What our clients say
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed some advice about moving my pensions and after reading about scams and things finally found Sonia through the pensions advisory service. She went through all the options available and after what seemed like an age (pension companies fault not Sonia's) everything got moved and sorted. Being a cautious investor, Sonia took this into account when choosing the investments for me. Would highly recommend.Posted on Google Keith HobleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Phil was very knowledgeable, he gave me very informed advice but was never pushy, i would have given him a perfect review if he wasn't a villa fanPosted on Google Michael MclynnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quite simply put, for us, Mercia Financial Planning, Sutton Coldfield stood out from all the other Financial Advice Companies we had trawled through - their ethos reflected a professional, genuine and person centred approach echoed through the 5 star and very relatable reviews. From our initial (free) and subsequent meetings with Sonia Foxall we knew we had made the absolute right decision. Sonia made us feel at ease whilst remaining professional, equally being genuinely interested in our financial goals and plans for the future. It’s a minefield for us but Sonia guides you through, not only with her lovely personality ( believe me I think this is key also) but also by ensuring you always understand and equally feel in control. It has been one of the best decisions we have ever made and I would highly recommend them - in fact I already have! If you’re looking for financial advice which is genuinely interested in you and one which will always give sound advice and options tailored to your desired outcomes - then please hesitate no longer!Posted on Google Linda KerryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Sonia for some pension advice last year. In conversations we had, she talked to me with language I understood. She went through all the options available for the pensions in question and hopefully these investments will serve me well. I am a cautious investor and Sonia took this into account when choosing the investments for me. Would recommend.Posted on Google Gill WarnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sonia understood our requirements and walked us through the process explaining all our options very clearly. The execution was quick and trouble free with excellent support from the back office. Highly recommended.Posted on Google Samantha WoottonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sonia, from Mercia Financial Planning, became my independent financial adviser back in October 2018. I needed to make some extremely important decisions on my pension funds to ensure I got the maximum benefit from them in the long term. Having spoken with someone professionally prior to Sonia I was really none the wiser! Sonia took the time to understand my requirements fully, the complexity of my existing funds, and took the time to explain it all fully. She was able to sense when I didn’t fully understand something and would ensure I did before she left or finished the call. Having agreed the actions for my pension she has then been able to assist with arranging the appropriate funding options for a new property that I have decided to buy. My personal circumstances have changed slightly but Sonia has continued to be at hand all the way to ensure my financial requirements are all met. I can’t recommend her highly enough, and indeed already know other people that have since chosen to make use of her expertise.Posted on Google Roger STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sonia has helped several family members and friends with their financial affairs and has recently been of invaluable help in sorting out my deferred pensions. One of these was straightforward but the other was more complicated and we were up against a deadline set by the employer. Sonia followed up on progress weekly to start with and then daily and the transfer has just gone through! Sonia found a scheme to transfer my funds to which suits my needs perfectly. She is extremely thorough and goes the extra mile to help her clients. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Stella MunroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sonia assisted me with securing a mortgage for the purchase of my first home. As a financial adviser, Sonia is right on the ball and she provided a truly exceptional service from start to finish. I recommend her highly.Posted on Google Emily GeorgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I have just completed on our house move and found Sonia's support a great help. The mortgage, insurance and solicitor advice was second to none. We always found Sonia affable and easy to reach. What can be a very stressful time was made all the more easier by Sonia's knowledge and contact base. I can't recommended her highly enough and would urge anyone needing the same advice to contact her now!Posted on Google Jim BaldassarraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a first time buyer and Sonia was recommended to me by our family financial advisor as an expert in all things mortgages. From the very first time I spoke with Sonia and throughout the process, she was knowledgeable, proactive and really cared about my situation. Sonia found me an excellent mortgage offer and supported me in dealing with both my solicitor and estate agent. Even after my property offer was accepted and Sonia's work was effectively done, she continued to check in and make sure things were progressing well. I cannot thank Sonia enough for her support during what was quite a daunting few months as a first time buyer and can't recommend her highly enough - thank you!Posted on Google Kate Hale
