Hello, I’m John Whyte, Independent Mortgage Broker, Specialist Equity Release Broker and Will Writer in Sussex covering the whole of the UK.
I am an independent mortgage broker with 25+ years’ experience in the financial services industry, specialising in residential mortgages and equity release plans. Using my unparalleled expertise in this complex sector, I can help you find the most competitive mortgage deals and later life mortgage facilities from all lenders.
A property asset may well be your largest ever investment but obtaining finance for a flat or house purchase, or releasing equity from your existing family home in later life, can be a complicated process that’s hard to navigate on your own. The good news is that there’s a wealth of choice out there and I can give you my personal attention and provide the expert help to guide you through the maze and find a financial solution that is right for you.
We all want to ensure that we pass on our property and other wealth to our loved ones when the time comes, which is why it is so important to write a Will. Sadly, putting it off can result in avoidable tax on death and additional hardship for family members. As a Will Writer, I can work with you and draft your Will to ensure your wishes are conveyed legally and clearly, while minimising your tax exposure.
Is equity release right for you?
As people start enjoying their retirement, many realise that the bulk of their wealth is tied up in the value of their home, preventing them from spending it or using it to invest elsewhere. Equity release is a way of unlocking that money, either in a lump sum or small instalments, to fund your purchases and lifestyle without leaving your home.
Equity release is a long-term financial decision that will have an impact on the value of your home when the time comes to sell, or if you pass away. It’s important to talk with your friends and family and seek professional, impartial advice before committing to a scheme.
Working together, we can discuss your personal circumstances, carry out some formal fact-finding and establish if there is something in particular that you are hoping equity release will help you with. For some people, they want to access some of their home’s value to fund a new car or a holiday, while others simply want to boost their monthly income after retirement. This will help me to research the schemes that are available to make some specific recommendations about which might be the best option for you.
Only once you are completely happy will we complete an equity release application.

Mr & Mrs S from Guildford
Recently retired Mr & Mrs S had means of ‘paying’ interest and possibly even mortgage loan capital but they found that ‘normal’ mortgage lending was restricted. To fund renovations on their new property, the couple opted for a small £30,000 release, made on a value of approximately £330,000. They are now looking to release further funds to indulge their ‘bucket list’!
