“David Quinn was excellent met our every expectation. Every person we dealt with was very professional and couldn’t do enough – service was top quality. I would recommend to everyone.”
MR BC, Hampshire
One of the best endorsements we can expect from our clients is a recommendation to a friend or family member.
Choosing to release equity from your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you can make. For homeowners aged 55 and over, it can mean a much improved retirement with more cash-flow and a better standard of living. It can also free up older homeowners to renovate their home, buy a new car, travel and even help loved ones financially.
It is vital that your adviser listens carefully to you and assesses your financial circumstances carefully. Mr BC fed back to us that he was fully informed about the advice process and that his adviser listened to his requirements as well as his financial needs and objectives.
This is important as your adviser will only recommend equity release if it is suitable in your circumstances.
Mr BC strongly valued the personal service and rated both his adviser and the company overall as 10/10.

Are you looking for advice on lifetime mortgages in Hampshire?
A lifetime mortgage is where you borrow a percentage of the value of your property. You must be aged 55 or over and the amount that you can borrow depends on your age and the value of your home – get an idea about how much you could borrow with our equity release calculator.
You do not have to make payments on the outstanding debt each month, but you have to pay off the interest from the remaining value of your home when it is eventually sold, typically after you die or move into long-term care. Some products do allow you to pay off some or all of the interest monthly as it accrues, so you can retain more equity in your property.
There are a number of ways you can receive payments including a lump sum or a drawdown mortgage, where there is a pot of money set aside for you to access when you need to.
