Introduction: A New Kind of Financial Partner
At Turkington Davis, we believe financial advice should be more than products and paperwork. It should be about helping you design a clear path towards your goals - whether that’s buying your first home, protecting your family, or turning your business success into lasting wealth.
That’s why we describe ourselves not as traditional advisers, but as Wealth Architects. This approach reflects our mission: to provide independent, jargon-free guidance, a blueprint, that helps people and business owners create financial structures strong enough to last a lifetime.
In this welcome blog, we’ll explain what makes our approach different, why it matters right now, and how we can support you on your financial journey.
Why We Call Ourselves Wealth Architects
Most financial advisers focus on products. We focus on blueprints.
A good architect doesn’t just choose bricks or windows — they design a structure that’s strong, functional, and built to last. That’s how we see financial planning.
At Turkington Davis, our role as Wealth Architects is to help you:
Define your goals (home, family, business, retirement).
Create a financial structure that supports them.
Build resilience with the right protection.
Grow wealth through long-term strategy in property, pensions, and investments.
Adapt the plan as your life and the economy evolve.
This is advice designed to stand the test of time.
Why Wealth Architecture Matters Now
The financial landscape in the UK has changed dramatically over the past few years.
Rising interest rates have made mortgages more complex and costly.
Inflation pressures mean day-to-day budgets are tighter than ever.
Property markets have shifted, but opportunities still exist for those who plan well.
Business owners face new challenges with borrowing, tax efficiency, and succession planning.
In this climate, one-off product advice isn’t enough. People and businesses need a holistic blueprint that looks at the bigger picture - not just today’s rate, but tomorrow’s stability.
That’s why the Wealth Architect approach isn’t just different. It’s essential.
Who We Are & Why We’re Different
I’m Nick Turkington, founder of Turkington Davis. My journey is a little different from many advisers, I have:
A background in business ownership — from hospitality to logistics — means I understand the pressures entrepreneurs face.
A track record in property investment gives me insight into one of the UK’s most powerful wealth-building tools.
A commitment to independent, regulated advice ensures we always act in your best interest, not a bank’s or provider’s.
I founded Turkington Davis: to combine real-world experience with trusted, regulated advice. This mix is what sets us apart. We’re not here just to sell products. We’re not just advisers — we’re strategic partners who bring real-world entrepreneurial experience alongside FCA-regulated standards.

FAQs: The Wealth Architect Approach
Clear, concise answers to common questions.
What makes a Wealth Architect different from an IFA?
An IFA typically recommends products. A Wealth Architect designs a complete, long-term blueprint — aligning mortgages, protection, pensions, and investments with your goals — then reviews and adapts it as life changes. It’s strategy first, products second, delivered with independent, whole-of-market advice.
Do you only work with wealthy clients?
No. We help first-time buyers, families, and business owners at every stage. Wealth is built step by step. Our role is to create a clear plan, prioritise actions, and put the right tools in place so you can progress confidently from your current starting point.
Can you help with mortgages and protection as part of the plan?
Yes. Mortgages, life/critical illness cover, and income protection are core building blocks. We source whole-of-market options and fit them into a wider strategy, so your borrowing and risk management support long-term goals rather than working against them.
Do you work only in Northern Ireland?
We’re based in Belfast but support clients across the UK. Meetings can be in person or online. Our independent, whole-of-market access allows us to research products nationwide and tailor recommendations to your location, plans, and circumstances.
How often should I review my financial plan?
At least annually, and after major life or business events — a house move, new venture, family changes, or significant market shifts. Regular reviews keep your blueprint aligned with reality, ensuring your plan remains resilient and opportunities aren’t missed.
Can you advise on property as part of my plan?
Yes. Property is central to many UK wealth plans. We advise on home moves, remortgages, buy-to-let strategy, and how property interacts with cash flow, risk, tax efficiency, and retirement planning within your broader financial blueprint.
Are you regulated?
Yes. Turkington Davis is an Appointed Representative of Rosemount Financial Solutions (IFA) Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. We’re transparent about costs and never make guarantees about returns.
