Verified Advisers
I began advising in Woolwich Building Society in the 1990s and have spent over 30 years advising on all types of mortgages and protection insurances. I have clients all over the UK. Apart from this profile, I don't advertise or have a website - all my work comes from returning clients and from referrals. It's just me, so you get a personal service from initial enquiry right the way through to the satisfaction survey. I'm not a pressure salesman and I take pride in explaining things so that my clients can make informed decisions about how they want to proceed. Advice can be delivered either face-to-face or via telephone and/or Teams/Zoom. I aim to treat you in the same way that I would wish to be treated myself. The first hour is no obligation and free - during that time I endeavour to find out what you need and establish that I can help you. I explain how I work, what services I offer and what charges are likely (if any).
