Pension Review & Retirement Planning in Honor Oak

If you live in Honor Oak, Forest Hill or Brockley and have built up several pensions over the years, you may not have a clear picture of what they’re worth or how they’re invested. We help you take stock and arrange introductions to regulated pension specialists for a detailed review.

Why Review Your Pensions Now?

• Multiple employers: Pots scattered between old workplace schemes.
• Family responsibilities: You want to check future income for you and your family.
• Closer to retirement: You’re starting to think about when and how you’ll start using your pensions.
• Changing priorities: Different views on risk, work patterns or relocation plans.

What a Review Might Look At

• Values and projections for each plan.
• Investment risk and whether it still fits your comfort level.
• Fees and charges you may not realise you’re paying.
• If consolidation could help simplify management (or if it may be best to keep things separate).
• Options at retirement such as drawdown, annuities and tax-free cash.

Our Role

We are not authorised to recommend specific pension products. Instead, we:

• Discuss your overall position and goals.
• Introduce you to an FCA-authorised pension adviser who can analyse your pensions in detail.
• Help you consider how pension planning sits alongside your mortgage, property and wider financial plans.

Typical Steps

1. Initial chat: Outline your existing pensions and retirement aims.
2. Information gathering: The adviser obtains data and valuations from your providers.
3. Analysis: They review risk, performance and charges.
4. Advice: If appropriate, they may recommend changes, consolidation or no change.
5. Implementation: Any agreed steps are carried out and reviewed over time.

Risks & Important Notes

• Pension investments can go down as well as up.
• Transferring pensions can mean losing valuable guarantees or benefits.
• Any decision to transfer a defined benefit / final salary scheme requires specialist regulated advice.
