About Blackdown Financial
Blackdown Financial is an independent financial advice firm based in central Taunton. The firm says it can trace its roots back to the late 1970s, when it started as a family-owned business in the Blackdown Hills. It describes itself as having four advisers supported by a dedicated support team, and says it aims to offer personal, one-to-one advice rather than the approach of a large, impersonal institution.
The firm presents its work as whole-of-market and impartial. Its main services, as described on the website, include financial planning, which it frames as helping clients meet their goals and maintain their lifestyle with confidence in their finances. It also offers independent advice on pensions and investments, and mortgage advice designed to take as much stress out of the process as possible. The firm mentions life assurance and reviews of existing products, such as pensions, investments and mortgages, and says it generally treats existing products as suitable unless it can show otherwise.
Testimonials on the site, which the firm shares as client feedback, praise its advisers for explaining complex financial matters in plain language. Clients describe support with buy-to-let purchases, managing an inheritance, planning an early retirement and buying a first home. The site also mentions that one of its advisers was nominated for a Somerset Future 30 Award, and it publishes articles and a newsletter on financial and property topics.
The firm says it offers a no-cost, no-obligation meeting at its Taunton office, and visitors can request a call back through the website. Simon Cutler is named as one of the advisers.
