My name is David Griffin and over the past 15 years I’ve advised hundreds of clients over the age of 55 on Equity Release, right across the North West. I specialise purely in Equity Release and have access to the whole of the market, which means I’m not restricted by one provider. All of the lenders I use are approved by the Equity Release Council who are the industry body for the UK Equity Release sector. I’ll help you understand how the various Equity Release plans work without the technical jargon or pushy sales techniques. Just honest, independent advice. This way you can decide which option is right for you – if any. Equity Release isn’t always the best option for the people I speak to, but for many it has helped them to become more comfortable with their finances throughout their retirement. I live in Bolton with my wife and help people in Greater Manchester and the wider North West with their Equity Release needs. I can travel to your home or we can arrange a video call through zoom or similar. I’m also a winner of the Best Sole Trader at the Equity Release annual awards and have been a finalist in the same category on a number of occasions. “ I am delighted to announce that I have been listed in the Vouchedfor top rated Financial Adviser Guide for the last 3 years running.. The adviser guide is based on excellent client reviews and is distributed in The Telegraph annually. Top Rated advisers have received a minimum of 10 excellent clients reviews (averaging 4.5* or higher) since January 2021, have a 4.5* or higher all-time client rating and have passed all of the extensive checks that form part of VouchedFor's fully verified membership.”
