What does this mean?
  • An introducer appointed representative can only pass your details to its principal firm. It cannot recommend products, give financial advice, or arrange deals on its own.
  • Local Authority Search Network Limited (FRN 1054352) introduces customers to CLS Property Insight Limited (FRN 718255). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Local Authority Search Network.
  • Example: if Local Authority Search Network refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Local Authority Search Network itself.
  • Before you proceed, confirm contact details match the official FCA register for both firms. Scammers sometimes clone legitimate AR names and FRNs but use fake phone numbers and websites.
