I told Nadia of my circumstances and my concerns, and she gave me her, and the practices general opinions, which was exactly what I was hoping for. She did not negatively sell in any way, but did tell me about their offerings which was as it should be. Nadia was generous with her time, and did no "hard selling" I gained a positive opinion.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I changed company and wanted advice on my pension and future savings
How has Nadia Sutherland helped you?
Nadia was very thorough is helping me aggregate my disparate pensions and also guiding me on the risk I was prepared to take. At all times she was calm and analytical. In the end her advice helped save a pension (albeit thanks to the incompetence of my former company not at the level I had hoped) from a scheme that has now gone into the the government's protection scheme with considerable losses for existing holders.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes. Nadia still manages my pension scheme and I have been able to transfer my old occupational scheme into it with tax benefits.
What could they have done better?
Not sure what else she could have done on this scheme. So far so good

We didn't get to the point when we talk about charges because we can't afford a morgage at the moment. Nadia was very nice and helped us assess our current morgage situation. Although we can't afford morgage at the moment she still happily answered our other questions. We really appreciated that.

Nadia has been extremely helpful and professional. She was quick to follow up emails and phone calls, and gave a wide range of information and advice, even with no commitment from my side. Nadia's advice to date has been sensible and informed and I am confident that she will be able to give me the financial planning advisory that I need.

Useless. Could not help me. The report is basically what we discussed written down. I can imagine people paying £500 for a 20 minutes chat where the only recommendation can be "open a stocks and shares isa". Quite disappointing. However, lovely person.

Discussed what we wanted, the options available to us and why (for us) a fixed payout would be better than a declining payout (what we did have prior to talking with Nadia).

We are now covered with life insurance and income protection. Reassurance for us both.

Nil. We found Nadia to be very approachable. Came to see us at a time convenient to us.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I have taken early retirement and needed advice with regard to the pensions I am receiving and also with regard to investing money that I have inherited, to provide some additional income.
How has Nadia Sutherland helped you?
Nadia provided constructive and jargon free advice with regard to my financial situation, she also kept me 'grounded', I can be a 'bit of a risk taker'. The paperwork was also clearly understandable, not too daunting.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Presently the early retirement is working well. My income from various sources is good, enabling me to lead a contented life.
What could they have done better?
I cannot think of anything that could be improved, the advice I received was clear, concise and tailored to my needs.
Nadia's reply
Thanks for the review Anne. Glad to hear you are pleased and we will continue to ensure your contented life continues at our annual reviews!
