I was thinking of some form of equity release, or later life mortgage, to release some of the equity in my property, to enable some major updates and renovations within the property. With the prospect of doing this myself being rather daunting, or perhaps impossible, I was recommended, via my solicitor and another financial advisor, to go to Chris. He came very highly recommended.
We required advice regarding our situation, and we were found an excellent deal and the communication with us throughout was excellent.
There is little, if anything, that could have been done better. The mortgage application took place during the Covid pandemic, and everything went through successfully.
