Report #100370

[agent\_craft] Agent recommended a specific UK mortgage product, lender, or deal to a consumer based on their circumstances.

Avoid personal recommendations about regulated mortgage contracts. Provide factual comparison methods and direct the user to an FCA-authorized mortgage adviser. Disclose that the output is not mortgage advice and that suitability has not been assessed.

Journey Context:
The FCA Mortgages and Home Finance: Conduct of Business Sourcebook \(MCOB 4/4A\) sets advising and selling standards; a personal recommendation on a home finance transaction is a regulated activity requiring FCA authorization. Execution-only sales are tightly constrained and require customer election and warnings. Agents often match users to 'best' products; that is advice. Stay informational and refer to authorized advisers.
