How we choose the best equity release advisers serving Padstow
We don’t run a directory, and we don’t rank on who pays most. Every equity release adviser we introduce in Padstow passes The Vetted Wealth Standard, the same four checks, applied every time, and deliberately more demanding than the regulatory minimum.
We start from the FCA register and the specific permissions your advice needs, then look hard at how established the firm really is, its qualifications, and its track record with real clients. Only firms we would recommend to our own family make the list.
- 1
FCA register verified
Authorisation and the specific permissions your advice needs, vital for regulated work such as pension transfers and equity release.
- 2
Genuinely established
A real, sustained track record in and around Padstow, a stable team with local roots, not a call-centre with a local postcode.
- 3
Properly qualified
Chartered (CII) or Certified (CISI) status, plus any specialist qualifications your situation calls for.
- 4
Track record examined
Complaints history and client outcomes reviewed, and monitored over time.
Anyone can call themselves a financial adviser. We make sure the one you speak to is genuinely established, properly qualified, and demonstrably trusted, before we ever introduce you.
The Vetted Wealth StandardNot a directory. A concierge service.
Why use us, when you could search online or fill in a comparison form? Because those tools do something very different. A directory lists whoever pays or registers; a comparison site ranks on headline fees, not on whether a firm is genuinely any good.
We work the other way around, vetting first, then introducing you by hand to a single firm that suits your situation. No ranked table, no “sponsored” badge, no pressure. And because it’s free to you, there’s nothing to lose.
A directory or comparison site
- Lists whoever pays or registers
- Ranks on headline fees, not quality
- No due diligence on your behalf
- Hands you a list and wishes you luck
Vetted Wealth
- We vet every firm first
- Matched by hand to your situation
- Full due diligence, done for you
- One right adviser, free, no obligation
