Conditions of Use

The Products and Services we will Provide you with

Insurance

We will advise and make a recommendation for you after we have discussed your needs in relation to protecting you, your family, your home or your business. We advise on non-investment protection products e.g. term assurance, income protection, critical illness and home insurance from a range of providers. In the majority of cases, eligible claims related to advising and arranging of protection products are covered for either 90% or 100% of the claim, without any upper limit.

Mortgages

We provide an unlimited mortgage service. We will search the whole of the market place to find the most appropriate mortgage to suit your particular needs. We provide mortgages in the non-business and business markets and for first and second charge loans in both markets.

Alternative Finance Options

Where we provide services in relation to increased borrowing on an existing mortgaged property there may be an alternative option available that may be more appropriate. For example, you may be able to obtain a further advance from your existing lender, or obtain an unsecured loan for the additional funds. Where your existing mortgage is a first charge against the property, a second charge mortgage may be available and where the existing mortgage is a second charge, a first charge loan may be available.
