Peter tirelessly searched for a lender that would support our requirements. Even when it looked like all avenues had been exhausted, Peter went that extra mile, and with some creative thinking, managed to find a lender that was willing to consider our requirements. Once over this hurdle Peter then put us in touch with a specialist in commercial mortgages for our commercial property / business purchase.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Absolutely, we have been able to achieve exactly what we set out to do and could not have done that without Peter's help.

What could they have done better?

Peter is open and honest about all the options available and the chances of success. For me that is the key attribute in working with a financial specialist. I don't think there are any suggestions that would materially improve what Peter has done for us.

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

Approaching age 55 I wanted advice about accessing some of my small personal pension.

How has Peter Slack helped you?

He spent time going over all the options available and how they would affect me. He was always available to answer any questions I had either personally or by phone and email and this was always done very promptly. His help has been excellent and I had total confidence in the advice I received. I also feel he 'went the extra mile' taking me through the vast amount of paperwork my new pension provider supplied me with and the extra questions that I had from that. I never felt rushed or that anything was too much trouble. I would recommend his services to anyone especially those with no experience of financial matters as everything was explained fully.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes.

What could they have done better?

Honestly I feel the advice I received and the way the process was dealt with could not have been improved. Everything was done as and when I expected and I felt valued as a client.

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

Early retirement due to voluntary redundancy and wishing to invest pension income wisley.

How has Peter Slack helped you?

He gave a review of the investments we had currently. He gave us advice, based on understanding our requirements, on the most effective steps to take to generate future income. He ensured that we understood what these decisions meant . He undertook the searches for a previous pension and has kept in touch with us . The latter being the most important thing for us.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Still early days but we are very happy with what he has done so far. He has invested the money in funds that are right for the amount of risk we wish to take. He has given us practical advice about managing our funds and given a broad outline of what balance we should be holding in cash/funds. This was very useful and reassuring.

What could they have done better?

We are very happy with all the investments and advice. I do not think there was anything he could have done better!
