As you start out in adult life, accessing reliable financial advice can be frustrating. With many young adults finding financial planning daunting or overwhelming, it’s time to change perceptions.

Property

Getting onto the property ladder is not easy. But, by taking control of your finances, you can make it possible.

Finding and securing the right mortgage takes planning and forethought – which financial planning can help with. Understanding your finances is the first step toward owning your own home.

Children

Understandably, your children are one of your main financial concerns. These worries fall into two categories:

  • Short-term: School supplies, clothing, food, pocket money, toys, electronics, etc
  • Long-term: Events to save toward, including education and holidays

It can be easy to focus on the immediate costs and hope that the long-term expenses fall into place. However, by planning your finances, you can afford the things you and your family need now, while ensuring that the future is taken care of.

Looking to the future

You have so many big life moments ahead of you. However you envision your future right now, planning is essential to making sure that everything is taken care of financially.

Getting married, having children, making big purchases, moving to a new house and retirement are just a few of the life moment taken into consideration when planning your future.

Financial planning in early adulthood means that you can afford to live well in the moment, while ensuring that you are prepared for life’s big moments when they happen.

Safety nets

Making sure that you have protection in place, should a financial shock hit you and your family, is vital. Having a buffer in place in case of an unexpected expense means that you will be able to handle those events without depriving yourself in the short term.

Please remember:

The value of pension and investments and the income they produce can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate Tax Planning.

Your financial plan should include the building and maintenance of an emergency fund, which you can fall back on if you lose your income, or need to replace an appliance in your home.

Great financial planning also includes protective policies, including:

  • Critical Illness Cover
  • Income protection
  • Life Insurance

These plans provide you and your family with peace-of-mind in the event of  illness, accident or death.

Planning for retirement

It may feel like retirement is a long way away right now… But, the earlier you begin to plan and put money away for later life, the more comfortable you will be when the time comes. No matter whether it is short-term, or long-term, feeling confident about your future wellbeing is important.

Case study

What do our clients have to say?

“We approached Keith after being unhappy with the impersonal treatment we were receiving from our previous mortgage advisers.

Keith has been a breath of fresh air and takes genuine pleasure from helping us make the right choices to suit our life. As well as being highly knowledgeable in his field he is very flexible, and on hand to contact with questions and worries.

Keith’s personal approach has made us feel listened to, valued and assured we have made the right choices to suit our needs. We have come to Keith twice for both our house sales/purchases and wouldn’t go with anyone else.”

When I retired in May 2015, I approached Keith for guidance on pension planning as I had 5 pension policies that required to be merged into one pot. Keith gave good, clear and sensible advice in a professional and friendly manner; this was just what I needed to ensure that I had my future and that of my family safeguarded. Tom Dalkeith
An acquisition of capital through inheritance created a need for professional investment advice and management. After creating a suitable plan to suit my desired aspirations and risk level, over the past 18 years, Keith has constantly monitored the portfolio to my entire satisfaction, achieving the programme’s aims. Such conscientiousness and integrity have enabled me to recommend him to others who have been similarly satisfied. Mary Edinburgh
My wife and I were looking to arrange finance for a project. We wanted to know if it was possible to raise finance in the UK to buy a property in Spain. After hours of searching online, we settled on arranging a meeting with Keith. He was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Keith was able to recommend not only product which exceeded our budget expectations, but he was also able to put us in touch with a lawyer who could help to make it all happen. We now have our dream home in the sun thanks to Keith, and we have continued to rely on him ever since. Kenny Telfer BSc (Hons) MRICS
Keith has provided his services to me since I retired some years ago. I have much appreciated his knowledge and interpretation of what can sometimes be bewildering financial matters. In particular, his meticulous preparation and delivery of information in a clear and concise manner has been of great benefit in our deliberations. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services. Jim Pettigrew
Reaching the age of 55, I needed help to sort out my pension; I contacted Keith through Unbiased.co.uk for financial advice. Keith then came to see me and guided me in detail about my future, finances, savings, etc. I found Keith very informative. I had pensions in multiple pots, and he explained the best options for me. His knowledge and expertise guided me to make the correct decisions for my future. He dealt with everything with ease. Personally, I could not have done this process without him. He has helped me reduce my debt, increase my savings and I look forward to working with him to reduce my mortgage. Yvonne Scott
We approached Keith because we discovered that our investments were no longer being handled in the way we expected, we had various pensions too and a couple of frozen ones. Keith came up with a plan that suited us both and gave us a bit of cash to spend. His approach was both friendly and professional and took place at our home at a time that was convenient for us, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his professional advice and services. Graeme & Laura Ferguson
