Bateman and Lynch Cars Tavistock Ltd

Bateman and Lynch Cars Tavistock Ltd (FRN 952557) is not directly authorised. It is an appointed representative acting under the responsibility of a directly authorised principal firm.

An appointed representative (AR) can carry out regulated financial services, but is not directly authorised by the FCA. A principal firm holds the authorisation and is legally responsible for the AR's conduct. Bateman and Lynch Cars Tavistock Ltd (FRN 952557) is an AR of Bateman & Lynch Cars Ltd (FRN 912240). When you use Bateman and Lynch Cars Tavistock's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm. Example: if you take financial advice from Bateman and Lynch Cars Tavistock, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances. Before you proceed, confirm contact details match the official FCA register for both firms. Scammers sometimes clone legitimate AR names and FRNs but use fake phone numbers and websites.

The FCA register lists the phone number 01579 340110 and the website batemanlynchcars.co.uk for Bateman and Lynch Cars Tavistock. If you were given different contact details, use these to check with the firm before going any further. The same number is also given by one other FCA firm.

Bateman and Lynch Cars Tavistock is a genuine FCA-listed firm, and the FCA has published no warnings about fake versions of it. Scammers do copy real firms, though, so check that any contact details you were given match the ones on the register.

Protection works through Bateman & Lynch Cars Ltd, the principal firm responsible for Bateman and Lynch Cars Tavistock's regulated activity. FSCS cover and the Financial Ombudsman Service apply as they would to the principal.
