  • Hello Simon, I just wanted to pass on my thanks for the amazing service Broadland consultants gives. Last year I decided to use Broadland Consultants to look at my pension provision.  I had a number of schemes that although were performing they all had a high commission charge.  They were all amalgamated into one scheme, a low risk safe choice as I am now well into my 50’s.  I have just had my first years statement and was very happy to see a growth of almost £35,000.  I now feel much happier and relaxed about being ready for retirement. I am in the process of moving and am using Broadland Consultants to help with the mortgage.  They came to my house for a 7.30am arranged appointment, allowing us not to have take time out of work.  By midday a mortgage had been approved in principle and three days later a survey on the new property had been carried out and the mortgage approved.  It has to have been the smoothest easiest experience of getting a mortgage I’ve experience in 30 years. I would thoroughly recommend Broadland Consultants, no hard sell and they listen to what you want to get out of your situation. Many thanks Brian
