    Martin states that you are allowed to send them a PM if you want to.

    Advisers are not allowed to contact you by PM but you are allowed to contact them. What you do is your choice.

    From the rules:
    Mortgage Advisers should not tout for business on the boards or in PMs. There should be no posts or unsolicited PMs offering mortgage adviser services. Nor should advisers ever say ‘see my profile for who I work for’ or make any other such comment.

    However if a user requests their service either via PM or forum post then I have no objection to that and the business generated. Yet if someone requests the service by a post on the board, the broker should simply post to say “I will PM you” rather than posting details there.
    Any mortgage adviser found to be flouting this ‘no touting’ rule will potentially lose their rights to post on the forum (PPR). This applies whether the adviser is using a signature or not.
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.
