What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Back in 2015/16 in our mid 40's my partner and I had a conversation about retirement. We had always thought that it was a long time off and that the future would take care of itself in some way. After working out how much we thought we would need each year to have a good lifestyle and then multiplying it by how many years that would be over we realised that we going to be very short.
How has Jeremy Bostock helped you?
Jeremy initially advised about the best options available and also helped transfer a small private pension to get this started. Over the following years we have met annually and the pension has been adjusted each time to get the best plan available. He also advised us to look into estate planning and power of attorney which we have now done, for anyone who has yet to look into this it's well worth spending 10 minutes to see how important it is.. On our most recent visit Jeremy carried out a "Cashflow modelling plan". This is something that I've tried to do myself over the years with figures on bits of paper with very limited results. All of our planned incomes were entered into the model, these included our current pension pots, planned future earnings including the option of reduced hours when we both reach a certain age and also our current/future outgoings. People often speak about how much you will need to enjoy a comfortable retirement, this modelling plan gave a realistic breakdown of how much we should hopefully have available and it was also adjusted for inflation.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
We're currently on track to where we want to be. Jeremy's advice has proved invaluable over the years and I would recommend everyone to see a financial adviser whatever their circumstances.
What could they have done better?
I can't think of anything that could have been done better.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I had a number of different pension pots from various jobs and wanted to get a better idea of where they were up to and my options for consolidating them.
How has Jeremy Bostock helped you?
Jeremy undertook a detailed review of my existing pension plans together with my current financial position and set out a series of recommendations tailored to my circumstances. This involved leaving some plans in place and consolidating two private plans to provide a better opportunity for growth. The analysis provided was in depth but presented in a clear way for someone like me who is lay person when it comes to these things. I am also updated on performance on an annual basis. He also provided guidance from colleagues regarding other financial matters relating to my family and we have built in some further financial protection on the back of this - this gives me some comfort that we are covered if anything unexpected happens.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, my now combined pension pots have performed really well and above average (which goes back to Jeremy’s approach to being clear about how they perform).
What could they have done better?
Nothing from my perspective, I’ve found Jeremy to be very professional, personable (he genuinely seems to have an interest in his clients and their families) and responsive. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

He referred to his colleague at Holcome Financial services she wanted £1,500 up front fee for Equity Release Rip off!
Jeremy:
Hi David As you are aware, I do not personally provide advice on equity release which was the reason for your enquiry. Equity release is a specialist area and requires specialist advice which is the reason I referred you to my colleague who advises in this area. Upon receiving your enquiry my colleague was very unsure whether equity release would be the right solution for the situation that you described and requested that you provided further information so that this could be analysed. This was not provided and as this was only a fairly short, one off telephone conversation, this was not established for you therefore. Equity release was an enquiry you were specifically interested in and was not introduced to you by my colleague. After full analysis, if equity release is the right outcome for a particular client then my colleague's fees would apply on application to an agreed lender, not prior to research and significant work being completed. To receive advice in the best way, my colleague recommends her clients to explain their goals and circumstances, which she would then analyse, and then introduce the best solution to them. You approached my colleague with the solution. In terms of cost for equity release work, if advisable, the costs quoted to you were competitive and, I believe, lower than you had been quoted elsewhere. If you require further help my colleague would be happy to continue deal with your enquiry. Kind regards. JeremyReview

With the "Lockdown" measures in place and use of electronic media face to face meeting have become more common place. In reviewing the annual investment and markets I found this better for communications between Jeremy and myself, which previously due to the distances between our locations, took place during a telephone call.

I believed that my employer's defined benefit scheme wasn't the best option for me & I needed an IFA's advice & help to transfer my funds into an alternative scheme.
How has Jeremy Bostock helped you?
Jeremy reviewed my situation & my options with me & via his risk assessment process we concluded that my best option to meet my wants & needs was indeed to transfer out to a private pension plan.

The need (or not) for ongoing yearly review (with associated charges) didn't really seem merited for the pension plan that I was taking out & this aspect of the advice could be clearer.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I had recently become self-employed and needed to set up a new pension for myself and consider the best way of protecting my income in case of illness.
How has Jeremy Bostock helped you?
Jeremy looked at my existing pensions and arranged for transfer valuations. He listened to my risk preference and in the end we decided to leave the existing arrangements in place and I started a new pension with an amount I'm comfortable paying in the long term. He also arranged for one of his colleagues to talk me through the available options for income protection and she worked with me to get the best product for me.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
My new pension is now in place, something I would have found very difficult to make a decision on alone and I'm pleased that I'm saving for my retirement again. I feel more secure with the income protection policy in place and I felt that Jeremy's colleague really listened to my needs with this.
What could they have done better?
Pension and income protection were the two things that felt most urgent to me but I would have been happy for Jeremy to suggest looking at other areas. I will have to contact him again to get further advice.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I was nearing retirement age and had three different company pensions, one of which was winding up their pension scheme and recommended that I seek help from a Financial Adviser. This was also the time of change to the pension rules which we (my wife and I) were finding confusing. In addition I had just received a substantial compensation payout from a serious road accident. We decided to talk to Jeremy Bostock of Holcombe Financial Services.
How has Jeremy Bostock helped you?
I was satisfied and felt comfortable with the advice given by Jeremy and felt confident going forward. The products were explained very well and Jeremy showed very good product knowledge. At no time did we feel under pressure and found Jeremy very patient in going over issues (some several times). I don't think anything could have been done better. Dealing with Jeremy as a person could also not have been better, very polite, knowledgeable, efficient and good attention to detail. My situation was that I was nearing retirement and needed advice on how to best move forward on 3 pensions. Jeremy gave confident advice on suggesting ways to proceed. It is now 3 year since our first dealing with HFS and we are seeing the benefits on the investments chosen with the guidance from Jeremy.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
The proof of the pudding or course is the eating and three years latter we are seeing the benefits both in the pension investments and lump sum savings investments which are providing a good income. Although my pension is primarily to give financial security for us both during retirement the advice given (and taken) should enable us to pass on a substantial amount to our children and grand children.
What could they have done better?
Before selecting HFS we did look at a couple of alternatives but got the feeling we would be just numbers but with Jeremy Bostock we immediately felt it was someone who was genuinely interested in our custom not just for the fees he will receive but primarily what would be best for us. I am not widely experience with Financial Advisers but I can't really think of anything that could be done better. We get a yearly updates of our financial position with both both in writing together with face to face meetings. We get news letters during the year with general financial information and if we have any queries they are also answered promptly via telephone or email, usually within a day.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Consolidation of old pension plans. Changes to my existing company pension, then when I changed jobs ensuring that my plans were setup correctly so there would be no awkward problems when I come to retire. This advise also made sure that my family were protected and catered for should anything happen.
How has Jeremy Bostock helped you?
Detailed explanation in terms that I could understand on what suited me, my profile and the risks I was willing to accept. Jeremy also selected the companies and policies that allowed me to get reasonable returns without any future repeat policy changes that cost money.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes. Everything is clear and easy, with annual review meetings.
What could they have done better?
It is hard to suggest an improvement not being in the Financial sector. You have to hope that you find a good reliable acredited person that gives you advise you understand and are comfortable with. This I think I have.

help withe the future, of me my family, and the the direction to take if changes dictate as i get older and grumpier.
How has Jeremy Bostock helped you?
It was better than expected, and he showed patience, with my lack of understanding details. No pressure, I was allowed to re-question anything I was not sure about and was given a few days to go through the information he was recommending. I was very happy with the dealings I had with Jeremy. It made no difference that I had only a small amount of finance to deal with Jeremy spent as long as necessary, going through the basics and explaining which product would be beneficial, to my situation. Can’t think of anything he could have done better. I feel that my future financially is in the best place it can be at this present time. I would recommend Jeremy to anyone who might need an advisor.

Wasn't sure what I would need and so looked for assistance in an expert in this field.
How has Jeremy Bostock helped you?
The service was excellent. Everything was explained well and clearly plus all my questions were answered. Everything was provided in layman's terms if required. At no point did I feel condescended - it was excellent! plus it was concise. I was advised at the beginning that no decisions had to made imminently. To be honest everything was explained so well I was happy to make decisions there and then. My dealings with Holcombe Financial Services were great! I will deal with them if required in the future. Yes, I will certainly recommend them to other people - in fact I have already done so.

Yes it is exactly what I required.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I had a company pension which I wanted to transfer to a personal pension plan.
How has Jeremy Bostock helped you?
I was considering what to do with my pension pot having left bank employment. I didn’t know what my options were. Jeremy explained the options I had. He explained the ins and outs and asked lots of questions to ascertain my future plans/needs, my circumstances and attitude to risk. He then explained clearly what he recommended and importantly why he was making that recommendation. I was very satisfied with the technical and product knowledge even though I have some knowledge due to my time in financial services. Jeremy explained everything very clearly. I was given as long as I needed to make my decisions and Jeremy went through things as many times as I needed until I was sure I understood. He was brilliant.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes.
What could they have done better?
I wouldn't add to or change anything about the service as received, I am a very satisfied customer.

I have been asked to give you feedback regarding my experience with Jeremy. I can only say that dealing with Jeremy and Holcombe Financial Services has for me been a good experience. All staff have been wonderful especially Jeremy and Zak. Hope you all have a brilliant Christmas.

I have been very pleased with Jeremy and his team. They have kept me informed of how my investments are doing; and been invited to annual review meetings to see if the product i'm on is still appropriate for my circumstances.

I don't think i could have had better service. There was no 'hard sell' but gave me a clear view of the options open to me. Jeremy has managed to grow my investment quite substantially. I'm very happy with what he has done for me.

We were unhappy with our previous financial advisor.
How has Jeremy Bostock helped you?
After being unhappy with our previous financial advisor, I considered organising the remortgage without one. I had met Jeremy through the discussions about my company pension so I decided to give him a try. I am glad I did, as everything went very smoothly and I didn’t have to worry about making an expensive mistake. Jeremy (and Zak) was always happy to explain everything in as much detail as I required. I was very happy with the level of advice I received. Everything was explained very clearly and all my questions were answered in the meetings or later by phone or email. There was absolutely no pressure to commit to anything. I was able to go away and discuss the advice with my partner. Jeremy explained that there would be no fee until the mortgage had completed.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes.

I was reducing my working hours and needed to boost my income.
How has Jeremy Bostock helped you?
The advice I received was to enable me to proceed with financial funds when reducing my working hours. I was very satisfied; I appreciated the way the information was explained to me. I felt all through the meetings with Jeremy that he understood what I wanted to achieve and he explained things to me in a way that I understood. Jeremy was very helpful if I was unsure about anything and listened if I did ask for more detailed information. When dealing with Jeremy I did not at all feel under pressure and unaware of anything that could have gone better. I would defiantly recommend Jeremy to others and again appreciate all that he did.
