Featured review: As a young couple, we were unsure what to do with our savings and were concerned about being able to afford having children and owning a property. Blyth and the team created a 10 year financial plan for us including childcare and maternity leave and future mortgage repayments and gave us options on how to invest our savings to support the life we want to have. We are now closing the deal for our first investment property and we feel like the decision we've made had the best and most complete research backing it up. We've been guided in every step of the process and have had all of the question answered (in multiple occasions). We are very happy with the relationship we have built with the team and hope it will keep growing with time.

advice that fits our circumstances and some of the specialised financial structures that we have. Blyth and the team tick all of these boxes - in addition, they work behind the scenes to make sure all of the administration is managed - it just happens in the background which is fantastic, but with full transparency so we can see everything that is happening with our investments. Blyth's availability is great, and he takes time to explain everything so we can have full confidence in the steps we are taking.

made a huge difference to my super. He is very thorough and covers a lot of aspects in his advice. He always makes himself available when I need to speak with him and he follows up with me on actions from our meetings. He also has a great team working with him. I highly recommend Wealthline.

gone into administration, and now from that, to full liquidation. Ponzi scheme operators and complete crooks. they have ruined the retirement plans for dozens and dozens of people that trusted them with their super and their hard earned savings.

Platinum Accounting & Taxation
Excellent service – Corinne has been so helpful with my taxes over the past few years, especially since mine have been quite complicated. Would definitely recommend her services!
Apex Financial Planning
Absolute horrible experience – all I have received since I joined is a $10000-$15000 loss in my super and now I’m trying to leave I’ve had nothing but problems 100% would not recommend!… RUN!….

to detail. Ida achieved outstanding results both with refinancing my loan and arranging absolutely magnificent first home loan deal for a close family member. Ida ensured that all process run smoothly without stress, and kept us updated with amazingly clear communication along the way. I look forward to use Ida’s services in the coming years for periodic loan reviews!
Invest Blue
It is discouraging to read of so many good reviews on this site but then have to accept the terrible service we have had from Invest Blue at… Read more
Cooranbong. It all started when I questioned why the monthly advisor fee had to go up 16% when the inflation rate was less than 3% at the time. Newly retired, I can't watch that sort of money leaving my account every month when all we get is an annual 'catch-up' and no communication during the year - not even answers to emails. We decided to stop using the particular advisor (and thus leave Invest Blue) and withdraw our investments from MyNorth. Since then it has been a painful process of having to remind the advisor up to 3 times to answer my emails which have contained questions and sometimes instructions. Excuses have been 'holiday breaks' or 'illness' which are fine but most professionals would set up an autoreply. Answers sometimes come at last and are short and abrupt. The latest email request has gone three weeks with several reminders from me. This time there have been no responses and not even any lame excuses. From the reviews I am sure Invest Blue is generally a good company, but PLEASE don't put yourself through the pain of going to their Cooranbong office.

I was promised everything from the start and it went down hill really fast. I was passed off to three or four different people after I was told they… Read more
resigned. The service declined further and it took weeks to hear back when I asked any questions or asked for advice. It took over 6 months to set up insurance and after a year and receiving our Statement of Advice, there had been no action. They were very unprofessional when setting up SMSF and held up the whole process. I am sad to say I would definately not recommend them. For us it was a massive loss of money.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re… Read more

I'd avoid the Weekend Briefing. The left leaning and love for our worst ever PM is quite incredible. Alan Kohler does, after all, work for the ABC.

I had no doubt that our finances were in good hands. I'd highly recommend their services to all my friends and family!

VENTAS CAPITAL NOT REPYAING MANDATE FEES! – WATCH OUT! [Name Removed] and [Name Removed], keeping the $15,000 mandate fee based on the following, only shows how desperate you both are for… Read more
income: (I wasn't surprised to see another REVIEW on here stating the same issue with mandate fees, now it's been removed)!
FACTS:
1. 07.06.24 3.20pm My email clearly stated I’m sure you respect that, with contradicting terms please accept the $15,000 on the basis both parties are happy with the final offer. 2. 07.06.24 4.40pm [Name Removed] called after receiving my email and confirmed Derek my 2IC and myself on this call that the $15,000 was based on the deal settling. (3rd attachment) 3. All our conversations were subject to the independent valuation coming in at $4m+, this was stated in every conversion we had regarding the valuation as your "offers" were based on a 4m+ valuation. (Hence [Name Removed] requested and accepted the valuation for the commercial building) 4. I never received any/final loan offers from Maxiron "The lender" to sign, besides an email on the 18.06.24 at 9.47am with [Name Removed] advising the establishment fee was reduced from 2.8% to 2.4%, 2.8% had never been tabled or advised. This tactic is purely to justify your fees. 5. 19.06.24 9.56am, [Name Removed] texted myself “Maxiron has advised the loan approval has an expiry at 5pm today. Need to know if this is an option for you. (Formal offers have a legal time frame)!
[Name Removed] and [Name Removed] accepted the $15,000 based on both parties being happy with the terms as per my email on 07.06.24 3.20pm, [Name Removed] also called immediately after and confirmed it was based on the deal settling, my 2IC of my Company Derek, was in this phone call.
Anyone who wants proof of what is stated above to prove the facts, please feel free to email me on darren@no1propertyguide.com.au and I will send through all documents to allow yourself to make an informed decision along with the screen shot of the 1 star review that has been removed.
5x Reviews on Product Review: (Now 4 reviews) 1x Review states the same issue of not repyaing fees as agreed!. (Looks like you have paid the client hence he has removed his 1 star review based on the same situation) 1x Review from [Name Removed], [Name Removed] is [Name Removed] partner.

Vanguard Investments
Vanguard Australia – Delayed Dividend Payment I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Vanguard and Computershare regarding the payment of… Read more
dividends from my Vanguard investments in VVLU and VMIN. I invested in Vanguard ETFs VVLU and VMIN and was expecting dividend payments dated 16 July 2026. When I checked my Computershare account, I discovered that my bank details needed to be set up. I updated my bank account details on 17 July 2026, but after three weeks I am still waiting for the dividend payment. I contacted Computershare and was told that I needed to wait longer, but I was not given a clear explanation or a definite payment date. Overall, this has been a very disappointing experience with two companies that should be providing investors with a reliable and transparent dividend payment service.
Fantastic to deal with and prompt with payment. Very friendly people over the phone. I highly recommend them.
