Important Information:
We strongly recommend that you take appropriate professional independent financial advice before making any decision relating to your personal finances or entering into any financial obligations or transactions.
Do not make a financial decision based upon the information contained on this website alone. It is not detailed or comprehensive enough to enable you to make a correctly informed decision.
A mortgage is a loan secured against your home or property. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. Think carefully before securing other debts against your home.
The value of investments can go down as well as up and you may not get back the full amount you invested. Past performance is not an indication of future performance. Investment returns cannot be guaranteed and you may not get back the full amount invested. It is therefore important that you understand the risks and commitments.
Taxation: Levels and bases of, and relief from, taxation are current levels and are subject to change. The value depends on the circumstances of the investor. The FCA does not regulate taxation advice, tax planning, estate planning or trust advice.
If you are unsure as to the suitability of any financial products or services mentioned on this website please contact Chris Wheatley or call him on 0117 330 1201 to discuss your personal circumstances.
