I had a whole bundle of pensions coming due. Like everyone else, I had been exposed to articles and advertisements saying that dealing with pensions was a minefield. I looked at a number of annuity specialist websites and spoke with three. What I wanted was a firm that could explain the issues to me; that could understand my situation; that could help me come to a sensible decision, which could get me the best deal, and which could take the process off my hands, safely. l eventually chose to Retirement Solutions. Why? Their website was clear and lucid, and the people to whom I spoke were very straightforward and good at explaining. From then on, I was really happy with this choice. First, Wendy and Zoe were excellent communicators: they are really quick to respond to phone calls and emails Second, they made the options open to me very clear Third, once my wife and I had made our decisions, they got me really good deals and told me what the weaker alternatives were. Fourth, when one or two of my old pension providers were slow at responding, Zoe harried them and harried them until they paid up. It has been brilliant service. They do seem to take a real pride in doing what they do really well. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.

Thank you Hayleigh Bell for facilitating the lump sum payment and the start of my pension despite the hurdles encountered with the transfer of funds to my chosen pension provider. Without your persistent and professional approach, this process would have been much more stressful.

Robert Dexter at Retirement Solutions Ltd provided a very helpful, courteous service. He was extremely patient and helped me improve my annuity as I have several health issues. Hayleigh finalised the annuity payout and kept me fully informed and up to date at every stage. I would certainly recommend this firm to anyone looking to achieve the best rates for their annuity.

Retirement as they say is the longest holiday of your life, well that may be true but you need to know you have enough money to make it last. This means shopping around and buying your pension from the provider that gives you the most income. Doing it yourself is impossible, some of the providers will not give you a quote they say you need to speak with an adviser. I did speak to an adviser and I am so glad I did because I got over 20% more income by shopping around and using annuitysupermarket.com

Filled in a form on this website to see if my friend could get a higher annuity offer. Shortly afterwards we got called up and went through all their details to see if they could find a better rate. Turns out that if you have any health problems you can get a better offer, didn't know this. The girl we spoke to was polite, professional and very knowledgeable about annuity pensions which was good as we didn't really understand the ins and outs of it all!

You spend years saving for a pension, and when its time to cash in, its a mine field. I eventually contacted Retirement Solutions ( UK ) Limited, and spoke to John about my choises. Due to my ill health he told me about the enhanced annuities available, and i decided to proceed along with the recommendations John gave me. John sent me the forms that i had to complete. John then carried out the whole arrangement of finding the best deals available for me, and between John & Hayleigh i was kept informed of the results. The pension annuities were completed on time with no hassle, in a prompt and professional manner.I would fully recommend Retirement Solutions ( UK ) Limited to anyone nearing retirement.

I can say that annuitysupermarket.com and the advisory team were extremely helpful when helping me buy my annuity.

Today it is so nice to find excellent communication from a company when you buy something from them. Annuity Supermarket did just that, they helped me buy my annuity using the open market option. Not only was it easy to do they kept me informed every step of the way.

Our dedicated annuity specialist Rob helped us through the annuity purchase and made it extremely easy. The admin team rang us almost daily to let us know how things were progressing. This kind of customer service is hard to find these days but Annuity Supermarket certainly got it right in our case.

I don’t normally spend time shopping around as I always find it is more hassle than it is worth. But knowing annuity rates are at an all time low alarmed me and therefore I thought I ought to give it a go. When I came across annuity supermarket they told me they would do all the shopping around for me, which to my astonishment they did and they got me an extra 17% over what my pension provider were giving me. Well done Annuity Supermarket.

(Name removed) was very helpful and provided a full range of quotes to help me choose the best retirement product, and I feel that I got excellent service. The girls in admin were also very helpful and kept me informed all the way through the process. If ever I rang someone always got back to me promptly.
