What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I decided that I would like to start saving for a morgage and contacted Sam for some advice.
How has Samuel Warren helped you?
He helped me set out a plan to get my morgage. Also while this was processing we went through different options for insurances that I would need.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, I couldn't of been happier. Being self employed and looking to buy a property alone, I did worry that I may struggle to do so. With Sams advice and guidance, it made it possible. Also having Sam help really took a lot of the stress away.
What could they have done better?
I couldn't fault Sam at all. He was extremely helpful and professional. Also very quick with responding which again helped a lot.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Had some excess funds after house sale and Sam talked us through our options.
How has Samuel Warren helped you?
After guiding us through our options Sam left us to talk them through then contacted us again after a few days to ask our decision. He has kept us informed ever since.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Absolutely, and it’s ongoing.
What could they have done better?
Sam has never been ‘pushy’, which is much appreciated. In the past, with other advisors, we have felt as if we HAD to invest with that person/company. In our opinion Sam has only ever been honest with us. He is a very friendly and approachable person.
