I am a Financial Adviser (Equity Release Specialist) for Aviva Equity Release Advisers. I have worked in Financial Services for 29 years, with the last 23 years being in an advisory role. I have worked previously as a Mortgage Manager with HSBC and more recently as an Equity Release Advisor with HUB Financial Solutions (previously Just Retirement Solutions). I have specialised in Equity Release advice for the last 10 years. I offer advice on Lifetime Mortgages from Aviva Equity Release UK Ltd. There are *no advice* fees if you use Aviva Equity Release Advisers. I can support clients who are looking at equity release for the first time, as well as existing clients who are looking to release further equity from their home. I offer appointments by telephone, video, and face to face in the North West. If you have family or close friends you wish to involve in our meetings, then they're more than welcome to join us when we look at your enquiry in more detail.
