Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the difference between independent financial advisers and restricted advisers?
There are two types of financial advisers you can speak to: Independent financial advisers (IFAs) and restricted advisers.
- Independent financial advisers can advise and sell products from any provider across the market. This means you will receive the best advice and products tailored just for you. We are independent financial advisers.
- On the other hand, restricted advisers can only recommend certain products or product providers to you. The adviser should be able to explain the nature of the restriction to you, but if you’re unsure, ask.
2. How much do I pay to have financial advice?
Our initial consultation is free of charge, and once we have established your individual needs, we’ll provide you with a competitive charging structure based on the level of service you require.
3. How am I protected?
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) directly authorises and regulates Affinity Group Financial Services. We hope you’re happy with our service; however, if we don’t meet your expectations, you can bring this to our attention. If you remain unhappy, you have the right to complain to the Financial Ombudsman Scheme (FOS).
The ombudsperson service resolves disputes fairly and impartially and has the power to put things right. It is entirely free and easy to use. If a financial services firm fails, you’re also protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), which offers a free service to consumers. It’s funded by the financial services industry.

What our clients say about us....
Although we can tell you all about the benefits it brings to the table, there’s nothing more reassuring than hearing about how it worked for others.
Puneet Kumar
Property Landlord
I would like to acknowledge the exceptional service that I received from Affinity GFS during the entire mortgage process. The team went above & beyond to ensure everything was handled thoroughly & efficiently.
Mark Mayaski & Jessica O’Connor
Homeowners
A big thank you to all the team at Affinity GFS in guiding us both on our first home. We both had very little knowledge in securing a mortgage, but their professional and friendly approach made us realise, no question was a silly question.
Andrew Courthouse
Senior Manager
Excellent service from Affinity Group Financial Services dealing with an otherwise, difficult life subject. Thank you so much Affinity for sorting my Lasting Powers of Attorneys and Will. It has given my family peace of mind.
