Happy with the service provided

I wanted to transfer my final salary pension fund into a SIPP, therefore giving me control and flexibility over my future pension income.

Brian made me aware of both the advantages and disadvantages that may be involved, Brian completed all of the necessary paperwork involved, and gave me future projections as to several possible outcomes that could arise re. my investment. Once I was happy to go ahead and make the transfer, he proceeded to facilitate the transfer that I had desired.

I was happy with the service provided and look forward to my annual review next year to discuss any issues that may arise between now and then.

Making good returns on our investments

I was made redundant in 2008 and sought Brian’s advice as I wanted to draw down my company pension in order to release some equity and purchase a buy to let property to add to a joint portfolio. Brian arranged the drawdown and reinvestment of my pension.

I was able to use the 25% tax-free lump sum from my pension drawdown as a deposit for a rental property. My partner and I now have several properties in our portfolio which are being successfully rented out and we are making good returns on our investment.

I am completely happy with the ongoing advice I receive from Brian who regularly reviews my investments and advises if changes are appropriate

I can’t think of anything that Brian could have done different, his advice has been fully detailed at all times.

His knowledge is vast and it was very easy to develop a good rapport with him from the first meeting; he tells you as it is and in an industry that can become very complicated that is a very good thing.

Brian went the extra mile to ensure everything was transferred accordingly and I was pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend Brian to others; I was pleased with the outcome.

-Gerald Toyne – 17th June 2018

 

First Class service
I was looking for advice on passing my assets to my children or taking out an equity release. I have heard many horror stories and watched TV programmes and I was confused, misguided and needed professional advice.
Brian recommended and set up a joint meeting with a very reliable solicitor to discuss my legal options, he was also present, fully explaining the options and percentages of equity release that were available to me. Brian also gave me printouts of the details stated. At times, I was confused, as the information was a lot for me to take in all at once. He was very perceptive of this and took the time to explain things again to me, in a way that I understood.
I was pleased with the information and documents that I received. I will be going ahead with my decision.
I really don’t think that that there was anything that Brian could improve on. First Class.

I approached Brian to invest money in an Investment Stocks and Shares ISA as I am earning so little interest at the bank.

Review of Insurances/Pension

-Roy Gregory – 10th May 2016

 

Restructured Pensions, Recycled Income, Allowed me to retire early
In 2010 I had a couple of personal pension plans which were due to mature on my birthday in November of that year. Also, I would be receiving my state pension in the July of 2011. I was therefore keen to seek sound financial advice to help me plan for my full retirement in December 2015. He reviewed my financial requirements and helped me consolidate not just my pensions but also other items in my range of savings such as cash and capital growth ISAs and instant access savings accounts. He proposed I take up the 25% tax-free lump sum, convert my pension fund to drawdown and, as I was still working full-time, that I start contributing to a new pension scheme so that I could benefit from the tax-free sum and an additional small pension when I decided to retire some time later. He also recommended a tailored investment portfolio for the proceeds of my other savings. I took up all these options. Yes, particularly now that I am fully retired. I am receiving a monthly pension from my drawdown fund which supplements my state pension. The additional personal pension fund will enable me to take a tax-free lump sum at any time and provide me with an extra amount to add to the drawdown until such time it is financially expedient and appropriate to convert the funds to a more beneficial pension product.
-Gayle Bandy – 5th May 2016

Trusted Financial Advisor for 25 years
Brian has been my financial advisor for around 25 years. He has helped me and my partner make important decisions about our pensions, savings and mortgage.

Yes my new SIPP is performing better than the old one and I receive regular information on its performance, I am also kept up to date with any fees Brian receives.
-Sharon Dixon – 3rd May 2016
Results have been brilliant!
I had a protected pension and an accountant friend recommended Brian to me. He advised me of my options and told me I should think of moving it. The results have been brilliant and as a result I get a yearly check up and have since invited him to look at our mortgage and insurances.
-Mark Vaughan – 3rd May 2016
Peace of Mind
Life insurance for myself and partner – two individual policies to provided cover for our children. Brian sourced a very good deal with a reputable insurance provider with a high amount of cover on a low monthly payment. Peace of mind to know that there is more than sufficient cover should a negative incident occur.

Explains everything, not pushy, highly recommended

Totally confused by the information Googled I was concerned that my money wasn’t working for me and initially I was being stung by a company who had taken over my mortgage. I heard of Brian and contacted him a number of years ago. He explained everything clearly and advised, though wasn’t pushy- PERFECT!. Initially with my mortgage arrangements and savings then later with my pension and investments. Absolutely! Brian has helped me through the maelstrom of financial confusion, so my annuity and investments are aiding a comfortable retirement. I would unhesitatingly recommend him to others looking for a way through the financial confusion to making the most of your assets and money.

Brian contacts me at important junctures and gave sensible advice and guidelines to assist me in making informed decisions. I couldn’t have wished for better advice and assistance.

Do not go anywhere else, doubled my money in 24 months!!!!

Brian came to see me a couple of years ago to give me a Financial Review,  part of this review was to assess my Pension needs.

I basically had on old pension fund that was trickling along with no recent contributions and, to me, was worth virtually nothing.

Brian got hold of this little pension fund and virtually doubled it in 24 months !!!! The projections on this fund are now incredible.

 

This was a “throw away” fund and he has transformed it into a worth while investment.

I cannot praise this guy enough for what he has done. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE IF YOU WANT SOUND PENSION ADVICE!!!!!

Thanks Brian

-Ian Walters – 12th November 2015

 

Very Professional, Explained in Layman’s Term’s

About 5 years ago, I was in need of some financial and pensions advice, Brian Flindall of Credencis was recommended to me by a work colleague.  Brian arranged my private pension to be transferred from a poor performing scheme into a scheme that is performing much better.

 

He recommended my frozen company pensions should be left to run to my retirement, as they were based on final salary and could not be bettered in the current market. He has also organised and monitored the performance of my ISA and has made several changes that have over time proven to be of benefit.
Brian is keen, enthusiastic and has a passion for the work he does, he has his clients best interests at heart and takes the time to explain the financial rules and regulations in layman’s terms that can be understood.  Brian is very professional and spends a lot of time researching the markets and market trends before making any recommendations. Brian takes the time to understand each clients attitude to risk and tailors his research and recommendations accordingly.  At our review meetings it is clear that a lot of preparation has gone in beforehand, this keeps the meetings efficient and focussed on the important issues thus saving the clients time.  However Brian is very generous with his time when the client requires him to be and does a lot of work behind the scenes that the client may not always be aware of.  I would not hesitate to recommend Brian to anyone seeking financial advice and indeed I have done so on more than one occasion since my association with Brian and Credencis began.

-Trevor Steel – 9th September 2015

Informed, Helpful Advice, and Guidance

I am writing this letter with regards to Credencis, who have for the last few months sorted out the complex issues of my personal pension. Brian Flindall has worked tirelessly on my behalf, battling with a large unresponsive insurance company and recommending the most beneficial way to invest my pension. His straight forward, no nonsense approach has made the whole experience easier and clearer and I have found his knowledge of the subject invaluable. I can recommend Credencis to anyone who is struggling with their pension issues and needs informed, helpful advice and guidance.

-Steve Hallam – 31st July 2015

The smartest thing I did..
In May 2012 when I received my annuity report from my oroginal provider I was a little disappointed with their projection of what I could expect to receive from their plan each month.

The smartest thing I did in regard to this was contact Brian Flindall of Credencis.

Brian transferred my annuity and succeeded in getting me the best deal possible with a most reputable company that were prepared to increase my annuity by more than twenty ponds per month for life; not only that but complete peace of mind knowing that this annuity would carry on making payments to my partner on my death.

All I had to do was supply Brian with the relevant paperwork, which he diligently formed into a new plan that was beyond my expectation.

Brian has a personality that is courteous, complete trustworthy and conscientious and inspires confidence in his business dealings.

I would recommend Brian to anyone that is in need of a financial advisor or pensions consultant.

Thank you Brian.

-Bernard Kibble – 10th August 2012

He explained to me how best to invest my money in easy terms so that I could understand.

Lifted a Great Weight off my Shoulders
I was having problems trying to make sense of the correspondance I had received from my pension companies. I was recommended to Brian Flindall from Credencis who has a wealth of pension experience.

Brian came to see me for a chat and explained some of the things I wasn’t sure about and took the correspondance away to see if he find a better pension from the open market.

Three weeks later he returned with paperwork for me to sign for my new plan and with a bit of luck my payments should commence soon. He has lifted a great weight off my shoulders.

Both my husband and I will be keeping in touch with Brian so  that he can help with our other finances.

I would like to thank Brian for averting what was becoming a stressful time.

-Diane Palmer – 11th April 2011

I would happily recommend Brian to anyone
Brian was recommended to me by Christine Johnstone of Ceejay Training and Accountancy in order that I make the most of my money. Brian and I looked at my mortgage and we discussed my options. We decided that taking the current climate into consideration it would be best for me to leave my mortgage with my existing lender. a review date has been placed in our respective diaries to review my mortgage again in a couple of years.

We are currently reviewing all my other insurances. With Brian’s knowledge I feel confident that he will give me his best advice to help my money stay in my account.

Brian is very friendly and I divulged personal information to him feeling confident that my personal finances will not be discussed outside of his professional remit.

I will happily recommend him to anyone whom I feel would benefit from his knowledge and understanding.

Pension Transfer Advice‎‎  
I asked Brian to assess my current pensions which I already had set up with three different companies but I was finding it difficult to keep track of them all and was not sure if they were all working for me. Brian has assessed my different pension funds and advised me to put them all into one place. He put me into touch with a discretionary fund manager who will check and rebalance my funds daily to make sure that they work for me and make the most of my investment. Brian is excellent at explaining things in plain english that’s easy to understand. He explained the pitfalls of my existing pensions and the advantages of the new pension, and also his ongoing commitment going forward and what he was going to do for me personally. I would definitely recommend Brian to anyone looking to make the most from their finances and pensions. Best Regards Jonathan Martin – JPM Design‎

Pensions, annuities and drawdown in plain…‎‎
Brian is an experienced and very knowledgeable Independent Financial Adviser, who really does keep up to date with the latest changes in the very complex world of pensions, drawdowns, and annuities (to name just a few). Brian is good at explaining things in plain English. Brian can even explain something as complicated as a care plan payment option in plain English. Whenever I have questions, Brian always knows the answers!‎

Pension Funds Well Preserved
I contacted Credencis through their website for pension advice and found the director, Brian Flindall, to be very knowledgeable in the world of pensions. He advised me to transfer a few preserved pensions into a Self Invested Personal Pension, and I can now monitor my funds online. I found his approach to financial advice very refreshing, and I would not hesitate to refer him to friends and family. Thanks for the good work.‎

Self Invested Personal Pension Review
I was introduced to Brian through a friend,as I was dismayed with the service of my previous independent financial adviser. Brian explained in plain english how my Self Invested Personal Pension worked. He implemented a programme where I have my pension is managed by a multi manager, and a small percentage looked after by a stock broker. My pension has made an fantastic return in the last two years, amazing considering economic trends. I have total piece of mind that my money is being invested correctly by Brian and Credencis. I have asked Brian to review my pension every 6 months. Hopefully in the next few years the fund will have grown to the point that I will be able to buy my first commercial property. I have already introduced Brian to a friend in Newcastle. He is prepared to travel anywhere in the UK as he believes in face to face advice whereas previous firms wanted to deal with me by phone and post!. I believe this is integral to sound quality financial advice. Thanks again Brian for your professionalism.

Great Service & Advice
Brian’s response to first enquiry onwards through advice to a solution has been impeccable. The solution was explained to me very clearly and in such a way to make me feel confident that my pension needs were in the right hands because clearly from Brian’s initial research my funds were not in the right place !! I would have no hesitation in recommending Brian to anyone in need of a solid reliable pension solution.‎

Pension advice and review‎‎
I asked Brian to assess my current pension which was with a different financial advisor. They were supposed to manage my pension funds but found that last year I lost £4000, Brian has assessed my pension and put me intouch with a discretionary fund manager who will check and rebalance my funds daily which could have doubled if I had already been with them. I would definately recommend Brian to anyone looking to make the most from their finances and pensions.‎

A Guru in the arena of pensions‎‎
If you ever meet Brian you’d be hard pressed to assume that he was in the IFA and pension business from his appearance alone. After spending just a few minutes with him it becomes definitively apparent that this fellow knows his financial onions. Under the progressively fluctuating economic scenario, it’s essential to know where your money is and the calibre of the persons investing it. All too many people have experienced mediocre and sometimes negative returns brought about by inept directives from corporate decision makers. It’s good to know that someone in this industry is capable of offering sound and well informed advice to ensure you end up with a pension that’s going to be there when you need it‎.

Pensions‎‎
Brian’s been in the business for years and really knows his stuff, plus he keeps up to date with the latest developments. It’s a big decision, and pretty scary, to move pension investments but I think Brian’s sound. I’ve also met several of his clients and they all sing his praises too…‎

Professional Advice
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your professional advice following the research put into my pension arrangements. The piece of mind I now have, that all the funds available will be working hard to provide me with the best pension income and with the least amount taken in fees is extremely comforting. I can definitely recommend your diligence in sorting through what was an untidy situation and coming up with a list of realistic options from which I could choose one with which I am comfortable. It will give me great pleasure pleasure to provide your contact details to all my contacts in the certain knowledge that your service, willingness to go the extra mile and attention to detail will not let me down.

Plain English
I had a visit from Brian Flindall today and found that he was very thorough; he covered everything from my mortgage to my pension. He explained everything in plain english and he doesn’t make you feel an idiot if you dont understand something. All in all he was very professional.

Really Enlightening
We would just like to thank you for the financial review you gave us recently. It was really enlightening and done with easily understandable terms. The speed in which it was put into action to make the most of our pensions was impressive. Also thank you for sorting out the mortgage offer and taking away the strain at this very stressful time. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to future clients.

Professionalism, Sensitivity, and Excellent Support
Thank you for the visit last night to re-appraise our investments and to give us some advice regarding the use of some finance which has reappeared from loans to the family! Judy and I are immensely please with the progress being made through the Fidelity portfolio you advised us on two years ago – each aspect of it doing well. We appreciated the documents you came with regarding their performance relative to the other possibilities we had considered at the outset – the evidence that we are on the right track was clear to see.

Thanks again for your professionalism, sensitivity, and excellent support – must ne about 8 yaers now! Feel free to use the above as you wish in your work with prospective clients.
