Paul Davis

Review from verified client

October, 2023

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

I was looking for an adviser to help me through the mine field of how to ensure my various pension pots enabled me to retire but also allowed me to live to a reasonable standard.

How has Paul Davis helped you?

I communicated with a few people to try and find someone that I was comfortable with. I am still working so having someone call me when it was agreed and speak in "normal language" and not "pension lingo" was critical. Paul was brilliant, he arrived on time and was very patient in explaining all the pension jargon and what it would mean to me.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Paul revisited me, with a very comprehensive report, based on our first meeting. He went through the report and answered all questions I had. The recommendations he proposed, made sense to me so my initial outcome has certainly been achieved. I now understand and have confidence that my upcoming retirement will not be as daunting as first thought. So thou early days the outcome is looking very positive.

What could they have done better?

I cannot really think of anything, as all my questions and worries, at this point have been addressed.

Paul was a very good listener and after explaining my situation he knew the answer straight away. I was able to ask him more questions and he kindly explained to me one by one. I might even take advantages of one of his service.

I was very surprised to get this quality of advice during a free consultation (as suggested via Money Saving Expert). There was no hard sell or attempt to engage me in further consultations - in fact, after speaking with Paul, we understood that my situation was best met via other specialist advice and he was happy for me to do so. Unusual experience in this day and age! un

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

Work life had become intolerable and I was looking for a solution.

How has Paul Davis helped you?

Paul genuinely cares about what he does and making a difference. I was in a dire situation. Paul took the time to understand my circumstances then gave me very clear, straightforward and practical advice which I was able to implement.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Paul's advice and guidance have proved to be life changing: in the space of a year from when I first contacted him I have been able to retire and relocate to be closer to family as well as establish financial security for the long term. Paul is knowledgeable, approachable and a complete professional. I can recommend him without hesitation.

What could they have done better?

I can't see how Paul could have improved on anything he has done.

Paul's reply

Dear Joy, what can I say - it’s a privilege to help anyone but it’s even more rewarding when I’ve been able to influence a life changing event that enables you to improve your health and quality of life. Life, sometimes can be too short, so when the opportunities present themselves to make the most of what we have; it’s a brave thing to grab them and trust your instincts. Which is what you have done. I look forward to working with you and I’d like to say thank you for your kind words - it’s really appreciated. Best wishes, Paul

I am sure that I ticked the closest box to mortgage and loans but he does not provide this service. You and he should make sure that enquirers are correctly screened to get them to the right advisor.

Paul's reply

Hi Stuart, if there is any issue with the VouchedFor site I will get this investigated. There is a separate search process on VouchedFor to find mortgage brokers rather than Independent Financial Advisers. I hope you find the right person to assist you with your enquiry. Kindest regards, Paul

Paul was great. He took time to fully explain options in as simple terms as possible. I did not feel rushed. He offered guidance on how to arrange some things myself online without outside help. And he referred me to another firm which specialised in an area I needed help in. So overall, he gave his time up for free and offered me valuable advice even though there was no potential benefit to his company. Plus his manner was patient and friendly. Strongly recommended.

Paul was pleasant and not at all pushy, he gave me lot's of advice re my options to access my pension pot. So I was very happy up to that point. It was only when it worked out that I will need certain forms to be filled out by a financial advisor I understood what the fee would be and that was close to £3k . The problem is because Paul does live a fair way from me I wouldn't be able to find out face to face how that fee would be justified and what I would gain from Paul's advice. I spoke to a close friend and he put me in touch with his financial advisor who is coming to see me this Thursday (24/05) so all my options and what fees I will have to pay can all be laid out in front of me. I understand that no one works for nothing and i'm happy with that , I just need to know how I will benefit. I would still recommend Paul , if you live close to him , and judging by his positive reviews you should be in good hands.

Paul's reply

Hi Michael, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review it is really appreciated. It would have been better with a face-to-face meeting but unfortunately due to COVID we (as a firm) are still not meeting clients this way until at least 21st June, to protect us and our clients as much as possible. However, technology does still allow us to have online meetings but this was not an option you wanted to take, which I totally understand and dealing with someone more local to you will be easier for you going forward. Hopefully, the person you are going to meet is an Independent Financial Adviser and also has the FCA permissions to advise on 'safeguarded benefits' such as Guaranteed Annuity Rates because the advice you need must be offered by someone who has this. In any event, I wish you the very best for the future but feel free to contact me again if you need any help. Best wishes, Paul

Review from verified client

March, 2021

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

Needed to review poorly performing pension pots located in a variety of places

How has Paul Davis helped you?

Paul reviewed my investments some years ago, and advised me to pool them into one pot and look at drawdown as opposed to annuity. This has enabled me to retire at 55 on a relatively limited pension pot, which is something I never expected to be able to achieve. In addition he has been very upfront with me when it comes to advising me on subjects he doesn't specialise in, and recommending advice elsewhere ( In the case of equity release) that has completed my retirement portfolio in a very satisfactory way.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Absolutely. Despite the awful financial year we have just been through I am looking forward a to happy retirement with enough funds to enjoy some good times.

What could they have done better?

I really can not of think of anything.

Paul's reply

Dear Ian, Thank you so much for your kind words, it is really appreciated. I'm so glad that you and Becky have been able to enjoy your retirement to the full, whilst you still have your health and many years ahead of you to make lifelong memories. Best wishes, Paul

Very helpful and took onboard my needs of reaching out to a Financial Adviser. He took time to listen and give feedback on what my possible options were. I am currently digesting the advice/feedback he gave and Paul has kindly offered to assist me with the subject matter we discussed in a future call. I am grateful for Paul's time and patience. A very switched on individual and talked to me in terminology that I understood - didn't blind me with science, which was the result I had wished for.

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

My husband realised that our savings needed to be properly invested.

How has Paul Davis helped you?

He came to visit us and gathered all the information necessary to invest our savings in the best way by setting out several plans for my husband and myself to think about and decide on .When we had thought them through he then set the wheels in motion for the route we decided was best for our investments.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

We have been clients of Paul since 1998 unfortunately my husband passed away earlier this year so I am now relying on Paul to help with re investing any monies available from his estate . My husband was always the one who checked on the progress of any investments made but when he died I found Pauls name and phone number to be contacted asap to help me with sorting out our savings and to help me with what turned out to be much needed advice and help for which I am very grateful.

What could they have done better?

I must be honest and say I really cannot think of a thing he has done incorrectly he was indeed a life line during a time when I felt I needed someone to turn for advice at an extremely difficult time.

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

We had pension funds we did not fully understand. We did not understand the tax implications Paul explained all in such a way he cleared away any falsehoods we were interpreting about taxation in retirement.

How has Paul Davis helped you?

Paul came to us on time, he put at ease. He explained the differences between final salary and private pension. Paul was very clear in his explanations and explained many elements of holding pensionable sums that were of little value. He removed a lot of our fears for the future. Paul's professionalism has ensured we approach retirement in a more confident mood. The best service we have received in years. Thank you.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

The information offered has satisfied us and has also been of benefit in 2 pensions schemes that the return on was far n excess of our expectations. This visit from Paul has proved very timely allowing us a period of time to get our affairs in order in readiness for retirement.

Very professional. Clear honest advice - in this case, with my position it was not advisable for me to take any action. Paul was very honest with this and did not try to push any additional services. Would recommend highly!

Paul presented himself well and gave me a clear undestanding on what he could offer and the cost. I felt very comfortable discussing financial matters with him.

Paul visited in the evening and spent two hours discussing various financial matters. We found him very friendly and easy to get along with. There was definitely no hard sell and Paul explained the secret of his longevity in the business is to ensure he treats every client in the same way, no matter their financial circumstances. We liked that very much. Paul took the time to explain Capital Gains and Pensions to us in some detail, which is what we needed. We felt his advice was unbiased and straightforward and if we didn't understand something he was happy to go over it again.

Paul contacted me when he said he would which is very high on my list of credentials. My enquiry was on behalf of my elderly parents and he did not hesitate to confirm that a home visit was not an issue.

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

First of all to consolidate our savings in a way that was appropriate for our situation. We later called on his services regarding further advice regarding investment particularly concerning pension matters.

How has Paul Davis helped you?

Although we have only known Paul for around 18 months during this time we have always found him to be not only a very likeable person but one that is very easy to talk to, patient and willing to explain information at a level we can understand. That's very important to us! Once that he understood both our attitudes to risk and the reason why we had consulted him in the first place he was soon able to reassure us and come up with a suitable plan. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to someone in the same situation.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

We remain reassured that Paul is working hard on our behalf. He certainly is always extremely up to date on all changes happening in the financial world. He continues to be not only easy to contact but approachable in his manner.

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

Coming up for retirement age.

How has Paul Davis helped you?

Have received good advice re my current pensions already set up, one of which is being currently paid into, the remainder having no contributions paid into for quite a few years. As I am nearing the pension age set up on my pensions, I needed advice when I first met Paul about possible pension dates, my current financial situation at that time and the possibility of my being able to retire at the age that the pensions had provisionally been set up. Since my initial meeting I have had yearly meetings with Paul who has given me constructive advise.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Am now retired.

What could they have done better?

As far as I am concerned I am more than happy with the service Paul has given me to-date.

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

It was suggested that an IFA might be able to help us.

How has Paul Davis helped you?

My husband and I used Paul as our IFA for many years. He took time to get to know us, listen to what we wanted and then advised accordingly. When my husband died Paul stepped in immediately and advised and supported me. I trust him implicitily, he speaks in my language and isn't at all pushy. I value his support and advice and have been happy to recommend him to my family and friends. Thank you Paul.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Absolutely - yes. With Paul's advice and under his watchful eye, my investments and savings have grown. I continue to recommend him to family and friends.
