Thoroughly disgusted

Thoroughly disgusted. I thought I had some kind of rapport with the adviser, but this year he told me in January that " some of your tax free pension would need to be used to cover the two months leading up to your state pension". At no point until 1st April, did this adviser send me anything to sign, and despite email, phone call and even a whatsapp message, all went unanswered until he contacted me two weeks before 1st April, told me I had to sign this electronically immediately or the funds would not be available in time.
They weren't. I had £200 sent on 1st, which left me short in paying monthly bills, then today, I was supposed to have £700 to cover the rest of the month. When it didn't arrive overnight as it usually does, I fired him off an email, only to have the reply that he is 'out of office' till 13th!
I'm just putting this out here- that man carefully planned this for 1st April. He could have done right, but went absent till it was too late. I will now be removing remaining funds away from Succession Wealth asap.

Calm, Knowledgeable and Truly Professional Guidance

I’ve been working with Marc Holden at Succession Wealth and couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Marc is calm, knowledgeable and consistently professional in his approach. He takes the time to all matters clearly and without pressure, which creates real confidence in the decisions being made. I particularly value his structured thinking and the way he balances long-term strategy with practical, real-world considerations.

He makes financial planning feel organised and under control, something that’s invaluable when making important life decisions.

A genuinely amazing service.

I had a friend refer me to this company after she had an excellent service with her pensions. My advisor was Caroline Brewster the same lady that helped my friend. I was finding it hard to find and manage my many pensions I have had over the years. Caroline was incredibly good at explaining things in such a way I could understand and follow exactly what to do. Her knowledge and support made my journey to taking part of my pension pot for a deposit on a house so easy. I couldn’t recommend this company more and especially Caroline Brewster for all her help and advice she gave me.

Top advice, top service and top returns

My wife and I have enjoyed the expertise and advice of Succession Financial Advisor Nick Yates for more than 15 years. Throughout these years Nick has been extremely informative and has always given (in our opinion) excellent advice.

He has helped with retirement plans, house moves, capital expenditures, ISA’s, removing funds from a company pension to a private SIPP and many other areas of money management too.

In addition to Nick’s help, we also find the back office support extremely good. In particular we find the platform services a great asset in Succession’s offering.

Both my wife and I have and will continue to wholeheartedly recommend both Nick Yates and Succession Wealth.

Excellent

I'm so very happy with this company! I've just taken out a remortgage (no existing mortgage) via Succession with my advisor Alex Brown. I only started the process with them on 1st December 2025 and today I received the funds! I'm rather taken aback at how wonderfully fast this has all been.
Alex has been wonderful throughout the process and even though we never met in person (our interactions were by phone and email) I felt I had my hand held just to the right amount to get me through the paperwork and the options.
I'm extremely happy with the deal we got and I'll be using Succession going forward.
Thanks Alex, you've made my families life that much easier!

We really appreciate your trust in Succession and look forward to supporting you in the years ahead.

Marc can be trusted to provide great advice

Marc has been my advisor for a few years now and he is a professional, caring, very friendly person (with a great sense of humour) who I can rely on to give me genuine, honest feedback. I have had other financial advisors in the past and annual review meetings were often a lot of confusing figures and tables. I have just completed my review with Marc this year and as usual, he was very thorough and patient, clearly explaining the performance of my investment, the impact of the recent budget and tax implications for my current situation which has helped me to understand what I need to do.
Marc can be trusted to provide great advice in a way that leaves you with a real sense of clarity and I'm feeling very confident about the way forward now and the options available to me. I would definitely recommend him.

Succession wealth are an absolute joke

Succession wealth are an absolute joke. After my father died it took them over 12 months to transfer the pension to my mother. They blamed everyone else along the way and yet they were almost always the ones at fault. Communication has been terrible and the level of incompetence truly outstanding. During what has been a very difficult time in our lives, Succession have made it even more difficult. I'm not sure we're allowed to name specific people on here, but if anyone needs names and details I'm happy to provide them.

Excellent Advice!

As always, my financial advisor James was very thorough in explaining fully all my options in respect of my Pension.
I am extremely pleased with how the investments are progressing in the nine and a half years since I retired.

Excellent support from Succession Wealth to consolidate pensions and spring clean our finances.

Caroline has been a fantastic financial advisor and has helped us navigate consolidation of our pensions, supporting us every step of the way, including extracting an AVC from the ghastly USS. She has also supported me to resolve some issues with inherited shareholdings. I have no hesitation in recommending Succession Wealth.
