Reliable and thoughtful asvisor

Tom has been my advisor for about 5 years now. I have real confidence in his knowledge and impartiality, both based upon him knowing (or finding out) the answers to the myriad of questions that I ask him! He listens actively and all of his recommendations have performed as well as or better than expected.

Hannah Lucy,

Hannah Lucy,
It’s very comforting to know that Hannah is always at the end of the phone if I have any worries. In April I phoned Hannah with a problem, she took all the worry away from me & sorted it all out, I couldn’t have done it on my own. I would highly recommend Hannah. I’m looking forward to our catch up meeting in August.

Hannah Lucy provides a quality service

Both my wife and I use Hannah Lucy as our financial advisor. We have always found her extremely helpful and very thorough in her research into financial products that would suit us. Would highly recommend.

Taking funds out of accounts

I needed to take funds from my flexible ISA for a short term loan. Tom Kendall at Fairstone listened to my request, offered useful advice about repayment, enacted the request and the required funds were made available to me within a ten working day period as advised.

I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with Paul Cleveland and Katie Cleveland for many years both for business and personal needs and each experience has been exemplary. Their dedication and professionalism are unmatched and they consistently go above and beyond to deliver outstanding service. Every interaction has been smooth, efficient, and genuinely positive. They’ve earned my complete trust, thank you Paul and Katie. A well-deserved 5-star rating from me.

I cannot praise my accountant highly enough, Dominique has worked tirelessly to get me a good deal on my pension. She has worked so hard for me, she has gone above and beyond to get me the best deal. I hope to continue to work with Dominique even after I have received my pension. I highly recommend Fairstone to anyone who needs help with pensions or other money issues.

Great mortgage service as always from Claire Allison.

Great service as always from Claire Allison, our trusted mortgage advisor at Fairstone. Claire always goes the extra mile to find the right products for us, whether it be for investment properties or personal mortgages. Claire is proactive, efficient and friendly - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

First Meeting with Mervyn

My father has been using Grayside/Fairstone for many years. He has always been happy with the service.
We met Mervyn in January 2026 when he visited us at home- he was punctual with a friendly and professional manner.
Mervyn explained all information clearly.
Thank you Mervyn. Les.

Onboarding

From the first phone call with Fairstone to the latest exchange of emails with Elliot the whole onboarding process with Fairstone was professional, efficient and business like yet retained the personal touch I was looking for. Yes I want sound investment but I also want someone on the journey with me holding my hand gently so to speak. Very pleased to be a Fairstone customer this year.
