  • Face to Face Mortgage Solutions Ltd (FRN 474627) is an AR of Christopher Shaw (FRN 301880). When you use Face to Face Mortgage Solutions's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Face to Face Mortgage Solutions, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
