortgage or unregulated Buy to Let (BTL) mortgage. We will provide advice and make a recommendation for you after we have assessed your needs and circumstances.
Please note that our recommendations with respect to Buy to Let are limited to helping you arrange a suitable mortgage. We will not advise you about whether or not the property you plan to buy and let out to tenants will turn out to be a sound investment.
Protection Insurance
Health and Protection insurance provides insurance against personal changes in circumstances such as death, illness or inability to work. We will provide advice and make a personal recommendation for you after we have assessed your needs and circumstances. We provide an intermediary service and act on your behalf.

Mortgages
Our broker fee is disclosed to you once we have the details of your enquiry, and is payable on receipt of your mortgage offer. We may also receive commission from the provider of any products you take out.
You will receive a personalised illustration (ESIS) when considering a particular mortgage, which will tell you about any fees relating to it, and the commission we will be paid. You have the right to ask for information on the variation in levels of commission payable by mortgage lenders. You also have the right to request an illustration for any mortgage we offer.
Insurance
We arrange the policy with the insurer on your behalf. You do not pay us a fee for doing this. We receive commission from the insurer which is a percentage of the total annual premium.

Conflict of Interest
We will not transact business where we believe this could result in a conflict of interest. Where we believe that our interests conflict, we will inform you in writing and agree with you how we can proceed.
Refund of Fees
Where a fee has become due, and you subsequently cancel or withdraw at any time before completion, in order to cover our administration costs, the fee will still be due, and if already paid you will not receive a refund.
Additional Services
We have a regulatory duty to advise you of foreseeable risk and recommend ways to mitigate those risks. As part of this process, we may recommend that you work with a trusted partner to do so. We may receive a referral fee from these partners.
Your Responsibilities
You must be honest and transparent in the information you provide. Incomplete or inaccurate information about you, your health, any existing products you hold, your financial history or any property you are mortgaging could impact our advice and result in a less suitable recommendation.
In the worst case, it may result in your mortgage or insurance becoming void, and if considered fraudulent impact your future ability to obtain credit or insurance.
If your circumstances change before the completion of your mortgage or your insurance application you should inform your adviser immediately so they can ensure the advice given is still relevant and make any appropriate adjustments.
