Ross has been superb with his financial planning, coaching and advice. We have seen some fantastic returns from the investments made which has been really pleasing. Ross has always been really good at explaining what we are doing with the money and helping me to understand financial planning better, he is always on the end of the phone if I need any advice which is very comforting.

And I felt relaxed when putting all the questions I needed answered I also recommended him to a friend who was also very satisfied with his service I will be using his company again and would definitely recommend fairveiw financial services again. Ross is a top bloke

Ross was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire property buying process, he was very knowledgeable and patient with us. Throughout the entire process, we felt like Ross was absolutely brilliant and so professional at securing the bits and pieces needed to secure our property. We would absolutely use Ross' services again in future, and definitely would recommend to friends and family who would like to pursue the same process as us, or if they need financial advice.

My Wife and I wanted guidance with our pension plans to ensure that we were going to do the right thing and maximise the benefits given our age, our needs in retirement and security of income long term. Ross provided extremely sound advice, which guided us along a path which we were sure would give us what we needed to see our retirement expectations develop to the best of our advantage.

We have now put our plan in motion and all is looking extremely well for the future. The advice and support provided was 1st class. Ross was an extremely good listener and considered everything we had issues and concerns about. The service was seamless, friendly and efficient. 10/10 from us.

Ross was phenomenal. Explained all the terms and process from day 1 through to signing. He went out his way to take time on the phone too. His friendly approach was refreshing, as at times other options were pushy. Really recommend Ross and team for mortgage applications.

Ross advice, support and assistance with the sourcing of my and my partners mortgage was invaluable. As first time buyers with little knowledge of the process, Ross was on hand if we had any questions on the mortgage products or the other aspects of the house purchasing process. His advice to us was thorough and considered, and he was able to offer additional advice on my partners finances, ensuring that we both have the right level of cover in place that suited our needs and budget.

My partner and I used Fairview Financial Management Ltd when buying our first home and couldn't have been happier with the service. We worked with Ross who was so helpful, kind and professional. As first time buyers we naturally had a lot of questions about the house buying process and Ross was really clear and patient in helping us to understand how everything would work.

He secured us the best possible mortgage rate for our circumstances in a difficult time for mortgages, and supported us throughout the entire home buying process. We would highly recommend Fairview Financial Management, a pleasure to deal with.

I have been seeking advice and guidance from Ross for approximately 3 years now on all financial activities, from starting my investing journey to buying my first house. Ross has always been incredibly helpful and assisted in any way he can - no request is ever too much trouble. I would highly recommend Ross, and Fairview Financial Management to anyone looking for Financial Advice or planning.

I couldnt recommend Ross Lacey more he has helped guide us through the tricky world of pension amalgamation and investments. He really gets to know his clients and spends as much time as you need explaining your options and making recommendations that you are always comfortable with. He remembers the things you have shared with him and he genuinely wants to get the best financial outcomes for you. If you need a financial advisor you cant go wrong with Ross

My husband and I approached Ross for help with planning for our future retirements. He was so patient and knowledgable on the subject and really took time to understand our situation and what we wanted. After our discussion, we decided to wait to enlist Ross help for a more convenient point for us in future. We got so much value from our 1 hour consultation and definitely wont hesitate to get started with the team when were ready. Thanks so much!

Ross is a very knowledgeable and confident financial advisor who has offered me very clear options in order that I may retire and enjoy time after work without worrying about my financial position. His advice following the death of my mother was very helpful indeed. In addition he has also built the framework for a legacy that I can leave for my children. I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone who is planning their retirement.

Ross spent time wading through the paperwork relating to x4 separate work pensions (including the dreaded Equitable Life). He gained up to date values on them all and then in his patient, friendly and professional manner explained the the options available to me. Top Notch, Thanx and would highly recommend

I first contacted Ross a couple of years ago. He initially helped me to sort out some important insurances and improve existing ones, after he highlighted valuable information about my existing ones which I didn't know about. Since then he has helped me with financial planning, to see what options I have around my short and long-term goals. Ross is a knowledgeable and friendly guy and cares about you achieving your financial goals. I recommend contacting him if you are seeking some assistance with finances.

I have worked with Ross for more than 5 years, his excellent guidance has helped me plan an enjoyable retirement, earlier than I thought possible.

We were recommended Ross by a family friend. Ross was very helpful in guiding us through the process as first time buyers. Options and requirements were explained and he was adept at explaining what the pros and cons of various items were, as well as offering his own personal opinion whilst respecting your choice as a client. We had initially secured a 2 year fixed, at little hassle thanks to Ross and the team, but the interest rate mayhem in 2022 saw us want to switch to a 5 year. Ross and Kyrie were able to secure a new 5 year fixed within one day and acted very quickly to ensure we could achieve a reasonable rate.

The product secured was withdrawn the following day, and we incurred no extra charge for this. Ross and the team were adept at keeping up to speed with the process and always reached out to see how things were progressing as well. Now a happy home owner since March '23, I would highly recommend Ross and the team to anyone looking for an advisor.

My father recently passed away. As he took care of the financial side of things I thought it best to seek professional advice regarding my mother's affairs. I heard about Ross through a friend. Ross has helped us to understand my mum's current financial position and is supporting her with future financial planning now she is retired. He has given her an honest view of where she is financially and what she is able to spend going forward.

As part of this he has made investment recommendations in terms of her inherited pension scheme and the investing of other cash she holds in ISAs and Unit Trusts. Being a pensioner, he has worked with her to identify the right level of investment risk to take, as well as making recommendations on how she can use her money in the right way to reduce tax implications. Ross kept us engaged every step of the way and with every decision, visiting us regularly at home to run through everything, always making sure mum's goals were kept on track. He has been a pleasure to deal with.

An excellent experience form start to end. Ross provided a professional, knowledgeable and thorough service. Would highly recommend and will be using him again.

Please see below my review for Ross having completed a remortgage with him recently. What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser? I needed to remortgage and also wanted to discuss my other financial circumstances at the same time How has Ross Lacey helped you? Ross was excellent in all areas. He spent a lot of time trying to get to know me and my goals, asking lots of pertinent questions. Ross then discussed some life planing with me around savings and pensions and I used him as a soundboard for different options that I was considering.

Ultimately Ross left me understanding all the options in detail and helped me to come to my own decision. Ross also took the time to seek out the best possible mortgage deal for my remortgage and secured us a better rate than expected (which meant having to pay off a tiny bit extra of our current mortgage upon switching). Furthermore he was also able to recommend a more than satisfactory solicitor to assist with that side of the process.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for? Yes absolutely. The remortgage was smooth and the additional help from Ross on the life planning side of things was excellent. What could they have done better? I genuinely dont believe Ross could have done any more for us to help. 10/10 service.

I have been in contact with Ross for a number of years and really appreciate his approach and professionalism. My inial contact with Ross was during a period where my grandma fell ill and required our family to navigate possible investments to support her care costs. We were recommended Ross and really appreciated how he approached the situation, due to the passing of my grandma we didn't need to pursue the advice Ross had provided, however we are still using happily Fairvew Financial for ongoing investment and mortgage advice. My family and I would have no hesitation in recommending Fairview Financial as an independant financial advisor!

Ross has helped me dramatically over the past few years, helping me to evaluate my financial goals over the next 5 years as well as supporting my pension decisions for the long term. He has kept me informed of updates and potential changes as well as things going on within the market. He has always been extremely transparent about the fees charged and very professional, have recommended him to several friends and family members.

Ross explained the differences between the pensions I was being offered. He was very professional, personable and was able to relay information in a simplistic way for someone like me (with little financial understanding) very well. I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.

Ive been using Ross for a variety of services over the last year and its been an absolute dream. His breadth of knowledge is awesome so hes always able to help out. Ross takes calls night and day to get things done for his clients. Recently, he helped us with our mortgage and its safe to say we wouldnt have made the stamp duty window without his tireless efforts.

More than that, it was his general advice and support that helped us through. Highly recommend Ross to anyone whos looking for an easy going, highly professional financial advisor

I have not dealt with a financial advisor before so did not know what to expect. I chose Ross because of the many positive reviews I read and they certainly live up to their expectation. I felt very comfortable talking to Ross about my finances as he is very approachable, professional and very knowledgeable in this field. I would not hesitate to recommend Ross to family, friends and anyone reading this account of my experience.

Ross was very professional, knowledgeable and reliable. He has a great wealth of knowledge and was able to look at my situation holistically. Some financial advisers just focus on the one thing without giving advise on the full picture. Therefore, I can't recommend him enough. Thanks Ross.

Ross has been fantastic in advising for a range of products for us. He has taken time to understand our requirements and worked with us and our accountants to provide the best products. Few financial advisors spend the time that Ross has taken to get to know us, is always on hand to help and to give easy to understand answers to complex questions.

I was referred to Ross by a friend. He spent a considerable amount of time understanding my objectives and explained everything clearly. Very happy so far with the investments he has suggested and I have a lot more comfort that I'm making the most of my savings.

I needed advice on pension planning and really just a general review of my financial situation and future plans. Ross listened to my needs and asked challenging questions to help develop a plan for me. We have since maintained regular contact and I look forward to continually working with Ross in the future.
