The services we provide

We provide mortgage and protection advice to individuals and families in the United Kingdom.

Our services include: • Residential mortgage advice and arranging • Buy to let mortgage advice and arranging, including limited company structures • Life insurance, critical illness cover, income protection, and family income benefit advice and arranging • Buildings and contents insurance advice and arranging

We will always act in your best interests and provide a personal recommendation based on your individual circumstances.

Your responsibilities

To enable us to provide you with suitable advice, you agree to: • Provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information about your financial circumstances, including income, expenditure, assets, and liabilities. • Inform us of any changes to your circumstances that may affect the advice we give you. • Read all documentation provided to you, including the Key Facts Illustration (KFI) and suitability report.

We cannot be held responsible for any loss arising from inaccurate or incomplete information provided by you.

How we are paid

We may be paid in one or more of the following ways: • Procuration fee — a fee paid by the lender or provider upon successful completion of a mortgage or product application. This is paid by the lender, not by you. • Adviser fee — in some circumstances, we may charge a direct fee for our advice. Where applicable, this will be agreed with you in writing before any chargeable work commences and disclosed in our Initial Disclosure Document.

We will always be transparent about how and how much we are paid before you proceed.

Conflicts of interest

We are committed to managing any conflicts of interest fairly. We are not tied to any single lender or provider and offer mortgages from a comprehensive range of lenders, which means our recommendations are based solely on your needs and the available market.

Where a potential conflict of interest arises, we will disclose this to you promptly and explain how we intend to manage it.

Limitation of liability

Our liability to you in connection with the services we provide is limited to direct losses arising from our negligence or breach of regulatory duty. We are not liable for any indirect or consequential losses.

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
