What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an equity release adviser?

To be able to retire.

Simon has extremely helpful and thorough in explaining the whole process of equity release.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

The outcome was definitely what we were hoping for. The whole process went without issue and simon supported us through the whole process.

Not a thing. The whole of our experience was stress free, with a positive outcome. My wife and I have no hesitation in recommending Simon for assistance in equity release.

Hi Paul, and thanks for the fabulous review! I really enjoyed meeting and helping you, and we even had a few good laughs along the way! You've certainly dropped on lucky in retiring during this gorgeous Spring weather. Kaye and I wish you both a wonderful, long, healthy and very happy retirement together. Enjoy your new-found family time! With best wishes Simon

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an equity release adviser?

We had equity release with a different provider and they wouldn’t port it over to the new house we wanted to buy

How has Simon Chalk helped you?

He sorted everything out for us. Nothing was too much trouble. We were abroad on holiday when we found out that our previous equity release provider wouldn’t port it over. Simon and Kaye couldn’t have done anymore for us. They were absolutely phenomenal- kept in constant touch with us, despite being abroad, reassured us that they would do whatever they could to realise our dream move. He arranged a face to face meeting as soon as we returned home and spent a whole morning with us working through our application. He was so positive and explained whilst there wasn’t a 100% guarantee he believed our move would happen. We were constantly kept updated as our application progressed and through his and Kayes efforts we secured equity release and were able to move before Christmas into our new home. We can’t thank both Simon and Kaye enough for what they did for us. From start to finish they were honest, up front and professional, explaining every step of the process.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

The outcome was more than we could have hoped for!

What could they have done better?

Absolutely nothing- they were fabulous

Simon:

Thank you for your wonderful review Gill. Helping you to move to your lovely new home, has to have been one of the best experiences we had last year! We hope you have settled in nicely, and are enjoying the peaceful life. Kaye has her eye on fancy houseplants to spend your gift voucher on - thank you! Wishing you all the very best Simon & Kaye X
