Here’s how we help…
Helping with your immediate needs
We’ll work with you to address any immediate financial obligations you have, such as bills, mortgages and children. We aim to help to take away some of these early pressures, so you can feel less overwhelmed in these early days.
Understanding your pension options
Pensions can be complex, and you might be confused about what you have and what it all means. We can help explain the latest rules regarding your pension, and advise you on your options going forward, including what it means for your retirement.
Expert mortgage advice
If you’re moving out or selling your home, we can help you through the process of buying a new property. We’ll work out your borrowing capacity and explain the impact of different levels of deposit, equity and maintenance.
Collaborating with other professionals *
Depending on your situation, we can work with the likes of solicitors, mediators and accountants, providing our specialist expertise to ensure a smooth and collaborative process from beginning to end.
