I met with James Stirling from Blevins Franks Marbella to discuss savings and investments in Spain. James was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and able to communicate everything in an extremely clear way, which for me was a breath of fresh air. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James.

Professional from the start, great welcome escorted to the meeting room and offered Tea or Coffee. Mr Cairns was a pleasure to talk to and explained everything clearly with clarity. Just disappointed with the outcome regarding the profit ratio to the funds that I would have been invested in the company. Especially that I have now spoken to 2 other wealth companies and the margin of difference is quite astounding. This is the reason why I only rated them 3/5 stars. SN

I have been dealing with Blevins Franks since 2017 and mostly with Ben Rycroft who I have found professional and knowledgeable about current markets and investments concerning my pension and would definitely recommend him and them .

We had a very informative and pleasant introductory conversation with Simon Everleigh who gave us some important pointers and a clear notion of how to proceed. On the basis of this call, we highly recommend this service.

My husband and I met with Cara Follows, Private Client Manager for our annual review this month. We have been with BF for almost 5 years during which time they have continued to provide a consistent and excellent service.
Cara now manages our pension funds and investments and our meeting this month was great, informal but informative and reassuring. Cara is extremely professional and answered the questions we had with confidence, promising to follow up on some other points around tax in due course.
The staff at BF are all extremely professional and friendly and we enjoy our interactions with them.
Thank you.
Jo and Peter Allen

After a lengthy period of research into who we should trust to manage our investment funds in Spain we decided to go with Blevins Franks. We felt that the advice we were receiving was clear, honest and in our best interests. Two years on and we continue to feel confident and comfortable with our decision. We have received on going advice about the investment markets and have had several reviews at which recommendations have been given allowing us to make changes with positive impact. Thank you to Brett, Cara and all team at BF Javea.

We have been using Blevins Franks and Siddals before the merger for over 20 years now. We have found both the advisors over those years have given us sound advice in a friendly manner. they are helpful and above all competent.

Have been with Blevins since I moved to Spain - 3 1/2 years. Always feel assured regarding the quality of advice and information given to me plus the care, attention to detail and professionalism that I have experienced.

Highly recommended.

Blevins Franks has been outstanding in helping us plan our retirement move to Spain. From day one, they’ve guided us through complex financial and tax issues with clarity and professionalism.
A huge thank you to Chris, Ben, and the UK pension team for their expert advice and patient support. Their knowledge has given us real confidence in our decisions—especially regarding tax efficiency, pensions, and investment planning.
We genuinely feel we’re in safe hands and are very grateful for their personal, proactive approach. If you’re considering retiring abroad, we can’t recommend Blevins Franks highly enough!

We have been with Blevin Franks for over 2 years now and in that time we have found them to be extremely professional and helpful. Cara and Bret keep in regular contact and always happy to help. Highly recommend both of them and the company.

My wife and I are British expats and have lived in France for 20 years. Over this time, we have been fortunate in having David Hardy of Blevins Franks to advise us on a spectrum of matters relating to wealth, taxation and inheritance. In particular, second marriages and step-children can present some complex issues within the context of the different French and UK systems. David is very professional and informative. He has always been responsive and willing to allow us however much time is necessary to help with our enquiries. We find it so helpful and reassuring to have David's assistance in those matters which require specialist advice and clarification. We are extremely appreciative of the service that he has provided to us over the years and very happy to recommend him to other expats. Thank you, David.

I have been living in Portugal for 6 years and I have been a Blevins customer for 4+ years. I took my time with regards to choosing an IFA here who has lived and worked here for many years. Their local knowledge of the financial framework and options was crucial, and thus my decision to choose Matt Krystman and Blevins Franks. I've always found Matt very modest, professional, knowledgable with an ability to explain things in a clear and simple manner to somebody who is not a financial whizz. Matt, with the aide of Stephen Rankin, have guided me to an ideal long term solution for my retirement and future here in Portugal and for their experience and excellent service, I am very grateful.

I would highly recommend David Lamont from the Béziers office. He was incredibly well-informed and full of helpful advice. I would give more than 5 stars if that were an option!
