How we
add value


Our investment philosophy emphasises quality and diversification alongside face-to-face independent financial advice. We choose appropriate investments linked to your attitude to risk, to achieve the return required to meet your financial objectives. Our advisers add value by selecting investments from the entire market, including active, passive, and sustainable investment solutions.

Financial Planning Consultation


We offer all prospective customers a free no obligation initial one-hour financial planning consultation. At the meeting we discuss your requirements, our advice and investment process and explain our customer fees. We act as the impartial, informed buyer for our customers. Complete our booking form or contact us for more  information.

Transparent Charging


Our financial advisers agree a fixed upfront fee on a case-by-case basis dependent on the financial advice required. We deliver financial solutions solely created to match your specific needs. This enables us to deliver financial solutions in a professional and cost-effective manner. We also offer a choice of services and fees for ongoing advice.

Working with
professional intermediaries


We often work with your solicitor and accountant, or we can introduce you to other local professionals. Working with professional intermediaries provides you with joined up legal, tax and financial  advice.

Vulnerable
Customers


We aim to identify and assist customers and prospective customers who may be considered as living in vulnerable circumstances, by virtue of their age, disability, or other circumstances. In 2021 Lonsdale Services won the Best Adviser firm for Vulnerable Client Care at the 2021 National Professional Adviser  Awards.

The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) is an agency for arbitrating on unresolved complaints between regulated firms and their customers.
Full details of the FOS can be found on its website at www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk.
