What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Financial advice for mortgage arrangements and pension matters is the work described by clients of this Aberdeen practice, and feedback splits along sharply different lines. Derek Duff is named warmly, described as efficient, quick and pleasant, while a long-standing client reports returning three times to arrange a mortgage after two separate sets of friends passed on the firm's details.

A theme running through the feedback is the personal attention given across a transaction, with customers saying they felt looked after and properly advised from start to finish. Against that, more than one review highlights how matters progressed when difficulties arose. One account describes a transaction completing roughly six months later than the date originally agreed, with attempts to make contact met by the adviser being unavailable.

Another reports asking for pension help at age 55, only for contact to stop after an initial meeting and the signing of commission arrangements, with requests for updates going unanswered for a year. A switch to a different adviser produced a result within a few weeks. The mixed feedback suggests outcomes depend heavily on which adviser handles the case and on how responsive the underlying provider proves, with pension and transaction work appearing less consistent than the mortgage side of the business.

when i turned 55 i asked Albyn associates to help with my pensions, after one meeting and signed for their commissions that was the end of response's. I was told my pension company were a nightmare to deal with. I asked for updates via email and was told they were still waiting on a response. after one year I didn't even get an email response. I changed advisors and had my money in the bank in 6 weeks. I have just sold a second house I had and have £100,000 to invest, it wont be going to Albyn associates

We were recommended Gary and Albyn Associates from 2 seperate sets of friends a couple of years ago. We have since used Albyn Associates to help organise our mortgage 3 times and will continue to do so in the future. My wife and I have been very happy with the service provided and I happily recommend the services that Albyn Associates Financial Management LLP provide.

Derek Duff is efficient and quick at his job and is a very nice individual. We have always had a good experience with him.

Absolutely shambolic, came to an agreed upon date for the transaction and was off by 6 months. When trying to contact the "financial advisor" and asked to come down to see him he "had to leave urgently" and i was greeted with what seemed like a well rehearsed show of "hes not here and there are is no one in the building who can help" (the best thing about the whole service was the actresses performance) this was before i could even say the name of the "financial advisor" i intended to speak to.
