Written by the company

The Pensions Adviser offers clear and transparent pension advice tailored to your goals. Whether you're planning for retirement, reviewing existing pensions or just looking for straightforward guidance, we help you take control of your financial future with confidence. No jargon. No pressure. We offer flexible support, from one-off consultations to ongoing help. Our initial chat is always free and there’s no obligation to go further. We believe retirement planning shouldn’t be complicated or costly – just focused on you. The Pensions Adviser is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN: 725689)... A pension is a long-term investment not normally accessible until 55 (57 from April 2028). The value of your investments (and any income from them) can go down as well as up, which would have an impact on the level of pension benefits available. Our service is aimed at UK residents only.

Excellent service from a friendly, professional team.

I can’t overemphasise how much I appreciated the excellent service I received from The Pensions Adviser. They made a very frustrating and confusing process so much simpler for me, patiently explaining my options, regularly keeping me informed and always being friendly but professional. There was a very annoying long delay in one of the, several, small pensions payments that made up my annuity but they kept pursuing it until it was finally resolved, at no extra cost to me, despite having to spend far more time than should have been necessary to sort out a modest annuity pot.

This was the second time I used The Pension Adviser for the process of transferring my private pensions. On the first occasion some years ago they were terrific as at that time I dealt with Sarah. I was so happy to know that both Sarah and Julie would be my contacts again. They were absolutely wonderful from start to finish and every step of the process was thoroughly explained. It has been a pleasure again to have their expert advice and service. Thank you Sarah and Julie for your professionalism and being do open with all your advice.

Outstanding!

Having spent most of my working life trying, often unsuccessfully, to pin down “professionals” willing to provide clear, upfront quotes, my heart sank when I was told that transferring my three private pensions would require the involvement of a financial adviser.

I initially contacted an adviser recommended by my pension provider and, as I feared, they declined to provide even an indicative fee, despite being supplied with full and up-to-date valuation details.

I then contacted The Pensions Advisor, and the contrast could not have been greater. Although my pensions were identified as “complex”, the fee structure was explained clearly and unambiguously from the outset, which was exactly what I was looking for.
The entire process, from first contact through consultation to completion of the transfers, was straightforward, well managed, and supported by exemplary communication throughout (thank you, Julie 😊).
Subsequently, an issue arose with my workplace pension after the provider had given me incorrect information, making a further transfer necessary. I contacted Sarah, explained the situation, and she immediately agreed to facilitate the additional transfer at no cost to me, an entirely unexpected but hugely appreciated gesture.

My dealings were primarily with Julie and Sarah, and I can honestly say that I have never encountered a more helpful, professional, and genuinely client-focused business in my entire working life.

The Pensions Advisor are quite simply outstanding, and to borrow a well-worn piece of advertising jargon: “If Carlsberg did financial advisers…”

We're delighted to hear that you found our fee explanation clear from the start, especially after a frustrating experience elsewhere. And that the whole transfer process from first contact felt straightforward and well managed.

We're also pleased we could assist with the additional workplace pension transfer when the provider's error arose.

Thank you again for taking the time to leave your feedback.
Your kind words about our professionalism and helpfulness are exactly what we love hearing – and we really appreciate you mentioning Julie and Sarah's client-focused approach. They will be so happy to read this!

Amazing service and completely stress free.

I was past on the Pensions Advisors details by a friend of mine in the same predicament.
My military pension was trapped in a dodgy scheme in malta and I could get it out. After several fail attempts with other companies I finally found these guys and what a blessing.
I wasnt expecting much but these guys got all my pension out of Malta and into a decent pension scheme in the UK.
Sarah and Julie thankyou so very very much for acting so quickly and being so helpful. I really appreciate you.
I recommend these guys to anyone and everyone x

I contacted the Pensions Adviser after seeing an advertisement in a local magazine. From the moment they got back in touch they were an absolute pleasure to work with. It was like talking to friends who really wanted to help out. I spoke to 2 other companies regarding my position but they were the easiest people to deal with and explained everything in plain English.

Great Service from Mark. We had an ongoing problem with a pension provider that Mark worked hard to resolve and didn't give up until he had done so.

Above and beyond

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Sarah and the team at Pension Claims Advisors, who have gone truly above and beyond in providing support and guidance during my pension transfer process. Their exceptional service and comprehensive advice have been instrumental in helping me navigate the complexities of transferring my pension from abroad back to the UK. The team has been incredibly proactive, addressing all my concerns with clarity and patience. Moreover, their commitment to assisting ex-military personnel in the fight for justice regarding mis-sold pensions is commendable; they have been invaluable allies in reaching fair resolutions with the Pension Ombudsman Service. Sarah and her team are not just great advisors; they are dedicated advocates whose efforts have made a significant difference in my experience. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking knowledgeable and compassionate assistance in pension matters.
