Advice

You may want to get advice from a FSA-regulated mortgage advisor on the right product so that you don’t end up paying more than you should, and to help you understand the terms of the mortgage you are being offered. There is help available to understand mortgages from an independent financial adviser or a solicitor or see Getting help. Remember you will be charged for these services.
