"I have been building my property company, Land 2000 Ltd since 1993. In that time, John Moon and his team at Edison Ford have played an integral part in helping me to achieve my goals. The portfolio is now valued in the region of £10m and John continues to assist and advise me on the best strategy to expand and develop it. Because of John's close involvement, he has a detailed knowledge of every aspect of the portfolio and this, coupled with his immense knowledge of the finance market, enables us to obtain the very best deals, reducing costs wherever possible. I have recommended John to many of my colleagues and friends and will continue to do so."
J.M.O. Managing Director, Land 2000 Limited
"I have recently taken early retirement at age 46. I have been able to achieve this goal, beyond my wildest dreams, mainly due to the efforts of Edison Ford, namely John Moon and Jackie Crockett. When I first met John in 1989, I had one investment property. With his help, I have built my portfolio to more then 30 properties, with substantial equity. I entrust every aspect of the financial side of my affairs to Edison Ford and am completely confident in their abilities to look after my best interests. When I wanted to sell some of my portfolio, they came up with an ingenious scheme which has saved me a substantial sum in tax and protected my remaining assets against further tax. Jackie now looks after my portfolio on a day to day basis and I cannot praise her enough. Now that we live outside the UK, it's even more important to have someone taking care of our finances and Edison Ford are undoubtedly the best people to do this"

"In brief, now, I just wanted to thank you so much for your VERY extensive reports. I am extremely impressed. I need to read them through again several times but in essence I understand everything and know what I have to do. Your thoughts in particular about my pension and the purchase of a property were hugely helpful. Huge thanks for taking so much time and for understanding me and my situation so well."

Our Head Office is at 246 High Street, Batheaston, Bath, BA1 7RA, just minutes from the M4 motorway and easily accessible from the A46. Just leave the A46 at the Bath exit and take the road signposted Batheaston. We are three quarters of a mile along that road on the right hand side, opposite Avondale Garage and next to the Bus Stop. You can turn right into our private car park by the bus stop.
If you are coming from central Bath, head out towards the motorway and go straight over the big roundabout on the A46 junction, taking the Batheaston exit. Then continue as above.
If you are coming from Chippenham direction on the A4, take the Batheaston exit (3rd) off the roundabout at the start of the Batheaston bypass, just past Dunsford Land Rovers and the Motor Home garage. Continue through the mini roundabout and up the hill. As the road curves left and flattens you will see Avondale Garage on the right and a bus stop on the left. Turn left into our car park, just before the bus stop.
