Please provide a brief comment about your experience with Neal

Took longer than expected to get to speak to him. I wanted advice about inheritance tax but he said I needed to have a will drawn up by a solicitor first before he could advise me. He referred me to a solicitor contact he knew. So I guess I didnt receive the service I was expecting. Nevertheless he was professional and knowledgeable.

Neal:

Veronica - it was nice to speak with you and I am pleased that you found our chat useful. Thanks for your patience - we are taking longer than usual to reply to new enquiries due to the challenges of COVID and the demands of our existing client bank. I hope that the Will writing introduction that I made was useful.

We had a general chat but at present he didn’t feel he could help me but he was very informative.

Advice

Service

Value

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

I had initially seen to previous Financial Advisors who had been unable to assist me with unlocking a particular pension that included a considerable tax-free percentage.

How has Neal Hall helped you?

Neal was able to ably navigate through the red tape and turgid hoops required by AEGON, enabling a swift conclusion and enabling me to secure an uncommon tax-free percentage. He kept me thoroughly informed throughout the process.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Indeed, with Neal's assistance I successfully managed to release my funds with the best possible outcome from a taxation point of view, something I was beginning to feel might not be possible.

What could they have done better?

Nothing. I can heartily recommend Neal. I found him highly professional, polite but friendly and very knowledgeable about aspects of pension law that can be not only unclear but very frustrating to the client.

Neal went through my financial affairs very carefully. He advised me that everything I was currently doing was correct. He gave some useful advice on a couple of matters. He put me in touch with a business associate who might be able to do some specialized work for me. He pointed out some more complex ideas for me to consider, but I need not want to proceed with these. All this for an initial consultation which was FOC. Brilliant! Alan
