Inheritance Tax Planning
Report
Inheritance tax can significantly reduce the value of the estate youve carefully built. We offer strategic solutions to mitigate its effect through tailored financial planning, Wills, and the use of Trusts. Our expertise allows us to construct tax-efficient arrangements suited to your specific circumstances. This approach ensures more of your legacy is passed on as intended.
Wills, Trusts & Tax
Report
Planning Wills and managing assets for future family protection can appear daunting, which often leads to delays. Our specialists provide clear, professional guidance tailored to your individual needs. We assist you in navigating the complexities involved, including tax considerations. With our support, you can make confident and informed decisions for your familys future.
Equity release
Report
Equity release may offer a means of accessing funds tied up in your property, whether for home adaptations or to support your income in retirement. We understand that such decisions carry long-term financial implications and are not suitable for everyone. Our expert financial planners will assess your circumstances thoroughly. We are committed to helping you identify the most appropriate strategy for your needs.

Since being a client of PFM, I have been really impressed with the level of personal service and advice I have also received. Pensions and tax are a minefield of complexity to the uninformed and PFM have brought great clarity and I have learned much from Christian's advice, all provided with a very friendly and clear approach.

Rhiannon is the best mortgage broker that I have had the pleasure to deal with in 20+ years. Her personality is warm, patient and reassuring. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Rhiannon's service has been informative & efficient. She found excellent products that suited our needs and pocket. I highly recommend Rhiannon and look forward to working with her again in the future.

John has a very strong ability to explain complex financial matters in a simple and concise way, without watering down the key points of detail. This is important when I am making decisions about my financial future.
