My wife and I found Global IFA Ltd very down to earth and friendly, in their no-nonsence clarification of the procedure and costs involved for our Equity Release Mortgage. Their advice was concise and to the point. Impressive!

What were the circumstances that caused you to look for a financial adviser? I was looking for an investment that would at least keep up with inflation, at best outpace it. David Holland was very thorough in exploring my financial situation, my needs, my hopes and expectations and my attitude to risk. His final recommendation was, as far as I could tell, the result of a good deal of research and corresponded exactly to what I wanted.

It's too early to tell yet how my investment is performing: we're only a few months into a long-term (5 - 10 years) project. David answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly; his explanations were a model of clarity. The whole process from first approach to creating the portfolio of investments was completed in a very short time.

Just met with David Holland for guidance on my pension plans and retirement strategy. Was very impressed with David's ability to listen and absorb a lot of information quickly, ask very incisive questions and provide guidance during our discussions. Will be going back to David for further guidance soon. Thanks again for your help David, cheers Warwick
