FAQs
Can you give me Mortgage Advice?
We focus on providing high-quality advice in our core areas.
We don’t advise on:
- Mortgages
- Equity release
However, we can introduce you to an independent financial adviser who specialises in this area.
Do I need Ongoing Reviews?
We take a flexible approach.
If you value the opportunity to have dedicated time each year to plan for your future then our annual review service will be right for you.
Ongoing reviews are strongly recommended if you:
- Are new to investing.
- Have complex planning needs or changing needs.
- Are taking income for your policies.
- Are being advised by an attorney.
We’ll always be honest about what adds value – and what doesn’t.
How do I know what advice I need?
We will use our first meeting to build a holistic understanding of you and your finances.
We will then discuss and agree the advice you need from us, based on your needs and goals.
Am I a good fit for Fairmile Financial Planning Ltd?
Our service is designed for people who:
- Have more than £150,000 to invest.
- Want a long-term, trusted relationship.
- Are open to learning and understanding.

Where can I see my financial information?
You can easily access your financial information by logging in to the client portal.
Many of the providers we use have websites and apps that you can register with.
Do I need to travel to see you?
We prefer to have first meetings face to face. This can be in your home if within a reasonable distance or at our office in Henley.
We also conduct client meetings online via online video calls.
Your online video link will be emailed to you in advance of our meeting, with simple instructions about how to join.
Can you advise my partner as well?
We encourage couples to do their planning together.
We can then look at your needs as an individual as well as your plans as a couple.
Can someone else manage my financial affairs for me?
We strongly recommend that all clients set up a Lasting Power of Attorney.
If you have an Enduring or Lasting Power of Attorney in place, we would encourage your attorney(s) to attend meetings with you, if appropriate, in order to support your decision making.
In certain circumstances, we can speak to your attorney on their own.
You will remain our client and any decisions must be made in your best interests.
If you would like to have someone with you, or require any additional support when we are advising you, just let us know.
Encourage. Enable. Empower.
That’s the standard we hold ourselves to – every time we work with you.
