Has anyone used the vouched for.co.uk . The one near me offers a free 1 hour consultation on pensions. Just wondering if they add their fee on after consultation. And if it is worth using.

    both recognised websites for finding a local IFA.

    they will almost certainly not charge for an initial meeting, but better off calling and asking them to be sure.

    Definitely worth phoning to discuss first before making an appointment - I have phoned 3 local IFAs in the past three months or so ...and the nett result is that NONE of them really want to deal with my small DC pensions (totalling ~ £57k).
    Two have said that it would not be sensible for me to deal with them due to their fee structure whilst a thid wouldn't deal with the pensions in isolation -he wanted to include all my other investments in the process.
