Frequently asked questions
What does Foster Denovo do?
Foster Denovo advises more than 6,000 clients on many aspects of their financial lives. From investment and pensions to mortgage-broking, trust-advice and inheritance tax, our Partners can provide a holistic, all-round approach. We operate from 13 offices across the UK and have been building strong, long-lasting professional relationships with our clients and their families for more than 20 years.
Who owns Foster Denovo?
Foster Denovo is majority owned by its Partners and staff. While our investment backer has a 20 per cent stake, 80 per cent is owned by the company’s founding leadership and employees. We believe that investing in our people enables them to deliver exceptional service to our clients.
What else does Foster Denovo do?
As well as advising individuals and their families, our corporate consulting arm, Secondsight, advises major UK companies and global brands on a wide range of employee benefits offerings and services. This could be support with their pensions along with other health and protection benefits, like private medical insurance and life assurance. Our Partners also focus on financial wellbeing to help employees make the most of what their employer can do for them.
How do I know Foster Denovo will give me great service?
We pride ourselves on giving our clients great service and the feedback they give us demonstrates that we do so. We use a Net Promoter Score (NPS) to assess this. NPS is a globally recognised, objective measurement of how clients value the service they are given. It’s based on the response to the question of: how likely are you to recommend our service to friends and contacts? A score of more than 50 per cent is considered excellent so we’re delighted that we consistently score more than 80 when we ask clients to judge what we do for them.
What are the benefits of financial advice?
People who have taken financial advice tend to benefit from better outcomes. Currently, only nine per cent of people in the UK pay for this advice and the value of doing so is generally accepted in what is an increasingly complex market. We offer a free half-hour consultation with our Partners to help you on your financial journey.
How do I know how much I will pay for Foster Denovo to advise me?
We make our charges and fees clear to our clients before we start work on their behalf. Every client is different and what we charge reflects this, in line with Consumer Duty regulations.

What our clients say
Harshit Mehta
“It was very easy to deal with our Partner at Foster Denovo during the entire remortgage process. They tried their best to get the remortgage completed in time and even helped escalate complaints we had with solicitors. I highly recommend Foster Denovo for financial and mortgage advice.”
James Hunt
“Feel very lucky to have the advice and expertise on offer, especially how much time was dedicated to our case. Having been supported through 3 applications and receiving excellent client service I would always recommend Foster Denovo.”
Alison Field, Group HR Director, Briggs Equipment
“We are always very busy and so I appreciate that we can fully outsource our pensions and benefits admin including Group Life Assurance, Group Income Protection and Private Medical Insurance to the Secondsight team. And I can’t speak highly enough of you and your team.”
John Tyszkiewicz
“Our Partner is a mortgage rock star.”
Thomas Edwards
“Process became difficult half way through so we had to sell a long time before buying the new property. Our Partners were fantastic from start to finish, kept me informed and chased all relevant parties immediately when needed. Literally faultless from my perspective.”
Sophie Whiteway
“Our Mortgage Partner was great- they touched base frequently without being overbearing during our house hunt. We waited a long time from offer acceptance to completion date and required a mortgage offer extension which was arranged without issue. My partner is self-employed so our Partner also ensured we had all the correct information and documents to gain mortgage approval. Would definitely recommend”
Ava Dennie
“The whole process from beginning to end was seamless. We were kept informed by our consultant at all times, no matter the time of day. There were areas of anxiety but our consultant dealt with it all and ensured all queries were dealt with as soon as possible. Would highly recommend.”
Karen Morris
“My Partner is extremely friendly and explains any questions I have. They fully and competently guided me through the process and I have full confidence in their knowledge and understanding.”
James Garner
“Our Partner is amazing, what a credit to any team . House would never have gone through without her. They went the extra mile every day”
Alexander Elliott
“Our Partner was fantastic, they made the whole application process stress free and was very adaptable to our quite specific requirements when finding us a mortgage that suited our needs.”
Amanda Standish
“A professional and personalised service. Worked tirelessly to find a mortgage suitable for my needs. Provided sound knowledge and advice and always following data protection procedures.”
“David has been very helpful in developing a strategy for us, with wills and trusts being the main component as well as investment ideas and life insurances. He has always been very patient and has taken the time to explain all the intricacies of these financial vehicles.
You can imagine the quantity of documents that we had to handle over the period. Tireless Kirsty was the one who handled them… She made a very complex process much simpler for us.”
