I’ve come across a really cool service for sorting out your money issues which is really worth checking out.
Called Money Advice Service it is independent and was set up by the government and is funded by a levy on the financial services industry. It claims to give free, unbiased money advice to help you make informed choices – throughout your life and whatever your circumstances.
The advice and information is available online, over the phone and face-to-face. Because they are not regulated by the Financial Services Authority they can’t give you a specific recommendation on whether a particular product is suitable for you. But once you have got the advice on what you need to do you should be able to go off and consult a professional financial adviser with confidence.
The website is really worth checking out. They run a thorough and anonymous health check to help get you started. Based on what you’ve told them, they immediately create a step-by-step action plan to help you make informed choices. OK, so you may have already done some of the things they suggest, but there may be some you haven’t thought of before.
If you are serious about buying, particularly co-buying, this a good place to start.
