I specialise in later life needs and financial solutions. This includes Equity Release/Lifetime Mortgages and Retirement Interest Only Mortgages (RIO's) and as a Professional Member of the Air Later Life Academy I also address needs around estate planning, wills, tax & trusts, power of attorney, long-term care, and guidance on pensions & benefit entitlements for later life clients. I am keen to discuss your needs with regard to any of the above as well as how Lifetime or RIO mortgages may be of value to you. Message or call me for a copy of my free, no-obligation pdf 'Twenty-One Myths About Equity Release'. Just to let you know ... 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.
