A big thank you to Tom Walmsley We had two long telephone consultations with Tom, who explained to us in great detail, what we needed to do, to bring our documents up to date. Many options were discussed and then we were given time to reflect, before finalising our decisions.

Michael Faulkner was my Advisor. He was very thorough when answering my questions. He never hurried me to make any decisions and was more than happy to discuss all potential options in order to find the 'best fit' for me.

Tom Walmsley, took me through all aspects of writing a will & sorting powers of attorney, in plain & simple terms, made it easy to understand & answered any questions i may have had. When a telephone consultation was arranged was always punctual in ringing & all paperwork was sent out rapidly.
Overall a great service.

Martin Hoare was my Key representative. He explained everything clearly and precisely. If I didn’t understand anything he would patiently go through it again. Whenever I had a query whilst going through the process he would answer my questions promptly. He kept me up to date every step of the way.

We were very reluctant about Equity Release initially as my parents had been ill advised in the past and I didn’t feel it was a way for us to move forward but talking with Joseph Withers put us at complete ease. He talked us through the process and gave us time to think about our options. He explained everything clearly, and answered all our question, no matter how small. This has been a long drawn out journey but Joseph Withers has been there every step of the way.

Information supplied by Tom Walmsley was informative and helpful. He explained issues which might have caused my Executors problems, which I now avoid.

I thought that getting a life long mortgage would be difficult and stressful but when I got in touch with Joseph Withers who became my financial advisor I couldn't be more wrong. Joe made me feel less stressful with his easy get along manner and guided me to successfully complete my life long mortgage. A big thanks to Joseph Withers.
