Outstanding Service

We have been working with Blevins for a number of years as our Financial Advisors in France, due to our retirement here. We have always found them to be professional, accurate and informative in their both their advice and communication. Many thanks to Stuart and Aaran, who are our local team in the Alps, for all their hard work and for being there to support our transition to the French system and to ensure our investments are working hard for us.

Aaran Loftus

Aaran Loftus is intelligent, articulate and personable. He always has time for us. We trust him fully. The best we have dealt with in our relationship of 9 years (so far) with Blevins Franks. His only fault is his innate modesty.

Superb customer service from Alejandro in Santa Ponca

We have been with Blevins Franks for 5 years now. Our financial manager is Alejandro in Santa Ponca. I have to say his customer service is second to none. He is always very prepared for our meetings and he listens and understands our needs. He spends as much time as we need with him and always explains things to us thoroughly and never rushes us. I would definitely recommend Alejandro

Strongly recommend Blevins Franks (Javea office)

We have used Blevins Franks (Javea office) for most of the 17 years we have lived in beautiful Dénia nearby.
We have been serviced by several advisers during our time with Blevins but beyond doubt since having the support of Cara Follows the service and quality of advice we have received has gone up to another level.
Cara is easily available to us and apart from guiding us through the complex investment world has provided us with some excellent taxation advice, saving us considerable Euros!

Blevins helped us prepare for our move to France and advised us after our arrival. Our advisor David Lamont was very thorough, listened carefully to our needs and we would thoroughly recommend him and Blevins. We would especially recommend early engagement, well before moving, to avoid costly mistakes.

26 years of sound advice.

I have been a client of BF for 26 years and have had dealings with many partners and client managers during that time. I have found their advice and recommendations to be first rate and invaluable. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. My wife and I have review meetings at least once a year and my client manager is always available for any ad hoc advice and assistance. It is important to take advice from experts in the country that you are relocating to, rather than those in the country where you are locating from.

Client Support Above and Beyond

Anyone who has had to deal with the loss of a spouse, understands what a difficult time it can be. This is how my relationship with Blevin’s has come about. My husband was a client to start with. From the very start, all my needs have been totally understood, and dealt with in a very compassionate way. My financial situation has been totally evaluated, and reviewed, to give me a tremendous plan moving forwards and in much better way than I had ever anticipated or thought of. Everything has been explained in a very easy to understand manner, never rushed, no pressure and always up for discussion if necessary. It has been great to see things through another pair of eyes, and put things into position that I would never have been able to see or do. At the start of my journey it was like entering a dark tunnel and wondering how do I achieve this. I am now emerging from that with a great feeling of moving forwards in a very positive way financially and appreciate the help and guidance that I have received, and will have continued support. Nothing has ever been too much trouble and Client - Customer relationship has to be 10/10.

Great support from Dan Henderson, Blevins Franks

I've worked with financial services professionals for most of my career but have been extremely impressed by Blevins Franks experience generally and in particular Dan Henderson. Dan has an exceptional knowledge of the UK and Portuguese financial and investment world and, as a result, is an excellent person to seek advice from for every person moving from the UK or indeed moving back to the UK after a period of residence in Portugal. I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending Dan specifically and Blevins Franks in general.

Clear, honest and personal advice.

We were looking for clear advice on taking up Cyprus residency and it's tax advantages. Nick Cairns gave his time freely and made no attempt to sell us their services before examining whether Cyprus was right for us. He clearly explained that the Cyprus end is easier than getting out of HMRC - very expert, honest and genuine advice. we were most grateful.

After over 20 years with Blevins Franks…

After over 20 years with Blevins Franks we needed advice on restructuring our finances. Our advisor Dan was very sympathetic to our concerns regarding our age and possible move to the UK. He helped us arrive at a very satisfactory conclusion which has set our minds at rest. His follow-up notes were prompt and further queries answered immediately. In conclusion we would recommend both Dan and Blevins Franks to anyone requiring sound and personalized financial advice.
