Testimonials

What our clients are saying about us. Read more reviews on Google.

"After 40 successful years in business the Covid shutdown was sending us under the hooves of a very large horse. I knew after my first conversation with Ashley that I had gone to the right man. Never in business history has a financial matter been so smooth and painless."

Mortgage case study

Securing a mortgage for a self-employed Crawley buyer

Sam came to us self-employed and looking to buy his first home — a situation that can be a minefield, since every lender treats self-employed income differently. We worked with Sam and his family to find a lender who would recognise his income properly, then guided him through the whole process so the move to his first home went smoothly from start to finish.

Client Sam, self-employed, Crawley
Challenge Self-employed income made standard lender criteria hard to meet
Result First home secured with a lender suited to his circumstances
★★★★★

We had attempted two different mortgage advisors before finding Ashley and delighted that we found him. He was informative throughout the process and handled our stress levels incredibly well, always reassuring us throughout. We would highly recommend Ashley and never go anywhere else in the future if we require the same services again.

Pension and Retirement Planning Crawley

Crawley's strong employment base often means clients have several pension schemes accumulated across employers. Our pension advisers in Crawley trace, review, and consolidate these into efficient, cost-effective plans.

We provide:
  • Pension consolidation and transfer reviews
  • Retirement income planning (including drawdown options)
  • Guidance on workplace pensions and contributions

We'll show you how to make your pensions work harder — and ensure they're aligned with your long-term goals.

Pension case study

Building pension confidence from a standing start

A client from Crawley came to us with no real understanding of pensions — how they work, what the tax reliefs are, or how to set one up. We talked him through the sector in plain terms and put together an investment plan for his pensions going forward, giving him confidence and the assurance that he could retire when he chooses.

Client Crawley resident, new to pensions
Challenge No prior understanding of pensions, tax relief, or retirement planning
Result A clear investment plan and confidence in his retirement outlook
★★★★★

Tony has been super helpful with my pensions. I had very limited knowledge in this field and he has been super helpful and accommodating. Would highly recommend - thank you!

Insurance and Protection for Working Families

Financial planning isn't complete without protection. We provide life insurance, income protection, and critical illness cover designed for Crawley families and professionals. For local business owners, our advisers arrange key-person insurance, shareholder protection, and director pensions — ensuring stability if the unexpected happens.

We believe every good plan should survive life's curveballs — not just prosper when everything goes right.

Insurance case study

Protection built into a mortgage journey

As Sam was already a mortgage client of ours, we carried out his free insurance review as part of that process — the same review every mortgage client receives. We arranged the right cover, including buildings and contents insurance, so Sam and his family could have peace of mind should anything happen to them in future.

Client Sam, mortgage client, Crawley
Challenge No protection in place alongside a new mortgage
Result Full family cover arranged with no extra legwork for the client

Investment and Wealth Management

With many professionals in Crawley balancing salaries, bonuses, and side ventures, structured investment planning is key. Our investment advisers in Crawley help clients create portfolios that balance risk, return, and tax efficiency — including ISAs, bonds, and ethical investment options.

We also assist with:

Regulatory Statements

Equity Release

Equity Release plans are not right for everyone. And it is important that you fully consider your options and receive independent financial advice before making a decision. It is also important that, if you do decide to use an equity release product, you choose one that meets your needs.

Remember that taking an equity release plan is generally a long term option. However, there are flexible plans available that may fit your varying needs and some will allow you to repay in the future without penalties.

Investments

All investments involve a degree of risk of some kind. This section describes some of the risks which could be relevant to the services we provide you. We may provide further risk information during the course of our services to you, as appropriate.

Our services relate to certain investments whose prices are dependant on fluctuations in the financial markets outside our control. Investments and the income from them may go down as well as up and you may get back less than the amount you invested. Past performance is not a guide to future performance.
