Incredible service. Could not recommend them more. We had a non standard mortgage and it was managed amazingly by our advisor, Niamh Byrne, who was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. Would not hesitate to recommend and will always be our first choice.

Where do I start? Niamh Byrne has been exceptional. She has provided 2 mortgages for us and gone above and beyond to make sure the experience has been as stress free as possible. Absolutely wonderful. I feel she hasn't just been an advisor, she's also been a friend. Thank you Niamh

I had several pensions with different providers, FAC explained what options were best for me (with no jargon!) and consolidated them no fuss or overcharging! I would strongly recommend them.
