What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
We were moving house, selling AND buying for the first time. We needed to port an existing mortgage, take out additional borrowing and be left with enough cash on hand to allow for renovation in our new property.
How has Richard Latteman helped you?
Richard was able to explain clearly how everything would work and was very reassuring throughout. He understood our circumstances and got us onto the best rates, including hoping onto new cheaper mortgage deals as they because available. Using Richard meant we were able to relax about the mortgage and financial arrangements knowing it was being handled correctly. This is such a great benefit with all the stress of moving house.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes
What could they have done better?
Nothing could have been better

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I was in need of advice regarding Equity Release. I am divorced, and fairly recently retired. Having been self-employed all my life, and with no pension apart from a State Pension, and savings close to being depleted, I was in need of funds for my future, particularly as I had moved to a new home, which needed work done to it.
How has Richard Latteman helped you?
Richard guided me through the process thoroughly, patiently explaining things several times, in order for me to be confident that this was the right step for my future. Being single, I felt vulnerable about making such a huge financial decision on my own.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
I’m extremely happy with the outcome, and I feel my future is secure. Many of the projects I needed to do have been achieved, and I’m looking forward to achieve further projects.
What could they have done better?
Nothing.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
My Partner and I were looking to buy our first house. Richard came highly recommended by colleagues at work.
How has Richard Latteman helped you?
Richard gave us soo much attention time and reassurance as first time buyers. He went above and beyond explaining pros and cons at an incredibly stressful and volatile time with the drastic rise in interest rates.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Richard helped us secure our mortgage 3 times through our fairly choppy process with 2 sales falling through. He was incredibly generous with his time and always pushed to get things through on tight deadlines at times! He also gave us full options and a more holistic look at lifestyle and priorities as part of our decision making process.
