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

I knew that I needed advice.

How has Edwin Snapper FPFS helped you?

I had 2 pensions that needed looking at and I was unaware of my options. To be honest I was quite confused - Edwin was brilliant, I gained the clarity I needed very quickly and I received great advice on what choices I had. All in plain English which made it very easy for me to have confidence in Edwin's services. Thank you Edwin.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes - very much so.

What could they have done better?

Nothing I can see - Edwin got back to me as promised every time and I understood every step of the way.

How has Edwin Snapper FPFS helped you?

Always available with well thought out responses particular to our needs put across in a way easily understood, avoiding technical jargon but without being patronising. He is very helpful when dealing with third parties. What I also found refreshing was that ever he was not 100% certain about something he would be honest and come back to us when he had ascertained exactly what the answer was rather than try to bluff through it as so many do.

What could they have done better?

Wish I could help, but cannot think of a thing that he could have done better.

How has Edwin Snapper FPFS helped you?

Edwin has provided excellent services to our company during the process of auto enrolling our employees in the pension scheme. It has been somewhat of a tedious process to go through and Edwin has made it much easier to understand and, more importantly much easier for our employees to understand by providing detailed information booklets and letters which are clear and easy to read. One of his greatest attributes is that he always responds very quickly (even when he's out and about), which can be invaluable when you are up against deadlines! Edwin's technical knowledge is always up to date and he has a very professional and calm manner.

As we were first time buyers we had not much understanding of the property market, we searched for an adviser and Edwin has been recommended to us by a friend of ours.What he really does well... he had answered patiently and clearly all our questions, he has been available and always happy to come over when we needed help or information. We felt very comfortable to deal with Edwin and we would use his services again in the future.

Edwin finds out exactly what product you require and why. He then explains in layman terms what this means, what the potential risks are and the cost of the product. He also provides comparisons against other products so you are aware of the other options. Even the simplest and maybe silliest of questions are taken on board and answered clearly without making you feel inadequate.

Edwin is very good at putting you at ease with talking about financial affairs, we needed to consolidate a few small, non performing pensions and lump them together to try to make them more efficient and this was done nice and quickly so its much less complicated than it was. Edwin is usually dressed very casually so you don't feel intimidated by a slick, Sunday best suit! (he does have a suit though because I have seen it)

How has Edwin Snapper FPFS helped you?

Edwin Snapper has been advising me on my personal financial matters for around a year. He has always given me clear advice about my options and what he feels is best for me. This has included clear and realistic projections of expected retirement income and a range of protection for my family which gives me great peace of mind. During the time I have worked with Edwin the value of my pension fund has increased significantly and I couldn't recommend his services more highly.

He always goes the extra mile to make sure he finds the best financial services product to fit your needs and he's very straightforward about fees and explains things well in laymans terms. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Edwin has helped us in many financial ways. Our first contact involved sourcing an investment vehicle for a discretionary will trust with low risks attached which Edwin did quickly and efficiently at a trying time. He then helped us gain a mortgage on a crumbling ruin of a house before we had sold our other home. What could have been a very stressful and frustrating time was made easy by Edwins wide knowledge of available products, access to preferential rates and perseverance in the face of adversity! We are now re-mortgaging with Edwin's help to turn our crumbling ruin into a dream home, a process which is well well underway. Without Edwin's help I have no doubt we would not be in the position we are now. Edwin has also given us advise on insurance products and on general financial planning. What Edwin does well is understand quickly what our needs are for any given situation and then act promptly to give a range of possible solutions which are always well researched and very well explained. He is always up-front about any fees or costs involved and I am happy to trust him implicitly with anything of a financial nature.

Edwin was instrumental in helping the Company set up a new Group Personal Pension Scheme, Payment Protections Plans and Life and Health Insurance. He also supported a TUPE consultation process which involved a change in pension provisions for the workforce and all the questions and answers involved in that process. I have found him to be knowledgable and also extremely responsive in providing support and answers to questions.
