How we write our articles.
Every article is written by our marketing manager, Gareth Sweeney, and reviewed by one of our licensed brokers, Kristian Said or Teo Torrelli, before it is published. We update articles when lending rules, government schemes or market conditions change, and show the date of the last update on each one.
Our articles are general information only. They do not take your objectives, financial situation or needs into account, so talk to us before acting on them.
