My husband, David Berry, works with St James's Place and has been in 'the business' for 15 years.
A large amount of his clients are based around the Nappy Valley and he is classed as both an investment and pensions expert by the regulators (he is a Chartered Financial Planner)
If you want to have a look at his website it is www.dbwealth.co.uk

Hi
For mortgages, I (and now most of my friends and family) have been using these guys for several years.
They also provide the full IFA service but I haven't really needed to use it.

(He's my husband so I hope is financial advice is good as thats where my moneys going!)

I would definitely recommend Martin Lavelle - he's just helped us with a really complicated mortgage and negotiated a fantastic borrowing rate for us. He has also organised our pensions, which we were very happy with too.

We've used St James's Place on a personal level and found them useful for what we needed.

Also work in pensions, and often we refer people to Close Brothers or Hargreaves Lansdown who have some great specialists in specifically tax, pensions and associated investment.
