Been with One Wealth for just over a year now and have to say the service has been exceptional. Getting external advice, support and guidance was and continues to be invaluable.

Very much recommended. One Life have helped us to think through our financial security in different scenarios, and enabled us to invest according to our values and objectives. Very easy to work with, proactive, and helpful.

Nick is simply fantastic. He explains the complicated with great clarity and patience, especially to someone like me who finds all things financial somewhat bewildering and scary. He has managed my funds with trust, confidentiality, creativity and care and has delivered amazing results so far. I would recommend him most highly!

My first meeting with Nick was around 2 years ago just after l retired. I wish l had made contact sooner. Although I had a reasonable idea about my finances l knew l was in need of help. l found this help in Nick who went to great lengths to make my Financial situation very clear to me. Stacking my cards very neatly in a row. This helped me to make those very important decisions that are needed on retirement. I now find myself feeling very comfortable and confident about the future. Thank you Nick and of course Julia. Having you both there has made me extremely happy. Mick A little update. I have now been in Nick and Julia's caring hands for 7 years. The service they supply just gets better and better. They are simply perfect. Mick

When Nick became our financial advisor I had multiple pensions and had major concerns about our ability to achieve a financially stable retirement. Now we have been retired nearly 3 years and have no money worries to concern us. Three holidays a year, concerts, meals out are all achievable without worrying if we can afford these. Also Julia should not be forgotten who keeps the wheels turning with all the efficient work she does alongside Nick.

My wife and I consider ourselves very fortunate, I) to have found him in the first place 2) to become clients 3)to have benefitted from his financial expertise over some time now and 4) most importantly ,know we are in safe hands.

With Nick's help, we were able to create a robust financial plan. It was extremely worthwhile to have all our finances documented so that they could be tweaked and extrapolated into the future. We are very grateful to Nick for the help he has given us.

Instructing Nick to look after our finances has transformed our lives. Before doing so we were both planning to work until 67, as we felt we needed our state pensions in order to take that step. We now find ourselves comfortably able to retire 5 years earlier than we had thought would be possible, solely as a result of Nick’s investment and tax advice, and his shrewd financial planning, which has been explained with such clarity that two of the least savvy people in this field have been able to understand what was being proposed and why! Not only have the results been spectacular, but the level of service from Nick and Julia could not be bettered. Thank you both!

I had always considered myself financially astute but with retirement looming I wanted to ensure that not only did I have enough to be comfortable but also that my wife would have no worries after my demise. The most important criteria was that the financial advisor I chose was someone I could trust implicitly. Our first meeting we hardly touched upon finances moreover what I wanted out of life for not only myself and wife but also my 3 children. It’s been 6 years now and Nick has guided us so my pension and ISA’s are invested properly. I have nothing but good words for Nick and One Life Planning and have no hesitation recommending him

Engaged One Life Wealth to conduct a strategic review of our finances. They delivered precisely what we needed. Along the way, they educated us on a bunch of personal finances issues. We came away with a very clear sense of our financial goals and how to achieve them. Very pleased. Highly recommended.

I have used a number of advisers in the past, all of whom have not at all lived up to expectations. I joined One Life Wealth a number of years ago, and the advice, service and overall engagement I have received from Nick and Julia has been nothing short of exceptional. More than once have they gone much further than the extra yard to help me with some fairly complicated circumstances, and I could not be happier. Thank you both.

Following some big changes in my life, I was getting really tied up in knots regarding my financial position. I had some big decisions to make about my future and I’d been stressing for months about them. I felt like I was at a crossroads with no signs. What a difference my conversations with Nick made! I really felt he understood what I was trying to achieve and he explained his suggestions to me in a way that made perfect sense. For the first time in my entire life, I have a clear plan in front of me (which I am now working on). I highly recommend Nick Evans and only wish I’d talked to him sooner.

Nick has been our financial advisor for over six years now. Having taken early retirement, Nick's understanding and knowledge of the pension market led us to feeling secure and positive in our retirement years. We wholeheartedly agree with all the previous testimonials, and would add that having moved to a different part of the country, we have chosen to continue using Nick as he provides an outstanding service. We happily make the journey back for our face to face reviews.

Nick has been our financial advisor for five years and he offers an outstanding service. He is very professional, yet personable, and is easy to talk to. At our first meeting, he listened carefully to our situation and was able to fully explain (in language we could understand) the various options available to us. Nick’s advice is invaluable, and we feel much better knowing that our financial future is secure.

I have been using the services of Nick Evans (One Life) for several years now and find him an excellent Financial Adviser, he cuts through the gobbledygook and gives you the facts in a plain, easy to understand format. He is an extremely personable character that makes you feel fully at ease and his pensions & tax advice has been invaluable as my retirement age looms. To sum up, a first class professional that you feel you can trust and comes highly recommended. P.S. Nice coffee & biscuits as well.

We chose Nick as our financial adviser about four years ago, based on his very positive reviews, and he has fully justified this leap of faith. To begin with, he conducted a detailed review of our situation, assessed its strengths and weaknesses, and made recommendations for how we should proceed regarding pensions and retirement, savings and investments. What we really like about Nick is his clear explanations. He responds very quickly to any enquiry, is a great listener, is cheerful, knowledgeable and professional, and deals with issues that arise in a comprehensive and forensic manner. Annual reviews are fun(!) – going through various what-if scenarios, analysing pie charts and forecasts – and we would wholeheartedly recommend One Life Wealth Planning to anyone seeking an IFA.

Nick has been helping me with my finances for about 5 years now. He is really good at explaining scenarios , savings and opportunities relevant to my situation. For issues like pensions, investments and Inheritance tax, I feel very out of my depth but Nick patiently sits with me to outline possible options. By reading the small print he has enabled me to take a pension earlier than I had expected with no penalties incurred. The software he uses is excellent in setting out various scenarios with respect to my finances. The visual charts can be adjusted for each potential situation and helps immensely to show what the outcomes may be (especially for me as a visual learner). I highly recommend him as a financial adviser.

I've been advised by One Life for about five years now. And wish I had been earlier. They have given me invaluable advice on pension optimisation, ensuring my investments achieve what I want them to, making the most of tax allowances and strategies and more. They even secured a refund from me from a provider, having identified they weren't delviering what they promised! I'd definitely recommend them.

It was in 2013 as I was approaching retirement age that I decided it was time to reassess my financial position. Up to this point I had an investment, which I had seen nearly halve in value and I had 2 private pensions, that I thought should maybe be consolidated and re-investigated as I was paying a lot of my salary into these. I decided to seek an independent financial adviser as I did not want to be tied into just one Bank/Supplier that would obviously put me into their exclusive funds, pensions. I also hated the way that every year I got a new Financial Adviser that I never met. I was recommended to Nick Evans who is totally independent and not tied into any one product. He listened to my requirements and I was immediately impressed by how knowledgeable and professional Nick is - and he continues to keep up to date by going on courses and taking exams to better himself. Using Nick's extensive knowledge and some great software he has invested in, which shows one's position into the future with what-if scenarios, we planned what my path should be. I have now been retired for 5 years and have all my financial information on one platform, which is easily accessible. I have no worries and enjoy spending my money on holidays and the family. It is great to leave all the paperwork to One Life so I do not have to worry and spend ages trying to understand it! My husband and I meet with Nick yearly but we can contact him at any time. He is excellent at listening to us and together we check our position and make plans for the future which involve looking after our children and grandchildren as well as ourselves. He makes very sensible recommendations that we can either follow or not. I would strongly recommend Nick Evans who is very professional and dedicated.

When it’s done properly, financial planning isn’t about money. It’s not about which fund to invest in or which product to buy. It’s about understanding what you need from your wealth, and how you should use it to find freedom and security.
For most of us, assuming we live the lives we want to, two paths lie ahead. Either our money outlasts us (which allows us to pass on a legacy to our loved ones), or we outlast our money. Great financial planning takes away the uncertainty.
