Seeking independent financial advice

It can be worth talking about your finances with independent advisers to be sure that you are getting the most from your money. 

It is also important that any advice you receive on money matters is impartial and puts your needs and interests first. 

A lot of information and advice is available free, however if you are requiring regulated financial advice or needing the services of a legal person, like a solicitor, there may be a charge for these services. 

The organisation or individual you contact should tell you what charges, if any, apply.
