It is important that clients understand what independence in the mortgage market means and that they have the information required to choose an expert who can truly offer an independent advice service.
After completing a fact find with our clients, our experts look at all products, solutions and lenders from across the market and make recommendations based on a client’s individual needs and circumstances.
