What our clients say

Thank you for your latest "Informed" newsletter. I particularly liked the article about Donald Trump as I was not aware of his revolutionary changes to the US tax system. Also it is very readable, unlike some of the publications from leading investment companies that often seem to be written in gobbledygook.

Tony Howard, Suffolk

Thanks Leigh, as always a very helpful and comprehensive response to my queries. We really appreciate the highly professional yet friendly service that Clayden Financial provides.

Graham Reid, Suffolk

We would not hesitate to recommend Karen Last to anyone requiring impartial, expert advice about equity release.
