Great team

The team were great, helpful and pleasant. Whoever we talked to about our case they knew the answer so we weren’t passed around different people.
The process was understandable and I felt ‘just trust the process’, it all worked out fine. Ellie Davis and her team- thank you!

Releasing equity using Key Equity…

Releasing equity using Key Equity Release was a smooth process as everything was explained to me from start to finish by Jo athan Swift. On the solicitor side, my case manager was Emily Yong who kept ne informed of progress and the vital documentation required to complete the whole thing. There was no pressure on me and I was free to ask any questions. It took about 10 weeks and I can now make improvements which will enable me to live where I love in a freshened home indefinitely.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Naturally we’re disappointed your experience hasn’t met your expectations on this occasion, and we would welcome an opportunity to discuss the matter further. That said, our staff work extremely hard to ensure all clients are supported appropriately during their application. We assign all our clients with a case manager to guide clients through the process and check in with them throughout, so it’s equally disappointing to read your comments.

If you wish to discuss the matter further then we invite you to contact our Service Quality Manager, Lexie, on lexie.woropaj@equilaw.uk.com

All the best,
Equilaw Solicitors
