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.

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.

Martin Hoare was my advisor and he couldn’t have been more helpful. I had lots of questions which were all answered quickly and concisely making the whole process so simple. I nearest rushed or obligated to make a decision. I can’t recommend Martin highly enough. A very smooth professional experience

The Key advice given by Joseph Withers helped myself and my wife decide how the equity release would be more beneficial to both of us. His professional advice helped us to decide not to overstretch ourselves. Thankyou to Key providing the right support.
