I have been working in the financial service industry for 20 years from managing building society branches, training to being a self employed trader specialising in Later Life Mortgages I've been on a bit of a journey through the financial industry which brought me full circle back to what i love which is talking direct to customer. I would like to say that I found my perfect job, but I think the perfect job found me as there is no better feeling than that of helping someone get what they need, want or desire. Life is for living and if I can help someone live a better quality of life through this service then what better jobs satisfaction. I am happily divorced with three wonderful grown up children and five grandchildren who mean the world to me and they generally come into conversation with my clients, as kids do say the funniest of things. 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. I'm a real person with real problems as we all do, so, outside of work I keep a healthy body by going to the gym each and a healthy mind through mediation with crystals. 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. Your adviser should be able to assess and explain this to you.
