How has Andrew Woolhouse helped you since your last review?
Everything I said in my previous review remains pertinent. We have regular face-to-face meetings either in person or remotely via Zoom. Andrew takes the time to understand my needs in retirement and explains my options should he feel there is any need to change my portfolio. Andrew is approachable and dependable, always acting promptly should I need to contact him. That said, I rarely need to contact him such is the confidence I have in him. Now, I have to admit that I have a financial background. With any investment attitude to risk, diversification, 'time in the market' and regular reviews are crucial. I cannot fault Andrew's advice and procedures. Nobody likes paying fees but on balance Andrew's fees represent good value and are competitive.

How has Andrew Woolhouse helped you since your last review?
Andrew keeps in contact with regular updates not only of my own portfolio but with other financial matters that he thinks may be of interest. He sought my permission to transfer my portfolio to another provider with lower fees and online access to my portfolio so that I can monitor progress as often as I like and performance has been exceptional. Pre covid we were having annual face-to -face reviews but understandably these are now via Zoom with onscreen access to all information, performance charts etc. This is probably the way forward. Whenever I have sought changes and/or information and whenever Andrew has recommended changes these have been attended to promptly. So all in all great service, value for money and performance outweighing the costs.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I started seeking advice when taking control of my elderly fathers finances and then wanted ongoing advice to optimise my resources and plan ahead for retirement.
How has Andrew Woolhouse helped you?
Andrew helped to review my overall financial circumstances, making a range of suggested improvements. This started with a focus on inheritance planning and moving onto a range of other aspects over the years since, including a managed investment fund.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes!
What could they have done better?
Struggling to think of anything here. Andrew has always been available and responsive whenever I’ve needed to talk things through.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I contacted Andrew in my late 50s for advice on the best way to structure my finances to allow me to retire at age 60 on a modest pension until guaranteed income from state & overseas pensions would commence at age 66.
How has Andrew Woolhouse helped you?
He recommended a drawdown pension arrangement invested in a smoothing of investment returns type of pension fund based on the client's Attitude to Risk/Capacity for Loss.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Absolutely. The funds performed very well, with the fund total at age 66 only £2k less than when invested - despite 6 years' of income and the effects of COVID 19 on the financial markets!
What could they have done better?
I'm happy with Andrew's advice. He is very personable and doesn't mind explaining things in more detail, ensuring I completely understand everything. We meet annually for a financial review, and he is always available if any queries arise in the meantime.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I had previously worked as a Financial Adviser, able to follow my own advice and deal directly with my pension provider. On ceasing to be a financial adviser, the product provider would no longer take my instructions and would only take instructions from a financial adviser. I had met Andrew when he worked for a major bank and I was contracted to a business owned by that bank.
How has Andrew Woolhouse helped you?
After a full discussion with Andrew during which he took time to understand my needs, plans and attitude to risk/loss he started to move my pension fund to other pension providers and we continue to do that from time to time. Future performance can never be known, past performance is never a guarantee for the future but charges and management style are known. Lower charges and a diversified portfolio have served me well over the four years that Andrew has been advising me.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
I have been in Pension Drawdown throughout the time Andrew has been advising me. Pre Covid, the growth rate has exceeded withdrawals. So, yes, I have seen the outcome I was hoping for.
What could they have done better?
I'm not sure there is anything Andrew could have done better. Pre Covid we had regular face-to-face meetings and all recommendations were documented together with his reasons for making any changes. During Covid we have had a virtual meeting which I think is probably the way advice will be given in future. During this meeting Andrew was able to show graphics that helped me to follow his recommendation. After the meeting he provided a detailed recommendation letter. I'm happy to recommend Andrew to my friends.

I feel that Andrew likes to talk more about what we don't need instead of concentrating on what we do need! It is too early to say which way we might yet go, but of the two we have seen my wife preferred Andrew Woolhouse. But I just couldn't follow his line of thought. What I was looking for was a clear idea of what was available to us, but instead Abdrew wished us to consider if our two members of our family who we have already asked if they could act for us as Power of attorney for us who both live in London currently were too far away from us to be able to do everyday jobs if we needed any doing? As we are currently married and in complete control of our faculties what I didn't follow was who knows where they might be living if the situation ever arose in the future? But my reasoning isn't that my children should carry us, on the contrary what we want is two people who could act for us should we not be capable ourselves whereby surely our two children could appoint someone to do the fetching and carrying for us if this ever was needed? And more important do any of us know where in the future we might be living at such a time of need? So I wanted financial assistance if offered what might appeal to me, but what I didn't need was passing the time of day regarding hypothetical situations regarding where my children now are as opposed to where we all might end up at a future unspecified time! I rest my case that although my wife preferred Andrew, I am now writing down that I wasn't too impressed! I am alive to what Andrew was suggesting but I wasn't impressed to spend time on that subject as opposed to why I really wanted an indipendent financial advisor. It isn't that there was no merit in what he went into, it's more that in doing so we didn't get to know what I needed to know, so I am left still very much undecided. Only time will tell which way we go, but in the meantime I will not be considering if a metior land on my home if I would have been better off by moving?

Hi John Thank you for your feedback, financial advice is about getting advice about what in our opinion is a cause for concern. Whilst you may not always agree with what we advise, it is said with best intention and advisers are not merely order taker to a client whim. We have a responsibility to point out to you financial issues and weaknesses. There is no point in creating a great investment solution or financial plan for you, if at the eleventh hour it falls down because the cost of long term care, inheritance tax or lasting powers of attorney have not been considered. I am sorry that you felt our advice was not align with your own intentions, however we pride ourselves on giving our clients the very best financial advice. Regards AndrewFirst impression

Advice was good but costs involved are far too high, nearly 10k to move a 100k pension to a sipp to be able to purchase a commercial property and then thousands per year to manage. Check all costs involved first !!!
Andrew:
Hi Paul Thank you very much for your feedback. I would just like to clarify our fees which you have made reference to, our advice fees are capped at 3% on the first £100,000 and then are reduced for larger amounts on a tiered basis. In order to be open and transparent, I gave you an indication of all fees which include the fees a typical SIPP pension company would charge to set and hold commercial property as an asset in a pension, the use of a commercial surveyor to value the property. As a business owner all fees would be tax deductible against your corporation tax and the long term taxation of holding property in a SIPP is very efficient, however they are expensive to arrange at outset. The £1000 per year on-going fees also included the SIPP management fees from the pension company as well as our own, which would be 0.8% based on £100k pension. All fees are disclosed upfront and in advance so you have a full understanding of all costs involved. AndrewReview

How has Andrew Woolhouse helped you?
I have known Andrew for a number of years now and he has always ensured that I am fully clued up on the advice he is issuing and that the products and service are to my requirements. He has never attempted to push me into something that I consider unfavourable for my requirements. Whilst we don't do alot of separate business and my needs are generally medium term he is always available to give me advice if I have questions or he feels I need to make adjustments. In addition, a very personable man who I now consider a friend.

How has Andrew Woolhouse helped you?
I have seen a couple financial advisers over the years, so I was a little sceptical . Andrew put me at ease, explained his advice process, how he worked and wrote a proposal for my consideration. This was excellent as I was not under any pressure to proceed and it put me at ease, I knew exactly why Andrew had made his recommendations and what the benefits and outcomes were for me. I can not recommend Andrew and his service enough.
What could they have done better?
Andrew you are a credit to your industry.

Andrew gives an honest view and offers advice on what is best for you and not the products he believe will make him money. This I believe is the essential quality of an IFA but one that is so often missed.

Our household had no financial planning in place and our knowledge of products was limited to say the least. Andrew responded to our enquiry quickly and during the meeting explained everything to us in simple and easy to understand terms. We'd have no problems recommending him in the future.
