A study by IFA Promotion shows that 70% of new homeowners are totally unaware of any financial products that compliment a mortgage and would certainly need financial advice regarding them.

Ignorance is however not holding them back, with 78% of first-time buyers getting an insurance or investment product to go with their mortgage .

However, mortgage advisors may not be able to provide independent advice, as they may offer ‘tied’ advice on affiliated products.

A mortgage IFA can solely offer independent financial advice over all financial products which form part of the homebuying process.
