7 Questions to Ask Before You Hire a Financial Adviser

Not all financial advisers work in the same way. This practical guide explains what to ask before your first meeting, including the difference between independent and restricted advice, so you can make a more informed decision with confidence.

Financial Planning for You

You receive transparent, impartial advice on investments, protection, retirement planning and mortgage solutions, all tailored to your circumstances, priorities and future plans.

Built Around Your Life

Your financial plan should not be generic. It should reflect your life, your goals and the changes that happen along the way.

At Heathcote Chartered Financial Planning, we work closely with you to build a personalised plan that is reviewed regularly and adjusted as your circumstances evolve.

That includes advice across:

  • pensions

  • investments

  • mortgages

  • trusts

  • wider financial planning

Your plan can also take into account:

  • your attitude to risk

  • your long-term goals

  • your changing income needs

  • your family circumstances

  • your values, including ESG preferences

So rather than trying to fit into a one-size-fits-all solution, you receive advice shaped around what matters most to you.
