As has been mentioned previously the website offers a 'what's it worth?' but in reality it's a service to promote certain financial advisors.

Very efficient but not what was advertised (or at least not as I read it).

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your feedback and we’re sorry the service didn’t match what you expected from our website.

What a pension is worth in retirement can vary depending on individual circumstances, which is why our service connects customers with financial advisers who can look at their options based on their personal situation. We explain how the process works on our website, including that an adviser will contact you to discuss your circumstances. However, we appreciate you letting us know how it came across to you, and we’ll pass your comments on to our team.

It’s good to hear the process felt efficient. If you have any further questions, or would like us to remove your details, please contact us at enquiries@comparepensionannuity.co.uk and we’ll be happy to help.

Kind regards,
The Compare Pension Annuity Team

The experience was satisfactory but was not fully transparent.

The experience was satisfactory but there was a lack of explanation as to the end goal! My initial enquiry via Aviva was to find out the best rates offered by Annuity providers not to instigate a full blown review of my finances and pensions. It is the case one thing led to another. For now I am happy to consider a free consultation with a wealth manager but greater explanation should be given from the outset.

Hi Rory,

Thank you for taking the time to share this and we’re sorry the purpose of the process wasn’t clearer from the start.

Our role is to connect people with a financial adviser and any consultation that follows is entirely your choice. We appreciate you pointing out that more explanation upfront would have helped and we’ll make sure your feedback is passed on to our team. It’s good to hear the experience was satisfactory overall.

Best wishes,

Dishonest and misleading!

Entered my details into the website, which promised 'Search every annuity provider for FREE with no obligation'. I was expecting a list of annuity rates, in the same way as you would get with any other comparison website. At no time prior to entering my details does it explain that you will not get any information automatically and instead will be contacted in person by a pension adviser. If I wanted an appointment with a pension adviser, I would have made one myself! This is totally dishonest and misleading!

Good afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the service wasn't what you expected and we understand your frustration at expecting to see annuity rates online.

Annuity rates can vary depending on individual circumstances, which is why our service connects customers with financial advisers who can obtain and compare quotes based on their personal situation. We explain how the process works on our website, including that an adviser will contact you to discuss your circumstances and help you compare annuity options. However, we appreciate your feedback and understand that you were expecting to see this information directly online.

If you'd like us to remove your details completely, or have any further questions, please contact us at enquiries@comparepensionannuity.co.uk or privacy@lead-tech.co.uk and we'll be happy to help.

Kind regards,
