I have been working in the financial services advisory sector for nearly 40 years with a key focus on providing quality advice to clients to meet their needs. I have extensive experience of the mortgage industry but more latterly, following my retirement from a long career in banking, I have turned my attention to advising the over 55’s who wish to use their housing wealth to meet a wide range of needs. Being in that age bracket myself I can fully appreciate the challenges faced when considering retirement and the range of conflicting priorities such as supporting adult children to achieve their dreams, repaying existing mortgages, or simply wanting a better retirement. In 2019 I was lucky enough to be invited to be a member of the Equity Release Council’s standards board where I use my experience and expertise to assist the Council to ensure quality and safe equity release advice is delivered across the industry. Just to let you know ..... viva Retirement Solutions fee for arranging a Lifetime mortgage is £750 payable only on completion. Research has shown that some companies charge over £1,500 or 1.95% of the loan, whatever is greater, for this service including a letter of suitability. Equity release will reduce the value of your estate and could affect eligibility to means tested benefits. I will be able to assess and explain this to you.
£430,000 Consumer Protection
Your money is protected against bad advice by the Financial Ombudsman Service up to a maximum limit of £430k and by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) if the company goes out of business (in which case, limits may vary - see the FSCS website for more details).
