Financial adviser in Mottram St Andrew

I'm Max Gallagher (DipPFS, CeMAP), a financial adviser with Financial Options Group, an Appointed Representative of Quilter, and I look after clients in Mottram St Andrew and the lanes around it. It is a small Cheshire village, better known for Mottram Hall than for any high street, tucked between Prestbury, Alderley Edge and Wilmslow. People who put down roots in a village this small usually chose it deliberately, and their finances often have real weight behind them: pensions built over long careers, a business run or sold, a home that is a serious asset in itself.

There is no high street in Mottram St Andrew to put an office on, so I bring the meeting to you, at home or somewhere convenient towards Wilmslow or Prestbury, and plenty of clients prefer Teams or a phone call in any case. The first conversation is free and carries no obligation; we simply map out what you have, what you want it to do, and whether I can genuinely add value. If you would like to go ahead after that, I put a clear written recommendation together and we take it from there.

Who I help in Mottram St Andrew

  • Detached homes in and around Mottram St Andrew often hold the kind of value that can draw an estate into inheritance tax, and planning early leaves you with far more options than leaving it to the executors.
  • The village is home to directors, business owners and senior professionals who work in Manchester or fly out of the airport nearby, and their pensions, share schemes and protection needs rarely fit a standard template.
  • School fees for the independents around Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and Macclesfield sit in many Mottram St Andrew household budgets, and saving towards them deserves a proper plan rather than an afterthought.
  • Some people mark retirement by settling near Mottram Hall's golf course and the quiet of the Prestbury road, then discover their pensions are scattered across half a dozen old employers; tidying that up is a job I do often.

Many people arrive in Mottram St Andrew in the later stretch of a career, with pensions scattered across old employers in Manchester and beyond, and working out what those pots could realistically support in retirement is often the first piece of work we do together.

Buying in Mottram St Andrew usually means borrowing at the larger end of the market, where lenders apply their criteria more strictly, and as a CeMAP-qualified adviser I can recommend a suitable lender and manage the application through to completion.

Your first conversation is free, with no obligation to proceed.
