People approaching retirement can get a fully regulated retirement advice report from LV= for just £199.00, with personal recommendations on specific products they could purchase with their retirement savings. For an additional fee of £499.00, LV= will make the arrangements to set up a retirement plan.

Tony Durant, Managing Director of Berkeley Burke:
“Professional advice is often seen as an unnecessary expense, but it has never been as vitally important to everyone as it is now. Berkeley Burke is delighted to be able to help people to make the appropriate decisions, for an affordable cost.”

John Perks, Managing Director of Retirement Solutions at LV=:
“Too few people get the advice they need at the point of retirement, with many people being put off by cost.

The combination of Berkeley Burke and LV= will enable more people to access convenient, affordable advice through our Corporate Solutions service. It’s vital we make regulated retirement advice more accessible, particularly for those with smaller pension pots.”
