How long could a final salary pension transfer take?

Our step-by-step guide takes you through the stages of transferring your final salary pension.

Stage 1

You request a ‘statement of entitlement’ from your pension scheme.

Stage 2 - After one month

Your pension scheme should notify you that you need to take professional financial advice.

Stage 3 - After three months

Your pension scheme confirms the ‘transfer value’ of your pensions and will send the paperwork with a deadline to take financial advice.

Stage 4 - After six months

This is your deadline to confirm that you want to transfer your pension and provide proof that you have taken financial advice.

Stage 5 - After nine months

This is the deadline for your pension scheme trustee to complete the transfer.

James took the time to make sure he understood my circumstances before giving me some excellent advice on how I could maximize the tax efficiency of my investments and thus my retirement income.

James was incredibly understanding about what goals I wanted to prioritize. The key, for me, was to have it explained in simple terms. This enabled me to take out the right personal protection and pension plan. Trust is probably the most important part of this process. I felt/feel confident that James helped me make the right plans to safeguard my family’s future.
