Hi I'm Hugh, for the last 25 years I have been the owner principle of my own financial services firm. I myself am qualified as a Diploma level Financial Adviser and I am fully licenced in Later Life Equity Release Mortgages. I am an FCA registered adviser and all my advice is fully insured. I help people access a large range of mortgages both from high street lenders and specialist lending sources. I arrange mortgages, equity release, protection insurance, Investments and Pensions, I also have expertise in development finance, and am a landlord and developer myself. This allows me to offer a comprehensive advice to portfolio landlords and developers in respect of upcoming changes in legislation. Outside work I love to play football, squash, golf and cycle. However, most of all I love to spend time with my two beautiful daughters who sadly live abroad now and our little dog Fred. I love holidays and eating out. I also carry out voluntary work where I mentor and coach people who have had hard times with mental health issues to get the life they deserve.
