When you think of spring, you probably think of renewal or fresh starts. Spring is the perfect time for doctors to embark on a financial spring-cleaning journey. 

Just as we tidy up our homes and declutter our spaces, it’s equally as important to give our finances a thorough review and refresh as well. 

From wealth protection to estate planning, or mortgage management to tax optimisation, spring is a great time to get your financial house in order. 

This article does not constitute advice. Professional advice should be taken prior to acting on any part of it. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debt secured on it. 

Review and renew your plan 

Spring is in the air and that means it is the ideal time to stop and take stock of your financial situation.

Start by assessing your current wealth protection measures — your critical illness cover, income protection, life insurance, and private health insurance. Ensure that these policies are up to date and that you have adequate coverage for you and your family in case of unforeseen circumstances. 

Once you have a plan to provide for your family in case of illness, injury, or death, you can turn your attention to your long-term legacy. While you should be updating your estate plan with each major life event, a regular review to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes never hurts. Estate planning isn’t just about mapping out how your wealth will be distributed; it’s also about peace of mind and ensuring that your legacy is preserved. 

Optimise your financial plan 

When you are undergoing your financial review, don’t forget to consider ways to optimise your finances and make your money work harder for you. See if you can find cost-cutting opportunities like remortgaging or consolidating other high-interest debts to help save money. 

Additionally, take the time to evaluate your investment portfolio. Does your portfolio still align with your financial goals and risk tolerance? Are you maximising tax-efficient investment vehicles such as ISAs and SIPPs? Are there opportunities to diversify your investments and potentially boost returns? 

Working with a financial advisor to complete your spring renewal review will help you find all these answers and more.
