Michael even stayed in touch once his work was done to ensure that the mortgage did not time out as the house sale was complicated due to probate and covid. The time saved by Michael doing all the searching for me was far more valuable to me making his fees extremely good value for money.

Excellent initial chat. Very informative and clear. I realized, as a result, that my own understanding of my options was somewhat wanting and that I have to think more carefully about my goals.

Michael Hogg was recommended to us by our IFA to assist us with an Application for Equity Release on our Home. Within the first five minutes we felt that Michael had an understanding of our situations and our reasoning. He guided us through the whole process advising us of any potential pitfalls and/or concerns while providing us with the benefits on an equal scale. Throughout the whole process we felt that Michael had made a true and correct assessment of needs and his submission on our behalf was exemplary. The proof of the pudding - as they say - is in the eating and our draw down from our property arrived in our bank account this morning. We felt safe and assured with Michael by our side and will always be grateful for his professional attitude and very kind support throughout.
