NOVA Avis 194

Very happy with the service Will and the team provided: clear advice and very responsive. We will happily recommend Nova to friends and family looking for a mortgage.

After a few years of trying to manage my own journey towards retirement, and the unexpected anxiety that came with it, I began trawling through You Tube for some inspiration and came across some very relevant and helpful content from a James Shack. A bit more research led me to NOVA Wealth and I decided to engage their services a couple of years ago, specifically from their James Butler and Amy Farringdon. I'll be honest and say the first year was a big adjustment on my part, building up a relationship with James and Amy and putting my trust in the NOVA Wealth brand. Now 2 years down the line, I have no regrets in my decision to go with NOVA Wealth and have confidence that my financial wellbeing is now under control. However, the unexpected bonus is the positive impact it has also had on my mental and physical wellbeing as the anxieties I had trying to do it myself have all but disappeared. This is due to the knowledge that James, Amy and their Team are on hand for not only the planned support but also for the unplanned circumstances when they arise. Most recently, my wife wanted to retire earlier than planned due to her worsening arthritis, and within the space of 3 months she is now retired, we are mortgage free, we are achieving the lifestyle we wanted and we are looking towards the future with confidence. Happy Days indeed!

Chris O’Connor and the team at Nova Wealth gave me exactly the push and the plan I needed to get control of my financial health and future.

I was sitting on a fair bit of cash but nervous to act. I actually had an existing adviser but they charged fees on deposit so I was reluctant to instantly be down and was considering doing things myself. But I didn’t really want to do it myself as I wanted more confidence on something so important.

I’m so glad I waited and was introduced to Nova! The plan, independent of markets, has done great! What I value most is knowing the team are still there for me as my circumstances change.

Lower fees, better service, a really friendly and helpful team - I can’t rate them highly enough!

Helpful and knowledgeable team; clear and prompt experience; highly recommended.

Great experience with NOVA! They made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward, always taking the time to explain everything clearly and keep me updated. I felt supported every step of the way - thank you Will and the team :)

I had a great experience with Will and Zoe during my remortgage. They were both professional, patient, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I would recommend!

William and the team from Nova are very helpful.
I would recommend to all

Had a fantastic experience working with Ed from the Mortgage & Protection team at Nova. Ed was professional, communicative and went above and beyond to ensure we were getting the best rate on our mortgage. This was the first time that we were buying property, and Ed was very helpful in explaining everything and guiding us through the process.

My advisor is a good listener and covered all the things that were important to me.
Lots of information has been taken prior to today’s big chat about my options, however some of the information his team put together was incorrect. No big decisions have been made at this stage so this didn’t matter too much but they will have to repeat some of the work as the facts they got wrong will make a difference to the final numbers.

We've been working with Valentina for the past 2 years and feel simultaneously motivated and relieved that we found her! Her professionalism and understanding of our unique circumstances has been excellent and we couldn't be happier with the service we've had from her and the team.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Simon Cahill for 5 years. With his and the Nova team’s expert guidance we know we have everything in place we need and a pension pot and savings that will work for our future needs. Our investments were matched to our risk appetites and suited to each of our stages in life and are reassessed regularly. It has given us peace of mind to know we have all our major upcoming life events factored in and catered for financially. When life threw in a curve ball a couple of years ago Simon was there to help re-forecast and reassure us everything would be OK. More recently he has been brilliant in giving advice on the most tax efficient way to invest an unexpected lump sum. We highly recommend Simon & the Nova team.

My wife & I have been working with Valentina (and Amy) for the past few years (and watched the youtube content). Unlike with other financial advisors the advice I'm getting here is personal and more than just money, it's about overall life experience. I am always surprised by the thoroughness and openness - they tell you all the pros and cons of every bit of advice even if it's at their own expense. Valentina has been extremely pleasant and guiding in our journey too, we are novices in wealth but know we are in good hands.

We have been with Nova for 18 months now, and the experience has been exceptional. Lauren (and Amy) have been great throughout, and I can highly recommend their services. Both are super responsive and go out of their way to help! I also like the Nova app, which provides an overview of Nova and non-Nova products.

I have been working with Chris from Nova for the last couple of years and it's been a fantastic experience.
I really like how they approach the conversations (starting out with what your goals are and then working out what they can do to support us achieving them)
It's also been great to know there's someone at the end of the phone / email to answer any questions I have. Chris always says to think of him as my Financial GP, which is a great analogy.
Overall I can't fault the service. It even looks like I might be able to retire earlier than I thought!

An honest and professional service from William Shillingford who did a fine job with mortgage. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

My partner and I started to review the market for a financial planner following an accident which had the potential to shorten my career.
Following dialogue with several providers, our initial conversation with Chris O'Connor was a breath of fresh air and immediately differentiated Nova. The focus was on us, our goals and to help us create a financial plan to support an earlier than anticipated retirement. This was the polar opposite approach to other organisations who simply presented historical investment performance as the reason to select them, without a genuine interest in the ambitions of us as clients.
The process of transferring our various investments to the Nova platform was efficient, and above all every element of the engagement is ultra-transparent. Our regular touch points with Chris are well structured and we review the plan with him to ensure that we are meeting our trajectory.
Prior to working with Nova we were DIY investors, hoping that we were doing the right thing, but without genuine strategy or a Plan B. We now have real confidence in our portfolio as our long-term vehicle into financial independence, and are so happy that we selected Chris at Nova as our advisor.
These guys are a solid 5* recommendation.

Toby and the team at NOVA Wealth have been excellent throughout our time with them. Toby is highly knowledgeable, professional, and clearly takes the time to understand what matters to us on a personal level, particularly around long-term financial security. He explains things clearly and makes complex decisions feel much easier to navigate. The wider NOVA Wealth team have also been consistently supportive and responsive, which gives us real confidence that we’re in safe hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Will and Zoe have recently done my remortgage and it was genuinely great. They handled a load of admin for us and prompted me when needed. More than happy to recommend Will!

Thoughtful, considered, advice - mortgages made easy. William Shillingford went out of his way to discuss the area with me. Ontop of the regular advice, I had several lateral questions - lender-advisor relationships, fee vs no fee etc - and Will was more than happy to give his honest thoughts and considerations. Genuinely interested in the market, his advice and experience continues to show me what makes NovaWM different.

After thoroughly researching brokers for my property purchase, I decided on Nova and I wasn’t disappointed. Will Shillingford was communicative, diligent and transparent throughout the process and on hand to answer the many questions I had. I would not hesitate to recommend him or to use his services again. Thank you!
