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

Initially I needed pension advise to decide if I could afford to retire and then to decide which method best suited my needs, annuity and/or drawdown.

How has Wayne Slater helped you?

Wayne clarified my options, explaining them in a manner that was both clear and simply. He has since given ongoing advice as to any my personnel financial circumstances ensuring that any pensions taken were taken in a manner that is tax efficient and suited my needs, he also is there for any questions I might have on financial matters not just referring to my pension, this ensures that I am fully informed of any changes that might be occurring which I might not be aware of and hence the knock on effect e.g. pensions being included within any IHT calculation.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes I was able to retire on an income that was right for me and give both give a certain amount of flexibility and security.

What could they have done better?

No, his service is everything I could of asked for.

First time buyers with limited financial knowledge

How has Wayne Slater helped you?

Wayne was fantastic in guiding us and ensuring we chose the best financial option available for us. He offered sound advice and no task was too much for him and his assistant Mark. They truly went above and beyond and during moments of uncertainty, Wayne was there to offer reassurance and clarity.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, we now own our own home and me and my family are financially secure thanks to the guidance provided by Wayne.

What could they have done better?

I honestly don’t feel there was anything they could have done more. They offered support constantly whilst never applying pressure. I couldn’t rate him high enough.

Wayne:

Hi Mark Thanks for your kind review. It was a pleasure dealing with you and Rebecca, and we wish you many years of happiness and good health in your new home. We look forward to being of service again in the near future. Kind Regards, Wayne and all Spectrum Independent
