We can’t recommend Sean highly enough. He has helped us with both re-mortgage and pension advice, and his guidance throughout was clear, thorough, and extremely helpful. Sean takes the time to understand your individual circumstances and explains everything in a way that makes sense — no jargon, just solid, well-informed advice.
Now that he’s started his own business, we’re confident he’ll go from strength to strength. We’re grateful for his support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for your financial advice requirements. We moved from Rutland to Yorkshire two years ago and communication remains as excellent as ever with regular Zoom calls.

Sean and his team have been looking after my financial affairs since I retired and I could not praise them enough. A great friendly team with all the expertise to make sure my money has been well invested and continues to grow. Sean provides a complete package and even found me an excellent mortgage deal. Sean was also willing to give my daughter advice which helped to establish her and her husband on the property ladder.

All round great advice and service and even the coffee is good.

Swapped from a previous advisor to Natasha and so glad we did!
My partner and I found the process of securing a mortgage extremely stressful with our previous advisor so we decided to seek help elsewhere. Natasha at Connolly Financial Planning made our remortgage an absolute breeze. She was always on hand and kept us informed every step of the way. We felt so relaxed through the whole process and trusted Natasha completely.
After such a fantastic experience working with Natasha on our remortgage we then went ahead and looked at life insurance and critical illness cover with her. This was not an easy process due to my medical history but Natasha worked tirelessly and went above and beyond to secure my cover.
We cannot thank Natasha enough for her hard work and her dedication to her clients. There is no one my partner and I would trust more.

Sean set up my pension, as I’m self employed I never had one. Sean is very knowledgeable and made the process quick. And very easy to understand.
Thank you

Tash was great sorting out my daughter’s mortgage as a first time buyer. She always had time for us and our many questions and dealt with us efficiently and in a caring way. Nothing was too much trouble.

Sean was great sorting out our new mortgage, he took his time and talked us through all the various options as we had 2 mortgages expiring at different times. He managed to secure us a really competitive interest rate and was on hand to answer our questions when our new mortgage began. Sean also managed to get us life/critical illness cover, the cover was better than what we already had in place and was less money. We would 100% recommend Sean, he offers the best service and really strives to do the best for you whilst being honest with his advice.
