Chris Brooks of Harbour Equity Release was recommended to me by a friend’s financial advisor - I am incredibly grateful to both. In the end I did not take out an equity release loan, however, throughout the several months process of exploring this option Chris was thoughtful, understanding and totally professional. He took the time to consider my particular circumstances and what I was wanting to achieve. We developed a friendly and chatty relationship, but throughout, he was scrupulously professional in explaining the process and the implications of such a decision. He kept in touch without ever pressurising me. When an alternative solution presented itself to me, he understood and was very supportive of my decision to not go ahead with the plan he had presented, indeed he was extremely helpful in ensuring the option was kept open until it was certain I no longer needed it. If my best friend, my mother, or any other person I hold dear, were considering equity release, I would not hesitate to suggest talking to Chris.

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 would highly recommend Chris Brooks for any advice and help with equity release. Although I decided not to go ahead at this time with my equity release. I would defiantly contact Chris again if I needed any help in the future. Thank you Chris.

At age 83 I needed to speak with a market wide expert on the subject of Equity Release. Having done my initial research to find a knowledgeable advisor/s, I had a conversation with Chris Brooks at Harbour Equity Release. We arranged a time to have a longer telephone conversation about equity release without a time pressure. I am financially aware, but I didnt know the intricacies of the subject. Chris kindly spent enough time to go through the various aspects and answered my many questions. I have not yet decided my personal decision to proceed and at no time did Chris seek to favour any particular course of action, He is a man that knows his subject and I recommend talking with him. Many thanks Chris.

I am trying to find positive things to say about Chris at Harbour that haven't already been said. The service he provided was second to none. More than that he was simply one of the loveliest, most thoughtful, patient and kind people I have ever had business dealings with. Chris is the person you call when you despair of all the others. Happy sailing Chris, I can never thank you enough and needless to say I heartily RECOMMEND Harbour Equity Release. Jan G, Maxie, Fifi and Ralph

Harbour Equity release wasn't actually our advisor when trying to sort out a mortgage problem with another company. We were advised to contact him and he was very knowledgeable and competent and the advice he gave us was very good and helpful. He took the time to answer all my questions straight away. I would definitely recommend Chris in any dealings with Equity Release. Thank you.

We’re here to help you decide if releasing equity could get the things you want out of later life.
