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

I have had pension arrangements with employers going back for more than 20 years. Those arrangements required a review as to whether or not they were still valid and active. I also had house/domestic insurance that I felt was expensive for what it was.

How has Spencer Clifton helped you?

Spencer helped me review alot of historical pension documentation. He helped to determine the best action to take with those pension arrangements to suit my circumstances. He also reviewed my house/domestic insurance.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, a transfer of one of the historical pension arrangements to a bettef fund is taking place. A review of other pension arrangements will take place next year. I am also now placed with a cheaper and better house/domestic insurer.

What could they have done better?

I can't think of anything that could have been done any better.

How has Spencer Clifton helped you?

Spencer has and continues to provide us with lots of relevant information and has been extremely patient. He's been very flexible around our work commitments and doesn't adopt a sales approach, its all been very consultative and customer centric. Spencer has consolidated our pensions and negotiated some excellent rates on our behalf. We have also just mortgaged and the advice Spencer gave us meant we were better off each month and by several thousand pounds in redemption fees. Spencer has also been very helpful providing us with general advice for which he's received no reward.

So far we are tracking very well financially and have peace of mind that we're control of our finances and have someone on our side to ask advice.

My aunt passed away and Mr Clifton was her financial adviser. Just prior to her death she said that I should speak to Mr. Clifton and that he would guide my brother, myself and another niece through her finances.

How has Spencer Clifton helped you?

Mr. Clifton visited each of us and explained everything very clearly, guiding us through the investments which she had made for us. She had left some shares to me and again, he went through them for me. I subsequently asked him to go through some paperwork when some shares were taken over by another company and he sorted that query out.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, and If there is any problem he is at the end of a 'phone. I had some savings in a cash ISA which was going nowhere and Mr Spencer, after determining how carefully I wished to invest it, gave it a 'safe' home. On my recommendation he will shortly be seeing my son to advise him on his investments.

How has Spencer Clifton helped you?

Having received the invaluable financial advice of Spencer Clifton for many years, I believe that I'm well qualified to offer an opinion on his skills, knowledge, service and general professionalism. All are excellent. I have placed several substantial investments/pensions using Spencer's guidance and have no regrets whatsoever. From a purely personal standpoint, his advice on my pension contributions, and the companies I am with, has been a double winner. He is also approachable, available and possesses the knack of explaining often complex financial options to a layman such as myself. Basically, I can't recommend him, or his company, highly enough.

I find Spencer to be excellent at listening and therefore understanding my needs rather than assuming I need certain advice.

I received excellent advice from Spencer. I received a number of options on my insurances and pensions followed by a completely independent recommendation following a complete and thorough review. I would definitely recommend this company and would be happy to use again.

What could they have done better?

I was completely happy with the service.

He comes to our a home at a time suitable to us and explains everything thoroughly. He's doesn't push us into anything. He finds the products right for us and if he can't straight away will go away until he does.

We have used Spencer over the last Fifteen years or more. He has always been reliable and efficient. He has looked into things we would not have known in order to try and build our money up ready for retirment. We also do our mortgage through Spencer which once again always get us a saving when we renew.

How has Spencer Clifton helped you?

Spencer's been my IFA for many years now. We've got a really good working relationship. As he's got to know me and subsequently my expanding family I feel like we have a sort of partnership over my finances. I tell him what I've got to invest or what kind of product I need and he cuts through all the nonsense and gets me the best deal possible. He never tries to sell me anything I don't want or need. I couldn't recommend him enough...

What could they have done better?

He does love the paperwork! Every time he visits he leaves reams of paper behind! All interesting stuff but he could probably save the planet and email it to me!
