Why 67/100, and not 100?
The points below are not deducted: they are not yet awarded, for lack of a public source to check them. Payotte neither estimates nor invents any data.
- Local anchoring in City of Aberdeen incomplete. The establishment in City of Aberdeen is counted (8 points). Missing: pages of the firm's website about City of Aberdeen, the number of deals completed in City of Aberdeen in the last twelve months, the firm's working languages or speciality. A figure such as the number of deals completed in an area only exists at the firm.
- No checkable distinction found (award, press mention, publication, association). Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
- Regulator stated without an identifier. The firm's website names the FCA Register, without a number you can check yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Which firm does Payotte select as mortgage adviser in City of Aberdeen?
Payotte selects Protect Mortgage Solutions as mortgage adviser in City of Aberdeen, with a score of 67/100 (partial · below the 70/100 threshold).
Do I need an adviser to get a mortgage?
Nothing we read says so. You can approach lenders directly, and an adviser is a choice. Compare the cost against what you gain.
Is the rule the same in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?
The FCA's pages we read speak of the UK as a whole and do not distinguish the four nations.
How does Payotte choose this firm?
Payotte selects a single firm per trade and per area, scored out of 100 points from public data. The public grid has five criteria: Google reviews (35 points), age of the company (30), checkable regulator or register (15), local anchoring (15) and bonus (5). Companies only, never individuals.
Can a firm pay to be ranked?
No. The ranking is never paid for. No firm can buy its place or its recommendation. Payotte is free, with no advertising and no commission.
How can I check this firm's regulator?
The regulator or register is declared on the firm's website; Payotte does not read the register on your behalf. Check it with the official body: Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the FCA Register. The company number SC501786 can be checked at Companies House.
What does the score of 67/100 mean?
It is an editorial assessment by Payotte, not an official label. This score is below the 70/100 threshold: the listing is partial, as some data could not be recorded.
Do you run this firm? Correct or complete your listing.
