FAQs
Is your firm Independent?
Yes. And being independent means we are able to research and recommend financial products from across the whole market. This allows us to provide advice that is based on what is best for you, rather than being restricted to a particular provider or panel of products.
Are you regulated?
Yes. We are authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). This means we must meet strict professional and ethical standards and always act in our clients’ best interests.
How do you charge for your advice?
For wealth management services we charge £1,500 upfront to set things up, and then 0.5% per annum of the assets that we manage for our ongoing advice and management service. We do not charge any fees for mortgage or protection services as we are remunerated directly by lenders and insurers.
What services do you provide?
We provide advice across a range of areas including: wealth management, retirement planning, mortgage advice, protection, and lifetime mortgages.
What happens in the first meeting?
The first conversation is for us to understand you. We will discuss your goals, current financial situation, and what you would like to achieve. It also gives you the opportunity to ask questions and decide whether our approach is right for you. We never charge for an initial consultation.
Do you provide ongoing support?
Yes. Financial planning is not a one-off event. We work with our clients on an ongoing basis, with regular reviews to ensure their plans remain aligned with their goals and any changes in their circumstances.
