Financial advice near you

At Wesleyan Financial Services, we’re helping the people of Bristol create brighter financial futures. Through our network of Specialist Financial Advisers, you can get one-off or ongoing advice designed to help you reach your financial goals.

How we can help

Our financial advisers across Bristol and South West England can offer advice on all aspects of your finances. From buying your first home to planning for retirement, you can get specialist support at every life stage.

Once you’ve found your local financial adviser, you can meet them via video call or face-to-face. Through a no-obligation meeting, they can help you:

  • Create a bespoke plan to reach your financial goals
  • Build your pension pot and plan for your retirement
  • Protect your income if you need to take unexpected leave
  • Start investing your cash or business earnings
  • Find the right mortgage for your new or current home
  • Insure your home, car, travel plans and more
Retirement

If you’re dreaming of the day you retire, it pays to start planning early. See how you can prepare for your later years with advice on building your retirement income, managing your pensions and more.

We can help you:

  • Starting a pension and building your pot
  • Ways to take your pension (including annuities and flexi-access drawdown)
  • Retirement planning
  • Inheritance tax & estate planning

Please bear in mind that advice in relation to inheritance tax planning is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Investments

Are you looking to do more with your money? Wesleyan Group’s range of ISAs and investment plans can help your savings work harder. Speak to your local Specialist Financial Adviser to discover:

  • ISAs
  • Investment plans
  • Unit Trusts
  • Commercial investments

Bear in mind that the value of investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest.

Mortgages

Looking for a new mortgage deal? We’re here to help you through the process. Whether you’re moving house or remortgaging your current home, we can find you the right deal and handle the application on your behalf.

We cover:

  • First-time buyers
  • Moving home
  • Remortgaging
  • Buy-to-let mortgages

Your mortgage is secured on your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments. Please note that most buy-to-let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

Insurance

Whatever life throws your way, protection products offer peace of mind that you can make your financial commitments without worry. When you’re in the market for a new policy, we can find you cover for:

  • Income protection
  • Mortgage protection
  • Life assurance
  • Personal insurance (including home, car, travel)
  • Commercial insurance (including GP surgery, dental practice, office)

Frequently asked questions

  • What can I expect from a meeting with a Specialist Financial Adviser?

    When you request a detailed conversation about your finances, a Specialist Financial Adviser from Wesleyan Financial Services will usually meet you via video call. Alternatively, they can speak with you in person in the comfort of your own home.

    During the meeting, your Specialist Financial Adviser will look at your financial situation as a whole, and discuss your specific goals, priorities or concerns.

  • Is the advice free?

    The meeting itself is on a no obligation basis. If you do choose to take out a Wesleyan financial product as a result, there’ll be an initial advice fee and often ongoing management charges to pay. While our Specialist Financial Advisers will often make recommendations, there’s no obligation to take out any Wesleyan products or services.

  • What should I prepare ahead of the meeting?

    To make the most of your time with your Specialist Financial Adviser, it can be handy to have your questions ready, as well as any information or documents relating to your finances (such as savings or investment details).

    You may also be asked to complete a ‘Financial Outline’ ahead of the session. This enables you to tell your Adviser about your current circumstances and future goals, so they can prepare an appointment tailored to you.

    If you choose not to complete the Financial Outline in advance, you’ll need to do it as part of your appointment.

  • How long does the meeting last?

    An initial meeting with a Specialist Financial Adviser will typically last around one hour. However, this does depend on the complexity of your circumstances.

  • How soon will I be able to get a meeting?

    You won’t have to wait long at all. Contact us today and we should be able to get you an appointment with a Specialist Financial Adviser within the next ten days.
