What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

My husband and I had been talking about getting our finances in to some sort of order for a few years - friends had recommended Ross and Anne and we weren't disappointed - We wanted to remortgage and look at all of our insurance policies and we had many - the advice was invaluable. They were very friendly and the advice was invaluable. In the middle of processing our remortgage our local town page had someone asking for recommendations for mortgages and low and behold Anne and Ross came out on top with such great reviews which gave us even more peace of mind that we had chosen to use them. I have already recommended them to friends.

How has Ross Bennett helped you?

He helped us understand what we were insured for and what was on the market that would be useful. He showed us competative rates,charges and terms of mortgages. We ask alot of questions and Ross answered the lot, if he didn't have instant answers Anne followed them up the next day - The whole experience was painless which was great.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

We were successful getting the terms and rates for our mortgage. We now understand what we need to look for regarding life policies. We saved almost half our early costs on our buildings and contents insurance.
