About

I have worked in the property and finance markets for the past 19 years and have seen many changes to both industries in that time. I hold certificates of excellence in mortgages CeMAP and equity release CeRER. My attention was drawn to the equity market seven years ago when a raft of product changes made it the excellent solution it is today. I decided to work with Viva Retirement Solutions when I met their director Paul Saroya at a lenders event and immediately realised that the companies moral and ethical ideas matched my own. Equity release and in particular lifetime mortgages is a constantly changing market with new products arriving on an almost daily basis, Viva Retirement Solutions approach to continual personal development ensures that I stay up to date and offer our clients the most holistic, up to date and cost effective advice available. After many years living in Greece I am now based in Essex but cover anywhere in the South East area. I am happy to discuss your needs and wishes either on the telephone or in your home on a no obligation basis, releasing equity from your home is an important decision and my goal is to help you make the right one whether that leads to an application or not. Thank you for reading my bio and I hope to meet you soon. Just to let you know ..... viva Retirement Solutions fee for arranging a Lifetime mortgage is £995 payable only on completion. Research has shown that some companies charge over £1,750 or 1.95% of the loan amount, whatever is greater, for this service including a letter of suitability. Equity release will reduce the value of your estate and could affect eligibility to means tested benefits. I will be able to assess and explain this to you. A lifetime mortgage is a long-term commitment which could accumulate interest and is secured against your home. Equity release is not right for everyone and may reduce the value of your estate.
