The Money Advice Service (MAS)

The MAS publishes useful guides on choosing a mortgage. These are available free through its website: www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk or by calling 0300 500 5000.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)

The FCA is the independent watchdog that regulates financial services. It authorizes firms like ours to give mortgage, protection and general insurance advice and to arrange suitable contracts for members of the public.

They aim to make sure that financial markets work well so that consumers get a fair deal.

This means ensuring that:

• the financial industry is run with integrity
• firms provide consumers with appropriate products and services
• consumers can trust that firms have their best interests at heart

You can find more information on their website: www.fca.org.uk or by calling 0800 111 6768.
