Advice is required to proceed with equity release and there may be other options which better suit your circumstances. Equity release may involve a home reversion plan or a lifetime mortgage, which is secured against your property and will reduce the value of your estate and impact funding long-term care. To understand the features and risks, ask for a personalised illustration. Equity release requires paying off any existing mortgage. Any money released, plus accrued interest would be repaid upon death, or moving into long-term care.

Chris is a truly independant expert (in our case on equity release). He was able to discover the reality from a scenario that our existing agent/advisor was unable to find (other than to refuse fund release), and he was then able to find and propose several ways to proceed . There was never any pressure or ushering us towards favored products/offer (it really is unbiased, solid financial advice he gives), and throughout this process the integrity, and trust was really reassuring. Chris constantly reminds of the big picture considerations to keep in mind and take account of. We really appreciated the fast, and effective support that Chris gave us during what was a challenging time for our family (following bereavement). I fully recommend talking to Chis. Thanks Chris!

Chris explained everything in detail so we fully understood the equity release process. We weren't rushed into it, and other avenues were considered, but this was the best route for us. A very professional and helpful service. Lorraine and Terry Croom

Until my first meeting with Chris I only had vague idea of how equity release worked. He explained the whole process from beginning to end. I had total confidence in him, his patient approach made the process seemless. I would have no hestation in recommending Chris if you are looking to release equity from your property.

Chris has been brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble. He kept in touch, on evenings, weekends, and even when he was trying to have a short holiday. We never felt that anything was too trivial. I'd thoroughly recommend his services

I was experiencing extreme financial difficulties which were likely to result in me losing my home. I contacted Chris and explained my situation to him and other agencies he works with. I was impressed with the patience shown and support given and how my problems were resolved. I am an older person and the paperwork and legal side were quite complicated. Everything was explained until I completely understood how my issues could be solved and they were to my complete satisfaction. I have no reservations in recommending Chris as an honest agent for equity release.
