Essex based Ingard Financial, which provides a range of services for Directly Authorised (DA) brokers and network support for Appointed Representatives (ARs), has a team of qualified advisers who will provide SRB advice to clients for both Ingard members and RPS.

Ingard has recently been granted a ‘variation of permission’ by the FSA to undertake SRB business.

Peter Beaumont, chief executive of RPS, said: “RPS has been working closely with Ingard during recent weeks and we have been impressed by their professionalism and the high quality of service they are able to provide to clients. We are looking forward to working with the Ingard team over the coming months.”

Nikki Haworth, head of sales and marketing at Ingard added: “The continued growth in unemployment means, regrettably, that more homeowners are going to struggle financially during the months ahead. The ethical Home Rescue & Buy Back Plan developed by RPS addresses head on all the criticisms made about SRB and gives homeowners a fair, safe and fully transparent way to resolve their financial problems and remain in their homes.”
