Stonehaven

The client

Hailed as the equity release specialists committed to developing new financial solutions for the over 55s, Stonehaven is a newly formed company based in London Victoria.

With more and more people needing to release part of the equity in their homes as an ongoing supplement to inadequate pension payouts, Stonehaven has recognised that there is a need for a flexible solution. Offering a bespoke service, the company works solely through intermediaries and tailors packages to suit the individual needs of each client.

Computer Strategies, along with our web development partners, have been involved with Stonehaven’s website since the beginning of the year. A sophisticated site, it provides all the tools necessary for financial advisors to tailor an equity release package for each of their clients. Phase 1 of this site is complete with phase 2 due to go live at the time of going to press.



During October, CS supplied two servers and all necessary networking equipment to install all the in-house systems at Stonehaven. All desktops and laptops were then configured according to our stringent standards. Furthermore, since there are myriad remote users, there is heavy email traffic and the associated security features need to be efficient. To this end, CS has installed Mail Controller to manage and control spam and viruses. As part of our holistic approach, we also upgraded Stonehaven’s accounting software to the latest Sage v12.

We are committed to ensuring that Stonehaven has efficient IT systems to facilitate the smooth operation of its vast network of financial advisors so that they can continue to deliver tailored and workable solutions to a vast array of clients.
