which are now outlawed in the UK.

Senior people need a lifetime loan with no repayments during a lifetime.

So many have been sold Equity Release rubbish which invests your money

to pay the interest on the loan less crippling costs.

 Such plans always die in their prams. They have no chance of success.
Those selling them know it but it pays very high commissions.

The UK  Financial Services Authority (FSA) have issued
 “Principles for Business for Financial Advisers."
  These include points to prevent mis-selling: 

  A firm must conduct its business with integrity.

  1. A firm must conduct its business with due skill, care and diligence.
  2. A firm must pay due regard to interests of its customers and treat them fairly.
  3. A firm must pay due regard to the information needs of its customers, and communicate information to them in a way which is clear, fair and not misleading.
  4. A firm must take reasonable care to ensure the suitability of its advice and discretionary decisions.

 

There is no equivalent of the FSA here in Spain.   If you are thinking of investing capital here in Spain it is therefore essential that you first ensure that the company/independent financial adviser you choose can satisfy these conditions.  You should carry out thorough checks to ensure that the product provider of the investment you have selected has full professional indemnity cover so that you have recourse to full financial insurance protection in the event of the adviser’s negligence and a successful claim, and also make sure that the product itself is approved for distribution in Spain.   It is also important to determine, in advance, precise details of the complaints procedure were a disagreement to arise, and what opportunities exist for independent arbitration in the event that a dispute is contested.   Background checks on the advisory firm are also a perquisite and the firm should be able to indicate its long-term compliance record in all areas of its business activities, be it in Spain or elsewhere.  

 

The Spanish regulators CNMV have a web site and telephone number available for people to check to see if a particular company is registered with them to be able to offer financial advice or services:
