Our fees

We can help you with all your financial planning needs and we will always agree our costs with you before we carry out any chargeable work. See the summary of fees below which we have agreed for EY employees:

Discovery meeting – at no cost to you and no obligation to take up our services
Strategy report – £500 – £1,500 (incl. VAT) depending on the complexity of advice

The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate taxation and trust advice. The value of your investment can go down as well as up and you may not get back the full amount invested. Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. There will be a fee for mortgage advice which will depend on the amount you are looking to borrow, your requirements and circumstances. The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate some aspects of buy-to-let mortgages. Accessing pension benefits early may impact on levels of retirement income and is not suitable for everyone. You should seek advice to understand your options at retirement.

What our clients say

Harshit Mehta

James Hunt

“Feel very lucky to have the advice and expertise on offer, especially how much time was dedicated to our case. Having been supported through 3 applications and receiving excellent client service I would always recommend Foster Denovo.”
