Brilliant care from Tracy

Tracy was brilliant from the first meeting, which was at our home, through some hurdles to the moment we completed. She was always only a phone call away to support, answer questions, and sort any problems that came along. I would definitely recommend Responsible Life and Tracy, who made us feel like we were important to her, and getting things sorted was never too much trouble, even when it was after normal work hours.

Tracy James

The experience itself was very trying but Tracy’s steadfast support and always quick response gave us confidence that we would achieve completion - we did and I doubt we would have managed it without her. It was an obstacle course throughout but Tracy made it happen. Thanks a million

Susan Chessor

I approached Resonsible Life with an enquiry regarding equity release and I was fortunate to speak with Susan Chessor. Susan is such an approachable woman and her knowledge is second to none 😃. She brought to my attention an issue on my credit file which I would never had known about if it wasn't for Susan which I am extremely grateful to her for pointing this out.
We decided together that the product was not suitable for me but in the future I would not hesitate in using Responsible life in the future as they are a fantastic company.
Thank you very much Susan and your team 😃

Nick Meeke/equity release

I contacted Royal London because I was giving consideration to releasing equity on my home. Nick Meeke was assigned to act as my financial advisor. His approach was both professional and friendly. Nick diligently and systematically gathered information pertaining to my financial situation and then detailed the various options open to me. Nick passed on information in an articulate, precise, and easy to understand fashion.
I decided to opt for equity release on my property - Nick arranged this and ensured everything progressed swiftly and without hitch. Nick provided updates at each step of the way. Overall, a very satisfying and stress-free experience. I would highly recommend the financial services of Royal London and Nick Meeke.

A firm, grateful tip of my hat for Mr Kevin Williams.

With my old house, a number of issues and conditions needed to be addressed, and at every turn, Kevin remained composed and supportive and provided me with the correct advice and guidance to achieve a successful outcome. Too, with a genuine, rare gift for making difficult, puzzling problems appear easily simple and comprehensible, he was more much than just a great help. Kevin was an International World Cup winning Captain that I was fortunate to work with!

We have had an excellent experience…

We have had an excellent experience using Responsible Life to help finance a property purchase. Everything was clearly explained, and we were made aware of any potential issues. Our advisor was always extremely helpful and was able to smooth out any hold ups regarding solicitors and communication. Thoroughly recommended.

Paul Wrightson. Equity Release Specialist

So me and my wife met 'Paul Wrightson' an Equity Release Specialist and the title tells you everything. The man was very charming, polite, knowledgeable in his subject and a pleasure to meet him. He made us feel relaxed about what we were about to enter into. We were happy in his explanation of what was on offer and the process was completed without any hassle. Would recommend Paul to anyone who was thinking go down the same path. Thank you Paul.

Angharad made the whole process very easy for us. She kept us informed at every stage and was very quick to reply (and patient) when we had any queries. I would not hesitate to recommend this company and Angharad in particular.

Sharon Coatalan epitomises what is…

Sharon Coatalan epitomises what is required in any financial advisor. Extremely diligent and trustworthy, Sharon also has a very agreeable manner, which made her a pleasure to deal with. I can’t say that about a previous failed experience with another company. Sharon was a breath of fresh air, remaining patient and accommodating throughout my complex case. Her support was invaluable and I recommend her highly.
