There are ***no advice fees*** when applying for your initial loan, if you come to Aviva Equity Release Advice, where I'm an Equity Release Adviser. I offer advice on lifetime mortgages from Aviva Equity Release UK Ltd. I can support clients who are looking at equity release for the first time, as well as existing clients who are looking to release further equity from their home. Having worked at other firms previously, I have a wealth of knowledge around lifetime mortgages and understand the importance of taking the time needed to listen to what's important to you, and explore your options. I offer appointments by telephone, video, and face to face in Dorset and Hampshire, including parts of Wiltshire and Berkshire. If you have family or close friends you wish to involve in our meetings, then they're more than welcome to join us when we look at your enquiry in more detail. Something that's important to me is to be on hand if you have any questions or queries, so you'll have my direct contact details to get in touch with me from start to finish. When I'm not in the office, you might find me on the golf course, or in the garden where me and my two children like to grow fruit and vegetables. Our favourites to grow are blueberries, strawberries, potatoes and green beans.
