Sample Reviews:

“I took pension advice from Paul in March 2020 and decided to consolidate my pensions into one ‘pot’ with St. James. He made the process easy with very clear and ‘non-pushy’ advice. I have since had annual reviews with Paul, where he has again gone through the performance of the fund clearly & answered any questions or concerns professionally.” – Kevin

“Paul was the third adviser I went to a couple of years ago, seeking to improve my pension pot. In both other cases, the advisers sought to transfer all my pension funds. Paul was the only one to advise against the transfer of a defined benefit scheme. His advice has demonstrated that he has my best interests uppermost.” – Dej

“I dealt with Kings as I bought a property from them. Daniel Buck was dealing with my case. I have no words to put across how valued I felt as a client by them. They were very professional and very helpful. I had lots of questions, and they always helped me. Daniel is an absolute gentleman and very efficient at his job.” – Namrata

Being first-time buyers, we didn’t know much about what to do, but Kings was always very helpful and answered any questions we had.
