NOVA and particularly Simon Cahill have…
NOVA and particularly Simon Cahill have been clear, concise and have listened to my requirements, outlining the risks and potential gains of each strategy to educate me, so that I can make an informed decision, at every stage. Any questions I have are answered promptly and the platforms and tools are easy and clear to navigate and manage. This is a 5 star experience from my previous FA’s, I just wished I’d moved to NOVA sooner.
From Stress to Relief – Excellent Mortgage Team!
Special thanks to Will (and Zoe) for their patience and expert guidance, we had an incredible experience with the Nova Team. We originally planned to pay off my mortgage in full, but when the stock market unexpectedly crashed and wiped out 20% of my portfolio, we had to change plans at the last minute.
Their team handled the situation with professionalism, speed, and compassion. They worked with us to secure the right mortgage extension without making me feel rushed or pressured. The communication was clear throughout, and they really went the extra mile to make sure we felt supported and understood.
It’s rare to find a mortgage company that truly treats you like a person, not just a number. Highly recommend!

We wish we had done this decades ago!
We have spent years with various pension pots, wondering whether we were on track to our retirement. But finally got around to speak to the professionals at Nova to analyse our whole financial status. Lauren O'Loughlin and the Amy team have been an absolute pleasure and delight to work with. It's just a shame we didn't do this 10 or 20 years ago. We are now recommending our children do the same. Thank you Lauren and Nova

Dan Burrows at Nova has been a breath of fresh air and a wise, trustworthy advisor as we have considered pensions, investments and mortgage decisions, and all financial planning. Dan listens hard and takes care to understand what matters most to clients. He shows care and expertise and, together with colleague Amy Farringdon, provides a good standard service.
Excellent Experience with the Nova Team
From financial planning with Andrew and Amy to our remortgage with Will and Kerri, the Nova team has been fantastic. Their clear and professional advice has helped me map out my retirement options, ensuring the most tax-efficient approach while giving me confidence in my long-term financial plans.
Our remortgage last year was also handled smoothly, with multiple scenarios considered. Looking back a year later, we’re confident we secured the best option available. Financial planning is a long-term journey, and I feel completely at ease with the Nova team guiding us.

Recommending William Shillingford
Nova partnered with our company to provide seminars on Mortgages and best advice. We engaged Nova following this session presented by William Shillingford.
William has been a huge help with getting our first time mortgage set up and also recommended and liaised with our Solicitor from day 1. I would highly recommend Nova and William to anyone looking to get mortgage advice.
Recommending Chris O'Connor
We asked Nova for help with our financial planning after feeling underwhelmed and a bit directionless with our previous adviser. Chris and his team have been a revelation. They took time to understand all the detail of our family's finances, objectives and quirks and have given us first rate advice about retirement and wealth planning, protection and risk mitigation since then. They have developed exactly the financial roadmap for us that we felt was lacking from our previous adviser. The advice is thoroughly researched and personalised but also easily understandable, and the Nova team are fantastic at keeping us up to date with progress and responding to our queries. It's great to have the confidence that our family's finances now have the expert guidance we need and can trust.
Fantastic service from William and Zoe
Fantastic service from William and Zoe. Always prompt to reply, informative and answered all questions we had thoroughly. Made this side of the process seem seamless and I really felt they were on our side in trying to secure the best rate. Would highly recommended.
Mortgage broker- great service
Our NOVA mortgage broker Will was absolutely brilliant in helping us through the mortgage process for our first property.
He was extremely friendly and professional, had a video call with us to understand our needs, and secured us the best deal on the market, as well as preparing all of the documentation and application for us.
He proactively looked for better offers and we were able to cut our mortgage rate 4 times before completion.
This is all at no additional cost as the mortgage broker fees are paid by the mortgage lender.
Very pleased with the service provided…
