“I cannot recommend Nick and his team enough! Exceptional service from start to finish...Nick was extremely friendly and supportive of us being first time buyers, who where not really familiar with the process or terminology. He was responsive, clear, and reliable. Easily contactable the entire time to answer any questions we may have had. We are now officially homeowners and we feel extremely grateful we came in contact with Nick. We would 100% recommend!!”

“My wife and I were recommended ARK Financial Planning from our good friends and now we would highly recommend too. Bradley and Rebecca could not have been more helpful and accommodating. They offer a top class service and are both extremely professional and knowledgeable. They spent a generous amount of time discussing our queries and would respond back to any questions promptly, which we really valued. They both really do go the extra mile to ensure you feel comfortable and well informed on every decision. I recommend ARK to all my friends, family and colleagues.”

“We've been with Platinum now for a few years and Eeshan Gupta is our financial advisor for our private pension. He's been absolutely brilliant throughout the whole process and couldn't recommend him and Platinum enough. We love the personal approach where he visits our home for our annual reports, and he's very patient when it comes to any questions (however small or basic) we have.”

“Saf is an excellent Financial Adviser. He is very knowledgeable, we trust his advice & Suttons as they are a family run firm. We’ve been with them for years & wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.”

“I needed to improve my pension provisions, Alan Worthington came highly recommended and he certainly lived up to the recommendations. Alan has helped to transfer my existing provision into one place and helped me plan my long-term strategy for my finances. I am very happy with the outcome of Alans advice.”

“Philip Kemp has financial experience spanning many years in the industry. I found him via a google seach for advisers local to me, and he has proved to be a font of knowledge, presented in a manner that us lay people, in terms of financial issues, can readily understand. Philip's duty of care is second to none and having helped with an old pension that now will provide growth after being dormant for many years, we are moving on to investing a family legacy I have inherited with a view of ensuring my son gets full and proper benifit on my demise, and benifits myself in retirement. Would I recommed him to others, ABSOLUTLY, with Phillip you get an expert and a friend,”

“Michelle was a great help as I was purchasing my first home. I had a lot of questions and uncertainties which she explained thoroughly. Communication was excellent, particularly when my solicitors were slow and difficult to contact. She was always friendly and informative and went out of her way to help. I would definitely recommend her!! :)”

“Highly recommend Black and Gold Financial Services, me and my fiancé were recommended here by my grandma who had a very good experience 10 years ago, safe to say it’s only gone uphill and we will be referring all our friends and family to use them too. We are first time buys who had absolutely no idea what to do. Bobby and Lauren held our hands through the whole process, handled our questions perfectly and went out their way to ensure that we understood and were happy with every choice made. They had others such as Michael who helped us with the insurance side of things which was very helpful and comforting! At no point did we feel lost or like we had do figure it out ourselves. We are now enjoying decorating our brand new home alongside an adorable welcome package from them! Service couldn’t have been smoother and they handle anything that comes their way, thank you very much to the team at Black and Gold Financial Services!”

“Definitely happy with the service definitely recommend thank you so much now I can breathe again”

“I had Roy to help with my 1st mortgage which i would have dtruggled without him. Ive just remortgaged with Jack, and he has been amazing Couldn't have made it more easier and smoothly. He made it easy to understand, broke things down into detail to assist me. Highly recommend this company to anyone. Thanks again Mecury, you've been amazing! Speak in 2026 :)”

“If actions speak loudest, after interviewing every UK based fixed fee financial planner we could find online, we entrusted our parents financial affairs to Colin. Colin has a wonderful ability to communicate challenging concepts with clarity and patience. Colin is an advocate of passive, index investing. Colin's pricing is exceedingly fair, unlike traditional AUM fee structures that attempt to justify itself via fear mongering (with some variant of "this is too complex for you to do without us"). It is a shame Colin is such a rarity, if you can establish yourself as a client before he runs out of capacity, consider yourself lucky.”

“We recently reviewed our investments through Mark, having taken them out through his father in the 1990s. We wanted to make our investments IHT efficient and Mark helped us to do this efficiently.”

“I met with Ray to discuss my existing pensions as I had decided to start my own business. Ray reviewed my funds and spotted that I was taking more risk than what I was comfortable with and reallocated them. This was a seamless transaction and potentially saved me a lot of money as I had no idea about the risk I was taking.”

“Thank you so much to Clare at Slaiyburn for supporting me to set up savings and pensions pot my little boy. I wanted to start saving something for his future, making sure that he had some financial security, and also good financial habits from a young age. I knew that just putting money in a savings account wasn’t the best use of my money. But then when I started looking into other investments options, it just baffled me, and was a bit overwhelming. Clare’s so knowledgeable and patient, she took the time to explain all of the different options for me, helped me to make sense of the financial world. My little one now now has an investment savings and pension pot, that’s earning money for him already. Thanks again, I really appreciate how much time you afforded to me, to help me make the right decisions. I’ll be back again when my mortgage is due for renewal.”

“As a first-time buyer, I found the mortgage process to be complex initially; however, Komal, Sneha and the team at Finsso Financial provided exceptional guidance throughout. Komal and Sneha was highly professional, knowledgeable, and always clear in explaining each stage of the process. Communication was consistent and timely, and I felt fully supported from start to completion. I would confidently recommend Finsso Financial to any first-time buyer seeking reliable and professional mortgage advice.”

“This was my first time investing. I sat down with Tom who explained things clearly and I felt very comfortable with my chosen portfolio. His patience, professionalism and ability to make this experience an exciting prospect whilst being informative throughout certainly sets Chronos apart from other financial advisors.

“Great mortgage broker. I used Mike and Catherine who got us the best deal for our mortgage for our first home as we were self employed.”

“I cannot thank the team at Real Financial services enough, by far the best I have ever worked with! Charlie has been so helpful, supportive and informative throughout our re mortgage process. Charlie really takes on board your financial needs and what is realistic to your budget and lifestyle. There was no hard sell or time wasting on trying to push products that would have been too costly for us. The whole team responds quickly to any customer needs (which on the day of our completion was a god send). I have already recommend Real to family and friends and feel lucky to have such a trusted and personable company looking after our finances.”
