Don’t!!!
I can’t tell you what a minefield both of those are. Er, in fact I can!
I know, because I have been studying both for the past few months.
I will happily meet you or have a chat over the phone to give you some pointers.

The implications of a mortgage and retirement planning should be considered together as one could benefit the other.

From the other topic I started (apologies for starting a duplicate)

Hi all

Does anyone know a good Pensions adviser in the area? As a result of a transfer into a new legal entity at work, we have had to create a new Group Pension Plan and I would like some advice as to whether it’s best to leave my existing pot (18 years of contributions) as is, or transfer it into the new one. And I know NOTHING about pensions/finance…

Another call for recommendations for a good localish independent financial adviser. Mainly for pension planning and a bit of modest investment. Anyone?

You need to be careful when moving a pension pot. Some financial advisors receive a payment from the new pension provider for advising you to move.

That’s not what we’re intending to do.
