How has Alastair Livingstone helped you?

Having a diverse portfolio of projects, some with funding difficulty, I decided to try Alastair. Committed, professional and genuinely interested in us as a family. I now don't go anywhere else and in fact phone Alastair prior to my bank, accountant or indeed anyone else. He is also a great "blue sky thinker" and a first class sounding board for ideas. Don't waste your time with anyone else.

What could they have done better?

Don't change what isn't broken.

How has Alastair Livingstone helped you?

We used AKLFM for mortgage advise when we moved house and also when we needed to change deals at the end of a fixed term (4 times in total). They have always been able to find better deals than we would have found on our own. The service is very personal and really helped to make the process of arranging a mortgage stress free. AKLFM also offered some pension advice to my wife when she was changing jobs. As above the advice was excellent and removed all unnecessary hassle from the process.

What could they have done better?

Can't think of any. If I could we would probably have gone elsewhere the second time around.

How has Alastair Livingstone helped you?

Alastair takes time to fully explain his proposals and the options, he takes a holistic approach to his clients needs, he is exceptionally supportive and always takes time to research best value products. Having a genuine interest in his client's and their families.

What could they have done better?

Having dealt with a number of advisers over the years, I honestly don't think I can make any suggestions. Alastair provides the correct amount of support without being pushy.
