Group SIPP Case Study

The group Sipps option has been hailed as the next big thing in the pension market.


As a busy HR department it is important that our suppliers understand us and since being introduced to Hoyland Financial Management over three years ago, we have found they do. They show great awareness of our needs particularly in relation to our requirements to promote the pension scheme effectively to staff and offer a friendly and comprehensive service. Lynda Thomas: HR Manager

Major Airline,

Gary Words, as you may have gathered are not my strong point, so Ill keep it simple. THANK YOU! (Judi needed an offer in 10 days or was going to have to move in to a hotel as they had already set a completion date for her sale.)

Judi Carter MSAI - architectural illustrator,


A big thank you for all your help. You do not realise just how thankful people like me are who live abroad to have someone like you & David looking after things for us. You are both great & believe you me when you are running a business out here you really do appreciate the good service.

Wendy Austin,


Thank you Gary, for all your resourcefulness and tirelessness in securing our mortgage. A pleasure and painless as always. Thanks again!

Gary Festa (and Lisa Smith) at Hoyland Financial were instrumental in helping me to achieve a smooth property conveyance in the summer of 2005, including navigating around a difficult open bridge scenario, and handling almost £3M of borrowings. My situation was somewhat complex from the outset, since I needed to make an offer/exchange contracts on a purchase, before having received an offer/exchanged contracts on my sale. The purchase property was totally unique, in that it was my wifes family home for the past 3 generations (and had been sold by her family 5 years ago) so couldnt be missed. However, it required making a fully financed offer in excess of £1.6M. Meanwhile, my existing property had mortgage debts of over £1M. The Hoyland team was able to navigate through the notoriously difficult open bridge process, dealing with my solicitors and more than one lender, and helped produce an excellent end result. There may have been an element of luck also, given the ultimately quick sale of our existing house. But at the time of initial exchange, the stakes were high, and Gary and his team advised quickly and correctly, and executed the financing plan (and much other useful tactical advice) in a highly professional manner. Thank you for a job well done. Regards, Emmanuel

I would like to thank you and Lisa very much indeed for all your help and advice over the past couple of months. The re-mortgage has significantly reduced my monthly outgoings and ensured that we will be able to stay in our present home at least until the children leave school. I will definitely be recommending your services to anyone I know seeking financial advice.
