Independent Financial Advisers

We market the services of independent Surveyors. Surveyors pride themselves on a high standard of work. We can offer Building Surveys also known as Structural Surveys and Home Buyers Reports. We also do Specific Defects also known as Engineers Reports or Damp Reports. We can also carry out Independent Valuations. Note these are not for bank lending but are to advise you how much we feel the property is really worth. If you have a property problem we may even already have written an article on it and we would refer you to the many articles we have on our website. All our independent surveyors are more than happy to chat to you about your property.

Please Free phone us on 0800 298 5424 and surveyor will call you back.

No such thing as a free lunch!

Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs) are rarely independent and are not usually financial advisers. They simply sell financial products - they are mortgage sellers.   If you have not paid them a fee then they are getting paid commission by the lending company (how else will they feed their family!) which may/will sway their decision.

A considerable amount of commission is made from your mortgage by the independent financial adviser and the estate agent and of course the lender over the next 20 years (or for however long your mortgage is).  Remember, it's most important to get the right house and you can usually change mortgages at a later date (although sometimes there is a financial penalty).  In our opinion it is much harder to trade in the wrong house than the wrong mortgage.

We recommend that you research the products available for yourself.  The internet is a good place to do this.  There are various magazines and books on the mortgage market and newspapers regularly produce articles on mortgages.  Take your time - it's a free market, you can go to whoever you want for a mortgage.
