      <title>Stonehaven launch Interest Select</title>
      <link>http://adviser.stonehaven-uk.com/news/view/14</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Stonehaven are delighted to announce the launch of Interest Select.  The only product in the market where your client can pay part or all of the interest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How does it work?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8226;  Like our previous Interest Only product, your client will receive a lump sum (min &#163;20,000)&lt;br /&gt;
&#8226;  The maximum amount your client can borrow will depend on the LTV&#8217;s and the interest rates they will pay.&lt;br /&gt;
&#8226;  Your client can select how much interest they want to pay (min &#163;25 per month) and for how long they want to make the payments.&lt;br /&gt;
&#8226;  If your client elects to pay less than 100% of the interest, the loan is effectively split into two parts;&lt;br /&gt;
     * The Interest payment part&lt;br /&gt;
     * The Interest roll-up part&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Try our &lt;span class="caps"&gt;KFI&lt;/span&gt; Generator&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you would like to generate a &lt;span class="caps"&gt;KFI&lt;/span&gt; for Interest Select go to our &lt;a href="https://kfi.stonehaven-uk.com/login"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;KFI&lt;/span&gt; Generator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you have forgotten your password, click here to reset your password please &lt;a href="https://kfi.stonehaven-uk.com/account/forgot_password"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here to help&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you would like more information, you can go to our &lt;a href="http://adviser.stonehaven-uk.com/products/interest_select_options"&gt;Interest Select Page&lt;/a&gt;  Otherwise, please phone us on 0800 068 0212 (option 3) or email support@stonehaven-uk.com&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Stonehaven launch Interest Select Roadshows</title>
      <link>http://adviser.stonehaven-uk.com/news/view/13</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Stonehaven are delighted to invite Advisers to a series of roadshows to launch our new Interest Select Lifetime Mortgage product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The roadshows will demonstrate how this new product can increase overall sales, as well as providing all the details that you need to know about the product and it&#8217;s benefits.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lifetime Mortgages are becoming an increasingly popular way for homeowners over the age of 55 to release cash from their property. Some homeowners however worry that taking out a roll-up Lifetime Mortgage means that the size of the loan increases as interest on the initial loan accumulates over time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Stonehaven Interest Select Lifetime Mortgage has been designed to address these concerns by offering the homeowner the opportunity to pay some or all of the interest on the loan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The roadshows will be held in both the morning and afternoon on the following dates:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;17th February (10.00am or 2.00pm):  Manchester&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Copthorne Hotel.  Clippers Quay&lt;br /&gt;
