The person who looked after us was…Sharon Carmicheal
The person who looked after us was Sharon Carmicheal and the way she did so was absolutely first class, she was thoughtful, patient, knowledgeable and caring all of which takes an old bloke like me back to the days when looking after people properly.
This was the way we ran our small business for over forty years. Thank you.

We quite by accident
We quite by accident, through the Daily Mail article on Life Time Morgages, came across Responsible Life who specalise in Life time Mortgages for the over 50's.
After our initial contact we were allocated to Sammi Atkinson who guided us through at 'warp' speed so we could get out of our present lender. Sammi guided us at every stage, and for anyone looking to move to a Life Time Mortgage, look no further than Responsible Life and ask for Sammi Atkinson. We love you Sammi for the help you gave us.
