How can 1825 help me?

Here’s how the experts at 1825 can help you manage your life savings and your estate.

• Tax planning: Our experts can make sure your finances are as tax-efficient as possible. We can even complete your tax return.
• Retirement planning: We can make a personal plan to help you retire the way you want. We look at all your life savings and income to help with cash flow planning and a budget for your retirement.
• Investing: With a blend of investment styles, we can help you find a strategy that meets your agreed level of risk.
• Inheritance planning: We can help you pass on more of your life savings to loved ones by lowering the amount of tax you’ll pay and by working with you to put your Will in place. We can also do the estate administration after a loved one dies to take that burden off you.
• Family protection: Based on your needs, we provide recommendations for mortgage protection, including critical illness cover, income protection and life cover. We can also work with you to put Powers of Attorney in place to allow people you trust to make decisions for you if you can’t for any reason.
• Education funding: Help give your children or wider family the best start with a plan to help fund their education.
• Long-term care: We can help you work out a strategy to help fund your long-term care. This can be done using your pension money and other sources of income.
• Mortgages: We can review your existing mortgage and work with you to make sure you have the right mortgage in place, whether you’re interested in a rate switch, are re-mortgaging or are buying a new home/additional property.
