Looking for advice on whether a care home annuity would be suitable product for my Grandma’s care needs.
How has Scott Gallacher helped you?
Not only has helped with the advice on Care home fees but also pointed out that my Grandma was entitled to Additional benefits such as attendance allowance and this has benefited my Grandmas income significantly by around £5k a year.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes. We are secure that care home fees will always be met. We feel happy that we have done the absolute best for my Grandma. It’s a big responsibility to take financial decisions for someone else, I couldn’t have done it without their expert guidance. Grandma has increased her income significantly by claiming attendance allowance as they recommended. It’s a massive worry lifted off my shoulders. Knowing that she will always have her care home fees paid. Can’t say thank you enough to them. Just absolutely the best.

Nothing.

Dear H, Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience. It means a great deal to know that we were able to support you and your family during such an important time.

Without sounding dismissive, we needed a 'High rated' brand to look after our investments and future advice. We tried others who were cheaper, but not confident in what we found. Scott and company provided what we needed.
How has Scott Gallacher helped you?
He makes us feel calm during difficult UK and World financial fluctuations which has been welcoming. His pensions advice is very clear and easy to understand.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
On a personal level I could not have asked for a better outcome! He walked me through a minefield of information and delivered a world class result. We're starting on my wife's pension journey now and very confident he will deliver there as well.
What could they have done better?
Not much, maybe more information on 'short term' investments like ISA's for the residual savings in our accounts?
Scott:
Dear T, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. It's been a pleasure working with you, and I'm delighted to hear that you've felt confident and reassured throughout the process, especially during these challenging financial times. Regarding your point about short-term investments, such as ISAs, I completely understand how important it is to have clear options for your residual savings. I’ll make sure to provide you with more detailed information and guidance on ISAs and other short-term investment opportunities in our next review meeting to ensure your savings are working as efficiently as possible. It’s great to hear that the pension advice has been clear and easy to understand, and I’m so pleased that we achieved the outcome you were hoping for. I’m looking forward to working with you and your wife on her pension journey as well and ensuring we deliver the same high-quality result. Thank you again for your trust and confidence.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Final salary opt out that had gone seriously wrong with my previous advisor. Funds awaiting investment for over 6 months as a result. Due to unique personal circumstances, I needed a broad, long term view on my options as well as the initial reinvestment in a SIPP.
How has Scott Gallacher helped you?
Fantastic initial advice (on external recommendation) that provided reassurance on the back of the poor experience I had with an offshore advisor and company. Subsequent challenges in transferring were patiently and professionally dealt with by Scott and his team at every step. Scott is always available to provide succinct, balanced and calm insights throughout the relationship.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Transfer completed and monies invested - yes. Growth and benefits still to be tracked and reviewed.

Genuinely nothing. I'm incredibly grateful to Scott and his team for their professional, accessible and authentic approach to client management. Looking forward to a long and hopefully financially beneficial relationship!

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
The minefield of pension references and the mixture of pensions we had over the years. Scott provides us with a clear understanding of these and simplifies the outcomes whenever possible.
How has Scott Gallacher helped you?
Scott breaks everything down into elements of life which are pertinent later in your years. There is no 'looking back' and everything is focused on the future and the 'best' place to be considering all options. His advice brings a sense of 'calm' to my life, however, I'm still aware of the risks where investments are involved.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
My pension is in a great place. We are currently looking at my wife and early retirement. Scott is providing us with some thought provoking options to take on board for an important decision to be be made. Considering the outcome I've had, I can't see an issue looking forward.
What could they have done better?
I'm not sure if things could be better considering the global issues we currently face. I do see a number of other financial offerings which are tempting at about 8% or more but can't see that being sustained for a long term, but they are tempting and I would like to hear more from my advisor regarding the pros/cons of such offers. Particularly if the rates are tied/locked in for a fixed period and no penalties apply.

Dear T, Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm delighted to hear that your pension is in a great place and that my guidance has brought a sense of calm to your financial planning.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Some inherited investments had grown considerably (others didn’t) and I was uncomfortably aware I was over-exposed to a few single companies. I was also maybe 10 years off retirement and wanted to get financial matters sensibly organised to approach retirement with greater confidence.
How has Scott Gallacher helped you?
See answer immediately above.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes. Scott’s advice has been at all times considered and backed with reasoning. He has considerably reduced the volatility of my investments and has given me measured advice on retirement planning such that I am now 2-3 years away from retirement and am looking forward with confidence.
What could they have done better?
Perhaps pulled money out of a particular tanking fund earlier than the annual review.

How has Scott Gallacher helped you since your last review?
Scott took considerable time and effort to find an additional investment package/s for my wife and me. We had just had a long term fixed rate account mature and the miserly alternatives available were not acceptable to us. We correctly foresaw the return of inflation and sought his advice on medium term investment vehicles which were intended to protect the sums and, hopefully, grow in value. Scott, as always, was very thorough in explaining the 'pros and cons' and allowed us the time to fully reflect before proceeding. To date, the returns have exceeded our expectations and we are grateful to him for his professionalism and probity

Since my last review Scott showed me how much my investment had grown. Scott arranged for my various pensions ( except the one with a guaranteed annuity) to be moved into a income drawdown plan. I was really pleased with the results. I also received some excellent advice from Scott with regard to my stocks and shares ISA. I don’t know if he is aware of the feeling of trust that he engenders, but I believe that I definitely made the right decision when I chose Rowley Turton.

Scott's advice made me look at my financial planning with a fresh approach. He made me realise that I had more than enough to live comfortably and enjoy my life. In addition, with his help, I have invested a realistic sum for long term savings to support potential care as I get older. Scott is professional, friendly and helpful. He is happy to answer any questions and explain things in an easily understandable way.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
A varied collection of pensions and investments that required better structure for ROI and a plan for the future as retirement loomed meant that we researched for an advisor.
How has Scott Gallacher helped you?
After meeting Scott and discussing our situation, Scott put forward a plan that not only worked for our situation but was a mix of drawdown and investment. Of particular note was the discussion on when do you stop saving investing and start living and benefiting from all that you have built.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
The ability to step back from working full time to a more leisurely pace, whilst investements continue to grow is exactly what we were looking for.
What could they have done better?
This question can only be answered with hindsight and as such is then somewhat unfair on the advisor. The advice has been good and the plan is working, so to say that they could have done better is not warranted in this case.

Scott was very adept in constructing a financial plan for our retirement which we found easy to understand. He also guided us through the various investment options that were open to us in order to meet our aims.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Financial planning is difficult enough but pensions planning is in another level of complexity altogether. I original met Scott and Alan from Rowley Turton through an introduction from my then Managing Director who had known them for number of years. He strongly advised me to take advice on my pension planning and it was sound advice. My career had its ups and downs but Scott always was able to explain my options and how to take the longer view.
How has Scott Gallacher helped you?
Our experience with Rowley Turton is based on mutual trust. The advice we have received has always been considered and concise and jargon-free. Rowley Turton has an uncanny knack of cutting through the complexity of financial investment and making the unexplainable - understandable. Our investments have born the fruit of this approach.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
The short answer is yes. Having taken Scott's advice I am enjoying a comfortable retirement. Unfortunately, even he is unable to find a way of escaping the "imprisonment without trial" we are enduring but we can do so without worrying about finance.
What could they have done better?
In truth, I am at a loss to answer this question. After 20 years plus of great service and advice from Rowley Turton I cannot see any flaws or shortfalls. What has also been re-assuring (over these years) is the growth and success of RT which would suggest that they must be doing something right...

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
We had looked at a couple of other options, including 'Pensionwise', which proved frustrating. Another adviser had looked at our information and was preparing paperwork for others to look after, which we found odd. When we spoke with Scott, he came across as a very knowledgable and very open, immediately instilling our confidence. His approach was very sensible and he gave us the 'comfort' level we were looking for.
How has Scott Gallacher helped you?
When we first looked at Rowley Turton our first thought was to how much the service would cost. We were pleasantly surprised to find they charged very competitive rates backed up with a very personal service. The speed and transparency of their investment process is to be praised and recommended.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Obviously, the Covid-19 Pandemic has had a negative effect on our immediate investments but we always knew we were in this for the long term and hope to see a quick recovery in the coming months and years. The initial consultations with Scott dealt with a series of difficult to understand pension queries which he cleared up very efficiently. The initial pension advice was clear and simple to understand, leading to us making decisions we were happy with.
What could they have done better?
On reflection, I don't believe there was anything else Scott could have done for us. The information we provided was very comprehensive and difficult for us to fully understand. To make a full review of our financial situation, Scott required more data, which we eventually provided. The additional data allowed Scott to be very definite in advising us of our current overall financial position, which was very enlightening!

After meeting with Scott Gallacher at Rowley Turton, I realised that I should have done this many years before. I left that meeting feeling like I had made the right decision to ask for their help. Although it’s early days in our relationship, I do believe that I am in safe and professional hands.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
I have to say that it’s early days in our relationship and only time will tell. I would like to say that I feel reassured somehow and that means a great deal to me.
What could they have done better?
I am not qualified to make suggestions, I have rolled the Dice and hopefully Scott will make me a Winner.

I required advice about how to go ahead with an on going sibling problem whereby the siblings inherited a £1m pound house split 50/50 in their mother's will but one sibling thought he had complete ownership and the house did not bring in the rental income that was expected.
How has Scott Gallacher helped you?
For a number of reasons Scott suggested that it would be prudent totry to sell the property and look to invest the proceeds via a specialist IHT plan. Should there be difficulty in agreeing an amicable sale then we could obtain an "order for sale" under Section 14 of the Trusts of Land and Appointments of Trustees Act 1996 (TOLATA).

Scott is the best and most proactive financial advisor I have ever known[and I have known quite a few over the years]. He is dedicated to the cause and that cause is customer satisfaction. Highly professional with expert knowledge. Clear and regular reviews and recommendations. Everything you would want from a financial advisor. His reputation precedes him . Formidable character which is what I like. Gets on with the job quickly and efficiently and whilst nothing is guaranteed in this world, you are guaranteed that Scott will achieve the best for you and your money allowing for the the politics and market place which are beyond everyone's control.

He discussed what risk level we wished to apply investments to and whether we required an income from same. We needed to increase our monthly pension income so that is what we did.

We chose the right risk investment for us and it has proved to provide us with added pension whilst the portfolio investment continues to grow, even in these difficult economic times.

At the time I was seeking to ensure that my wife and I were making the most sensible use of our financial reserves and pension funds.
How has Scott Gallacher helped you?
Although this review is mainly about Scott Gallacher, the other members of the Rowley Turton team (in my direct experience) are skilled & competent. Over the past ten plus years, Scott Gallacher has guided my wife and I through post retirement planning resulting in an excellent final annuity based pension and well received tax free sum. His fee for this work was worth every penny. He also was instrumental in introducing us to a sound approach to will planning. Since our retirement, he has assisted with well performing ISA investments. The great skill of Scott and his colleagues is in explaining the (apparently) unexplainable world of investment and pension planning - it is a rare gift. What is especially appreciated is that no question is dismissed as stupid or irrelevant. Calls or either answered directly or re-contact made without delay.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Certainly. The most recent investment has fully delivered and continues to look excellent.
What could they have done better?
Rowley Turton has met the needs of my wife and I and, whilst nothing in this world is totally perfect, it is difficult to identify any measurable weakness.

How has Scott Gallacher helped you?
Scott is very good at listening to what you actually want as well as don't want. We had very clear ideas of how we wanted to fund our retirement and Scott looked into our finances and found that we could achieve our expectations, so there was no pressure to do things differently. He quickly got to work to find the best provider for us. We know from our meetings with Scott that even if you don't have a clue of what you need to do, he would find the best options for you.
What could they have done better?
Can't think of anything.

How has Scott Gallacher helped you?
We believe first impressions are very important. On first meeting Scott he was well attired. He had a firm handshake and as he shook our hand, looked us in the eye. Scott put us at ease very quickly and kept the conversation in a language we understood, using sketches and diagrams to clarify and confirm that we had understood. At no time did we feel rushed or under pressure. Scott was very professional, open and honest with his recommendations, taking our needs and concerns, making them a priority to consider and discuss during our meeting. We felt sound financial advise was given, with all pros and cons discussed and fully explained. The financial risks and levels of risks clearly defined and matched the levels we were prepared to invest at.
What could they have done better?
In trying to explain the levels of risks from investments, Scott was occasionally too focused, during the meeting, on the risk element which a cautious investor could find off putting, even though Scott was explaining this area to help and prepare for the long term need of investments.

We have used the services of Scott for many years. We have always found him to be thoughful and knowledgeable [ he has won several prestigious awards] and he puts the best interests of his clients first every time. He is a man of complete integrity and certainly certainly not one to employ high pressure sales techniques. We have no hesitation in recommending Scott to anyone in need of an excellent financial adviser.

Although this review is mainly about Scott Gallacher, the other members of the Rowley Turton team (in my direct experience) are skilled & competent. Over the past ten plus years, Scott Gallacher has guided my wife and I through post retirement planning resulting in an excellent final annuity based pension and well received tax free sum. His fee for this work was worth every penny. He also was instrumental in introducing us to a sound approach to will planning. Since our retirement, he has assisted with well performing ISA investments. The great skill of Scott and his colleagues is in explaining the (apparently) unexplainable world of investment and pension planning - it is a rare gift. What is especially appreciated is that no question is dismissed as stupid or irrelevant. Calls or either answered directly or re-contact made without delay.
What could they have done better?
Rowley Turton has met the needs of my wife and I and, whilst nothing in this world is totally perfect, it is difficult to identify any measurable weakness.

How has Scott Gallacher helped you?
I was very impressed by Scotts professionalism. Before our first meeting, a survey/questionnaire was sent so that my attitude to risk etc could be understood. This was evaluated again during our first meeting. The investments/pensions that I already had were reviewed, and the subsequent report clearly stated his conclusions/recommendations. The fees and service provided were also clearly explained in both the meeting and report. All peperwork was sent in a timely manner and any questions were quickly answered. Whenever I've need adhoc advise, Scott had always been very quick to respond with his recommendations. In summary, I'm very happy with the service Scott has provided so far.

Always extremely accommodating regarding the timing of review meetings. Friendly manner. Prepares detailed reports and analysis.
What could they have done better?
Possibly be more pro-active regarding when to invest (eg is it better to invest in stocks & shares ISA in 1 lump sum or monthly. If the former advice/opinions as to when is best time (eg prompt that market is looking like it's rising)

I particularly like his customer 'care' in that he provides advice not only when requested but also as a matter of course on a regular basis. Whilst I am not a financial expert, otherwise I would not use his services, I fully believe his advice has always been honest, sound and it gives me the financial confidence I need in the current climate.
