I have worked in the financial sector for 20 years and have gained a wealth of experience within client services and helping to deliver solutions that best fits a client’s needs and requirements. I feel very proud to have joined such an experienced and highly regarded team and I'm looking forward to the challenge faced in resolving key issues around later life. These important questions faced in retirement has drawn me to this rapidly evolving marketplace. I'm fully qualified and have recently expanded my qualifications by way of completing the CEMAP Diploma. I am married with a wonderful wife, 1 son and living in Essex. I like to keep fit through my weekly running club, however my young son always manages to keep me active. It is my objective to give my clients a better understanding around later life lending and to provide them with the best opportunity in making suitable and beneficial decisions to deliver a happy retirement. viva Retirement Solutions fee for arranging a Lifetime mortgage is £995 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.
