Mortgage Brokers - Glossary H

Peter Hargreaves and Stephen Lansdown founded Hargreaves Lansdown in 1981, and remain in charge of the company to this day.

HL has six major operating divisions and employs over 470 staff. Although a large brokerage, HL aims to keep a small company, proprietor-owned mentality in their dealings. HL carries an extremely broad level of authorisation from the FSA, and uses this to offer investment advice on a wide range of topics.

HL have continually strived to offer the best advice possible to their clients, providing high quality financial comment with a commitment to deliver the Best Information with the Best Service at the Best Prices.

In recognition of this commitment Hargreaves Lansdown have been the recipients of numerous awards. HL views their clients as long-term partners, and will give them the same attention post-investment as pre-investment.

HL listens to their clients, researching attitudes, requirements and concerns on a monthly basis. Using their position of power in the market HL can put pressure on the investment industry to make their products cheaper, more transparent and their charges less.

Hargreaves Lansdown has teamed up with the mortgage broker John Charcol in order to provide better mortgage services to their clients. John Charcol is a respected leading mortgage broker, and has been offering independent mortgage advice for over 30 years. They have access to over 4,000 mortgages from more than 100 lenders, and in conjunction with HL could get you the best deal possible.

The Heath Lambert Group are Europe’s leading independent insurance and reinsurance broker, but this is only a small part of their overall services offered.

They provide cutting-edge risk advice, benefits consulting and insurance broking. The success of Heath Lambert Group comes from their ability to remain independent, fast, flexible, open and responsive.

The Heath Lambert group has a head office in the city of London, but deals nationally and internationally, with clients and operation throughout the world. The group is proud of the fact that they have retained a strong network of regional UK offices staffed by people with local knowledge and local experience.

The Heath Company is venerable; Cuthbert Heath, an insurance market pioneer, founded it in 1877. Using their generations of experience, together with high standards and constant innovation, Heath Lambert occupies a strong position in the market. The group have seen considerable financial restructuring over the past decade, and have emerged recently at their most streamlined.
