Your journey
The first step is to find out how your journey might look!
We’ll discuss your financial objectives and goals, uncovering your priorities and timelines for achieving them. Where we are considering your investment needs, we’ll discuss your attitude and experience of investing, as well as the level of risk you can afford to take.
Armed with the information we have from the ‘discover’ stage, we will create a plan which aims to achieve your financial goals.
We’ll investigate which products will be most suitable for your needs. At this point, we will agree on the initial and ongoing fees required to deliver your plan.
We recommend and implement your strategy after explaining it to you.
We will assist in the completion of any relevant paperwork, ensuring the documentation is processed as quickly and efficiently as possible.
We build long-lasting trusted business relationships with all of our clients.
Whilst optional, we recommend that you continue to work with us to review your investment and pension planning on a regular basis, to ensure that they match your changing goals and objectives.
My wife and I have used the services of Mark for many years. We have always found him to be completely honest and trustworthy and he has guided us professionally with any requests that we have made. His advice is always thorough and he has helped us to make sound investments and plan for our retirement. We would definitely recommend Mark.
Mark’s advice to us as first-time buyers was invaluable. He was friendly, professional, always contactable and extremely efficient, providing advice about suitable mortgages, solicitor recommendations and life insurance policies. Would highly recommend!

What could Mark have done better? Can’t think of anything. What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser? When I left a corporate company and needed to organise a private pension. How has Mark helped you? In every aspect of my private pension and savings. Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for? Yes absolutely. I would have made some bad choices without Mark’s advice

Rating & Summary: Overall 5* Advice 5* Service 5* Value 5* What could they have done better? We have been very satisfied with Mark & Templegate Financial Planning's advice so far and thus from our knowledge we cannot really point to any suggestions or improvements What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser? Originally we took the opportunity of using Mark sometime ago to re-mortgage and invest some money which worked very well so later on when looking at forthcoming pensions and retirement in general Mark was a natural choice. How has Mark Bastable helped you? Mark has advised us on several Pensions and also our financial position for some time now and will do for the foreseeable future in trying to achieve the best balance for our retirement planning Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for? Mark had evaluated our positions and future aspirations before coming back with advice that should improve further on earlier investments going forward which is something very reassuring.
I highly recommend Mark Bastable. After a detailed Financial Review, he patiently explained my pension options and advised me on tax and inheritance implications. All my emails were promptly addressed, and his responses were clear and easy to understand.
