“Being nearly 70 years old it’s quite tricky to raise money for mortgages etc. Paul helped enormously. He even came to my home and explained everything and went through all options available. I found Paul’s advice and help extremely good. Fast, knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend him.”
“Paul understood why we needed to top up our lifetime mortgage and he explained everything relevant to our requirements. The most important thing he has done for us was to take control of all requirements needed to achieve a satisfactory outcome. All was explained to us in a completely straightforward way in which we could understand. We cannot think of anything Paul could have done better.”
