I found myself at ease and I understood everything.
Easily Recommended Financial Adviser. After having my free meeting with their very knowledgeable adviser I found myself at ease and I understood everything, for once. He explained all my affairs in a way I could understand and never rushed me. Surprisingly, they covered all my financial affairs and even helped in areas I never thought an IFA would since I know they wouldn’t get paid for doing this work. My first meeting was followed up with another free meeting to make sure I was happy and that I understood everything. Friendly, trustworthy and amazing is how I would state Lowndes Halsden and I would recommend them to anyone. Well, I have already and my friend was very impressed also. What have you got to lose!

Excellent, very professional.
Excellent, very professional and have always sorted everything out for us.
Saved me nearly a hundred pounds a year.
Popped into Lowndes Halsden Cardiff office in Birchgrove (after reading several good reviews online) and one of the nice ladies booked me in for an appointment. I haven’t got much money and I just wanted to make sure what I had was safe and in the best places. In addition, they actually gave me very good advice on most of my monthly outgoing costs like utilities etc and they have and I had to do very little to get this saving. Thanks
Impressed by their sound judgement and by the quality of the advice.
In the 10 years or more that Lowndes Halsden has been my Financial Advisers; I have been impressed and delighted by their sound judgement and by the quality of the advice. It’s no coincidence that both my mother and my wife are also clients of Lowndes Halsden, as they feel the same as I do. Without Lowndes Halsden on our side none of us would have profited as much as we have done while investment conditions have been favourable, and I know that all of our portfolios would have been far more vulnerable in these less than favourable times. In addition to this, they are trustworthy, reliable and are true professionals and I would have no hesitation in recommending Lowndes Halsden to friends or family – as mentioned above. As the previous review states – you have nothing to lose but a small amount of your time since the first meeting is free and I assure you – you will learn something new.
Very Happy

Why Use An Independent Financial Adviser
Choosing an adviser might seem daunting but if you need help with a financial decision it’s worth persevering. A good adviser can save you money and a lot of worry.
An IFA will spot the areas in your personal finances where improvements could be made in order to help you reach where you want to be financially in the future.
They do this by looking at your financial circumstances and building up a picture of what you want your finances to look like in the future.
In the process they will take into account your pension plans, savings, investments, insurance cover, loans, and mortgage, as well looking at how you can make your finances more tax-efficient.
This is achieved by helping you find the right financial products from the whole market, not just one or a few providers. When they do find a product they will make sure it is in your best interests.
IFA’s are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
How To Choose The Right Independent Financial Adviser
The key to finding the right financial adviser is working out what type of advice you need.
For example, are you looking for help with investing into your pension or a stocks and shares ISA? Are you coming up to retirement? Are you looking for a mortgage or perhaps life insurance? Do you need a full review covering all areas of your finances?
There are lots of reasons why people need advice from an Independent Financial Adviser but there are also lots of different types of speciality, so it pays to know who to go to and when.
