Protecting Our Clients Service Tailored To Your Needs  Toni Turton We understand that decisions affecting your financial future are amongst the most important you’ll ever make so we’ll give you the time and attention you need. We offer an exploratory first meeting here at our expense during which we will conduct a thorough fact-finding exercise. Once we understand your situation and what work is required we shall tell you in writing what the cost will be. All fees are agreed in advance - there are no nasty surprises! We are certainly not expensive but we do deliver value and our FairFees Promise makes West Riding one of the UK's most competitive firms of its type. We provide all recommendations in writing and are happy to work with your solicitor, accountant or other professional advisors to ensure our advice fits with theirs. Most important of all, we tell it like it is in plain English. The Importance of Our Independence
'Restricted' advisers are limited as to the products, funds, and services they are able to offer. Most 'appointed representative' firms are restricted, as are most of the large national firms, meaning they can only offer you their own in-house products and funds, or those of other firms with whom they have some form of reciprocal arrangement. This inflates their profits but often camouflages the total cost to clients of their services. We act on your behalf and in your best interests only. All our charges are completely transparent and because we are independent we can access products, funds, and services from the entire market. We are not limited to recommending only the products of an associated or parent company because nobody owns West Riding apart from the Liversidge family. Unlike restricted firms, nobody can force us to place business with any particular product provider. Heres what the BBC's Paul Lewis says about non-independent advice: https://www.moneymarketing.co.uk/paul-lewis-i-would-never-recommend-a-restricted-adviser/?cmpid=pmalert_5386150&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=mm_daily_news&adg=90A2C618-02E4-4EBB-B375-64A690ED8BD9 The Media
