How we can help

You can get one-off advice or ongoing support on all aspects of your finances. From buying your first home to preparing for retirement, we can advise you every step of the way.

Your local financial adviser 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

Get a head start on your retirement planning. Wherever you are in your career, we can help you prepare for your life after work. Get advice on:

  • 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

We know just how hard you work for your savings, and we're here to make your savings work even harder for you. Do more with your money with Wesleyan Group’s range of ISAs and investment plans.

  • 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.

Finding a mortgage doesn’t have to be complicated. We can help you find the best deal for your home and handle the mortgage 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).

Protect the things you’ve worked hard for with an insurance policy tailored to your needs. If you’re in the market for insurance, 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. In some circumstances, they may be able to meet 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.
