Investments
The list of things an IFA can help with is huge, but one of the best times to work with someone is when you look at investing. An adviser can help you to make the right decisions for your savings. They can also guide you with things like investment ISAs and buying stocks, shares, and other assets. On an ongoing basis you can rely on IFAs to manage asset portfolios for you too. Their experience can help you to build more wealth.
Pensions
Another time you can benefit from working with an IFA is when you need to get to pension planning. It is one of the most important things you need to do to ensure you will be comfortable financially when you retire. IFAs can work with you to compare and pick personal pensions. They can also arrange company pension transfers for you. Plus, you can trust an adviser when you need to finally access the money.
Mortgages
You can talk to a financial adviser about different types of mortgages too. One thing they can do is offer mortgage reviews, looking at deals to see which is right for you. It is even more important to talk to an expert if you look at buy to let. These mortgages are different and many are interest only. An IFA can explain the differences and support you. Plus, you can talk to IFAs about equity release and more in the future.
Tax & Trusts
Most people don't have a lot of experience when it comes to estates. However, IFAs certainly do. They can give you the best support, explaining important things like trusts and trust planning, inheritance tax, and more. An IFA can make it easier for you to make all the necessary arrangements.
