My equity release had a few delays because of COVID but John was always checking and getting back to me to try to hurry things along. I would and have recommended him to others as equity release can be a tricky field to navigate but John made it all so clear and easy to understand.

John was recommended by a friend. He was knowledgeable and friendly whilst advising and supporting my mortgage application. He kept me well informed of the process and was proactive in chasing the lender.

First contacted John a couple of years ago for advice which he gave making sure I understood everything. This year I contacted him again regarding equity release and again he was very helpful, made sure I understood everything and kept on top of the transaction. I would recommend him.

I first contacted John around 5 years ago about equity release and without fault he has continued to provide upto date market information and support until i finally this year completed my equity release.

A very professional service. We were guided through with great care and understanding, enabling us to proceed.

John was very approachable from the very first time we spoke and he continued to be extremely professional and very reliable. We were so happy to have had John assist us with the equity release. WE genuinely highly recommend him. Thank you John.

John very kindly took over the job of arranging our re-mortgage at short notice. He provided a hassle-free service and bearing in mind the added difficulties presented by the Coronaviras, he managed to get everything arranged within the timescale. An excellent service all round. Thank you.

John provided excellent service with utmost professionalism. All aspects of equity release were clearly explained and no matter how small my queries were John dealt with them promptly.. His friendly persona made the whole process of equity release very easy..

John is extremely helpful. and made me feel confident throughout the whole process. Despite all the complications posed by the Covid pandemic he managed to keep me focussed and on task.
He turned out to be a real “friend in need” . What’s not to like?

We had originally tried to use a well known national provider to switch our mortgage to a life time mortgage. Due to an issue with the property the national provider broker said they would not be able to assist.

This didn’t sound right to us so we contacted a more local person, John Whyte who listened to the situation on phone and agreed to come round to the house. After having a look round John disagreed that there was an issue with the property and sure enough survey and valuation went through exactly as John predeicted, John was even spot on with the valuation of our property and in our case he also managed to find a life time mortgage product that had a lower interest rate than our existing mortgage!

John is very professional and competent at his job, he managed a potentially tricky sitaution for us with ease. We also changed our life cover through John to more appropriate products saving a bit in the process.

Many thanks John.

Thank you John for the advice and time given to make sure I had the right product in releasing money from my house and allowing me to enjoy the equity now . Even with the covid pandemic going on things progressed smoothly and I would not hesitate to recommend you.

For the second time John has provided a fantastic service always working in the best interest of his clients. I would highly recommend him.

“I was first introduced to John in October/November through my daughter’s Financial Adviser. He visited me with my daughter present to explain what was involved in releasing equity in my property – I had recently been bereaved and did not wish to move house at the present time.

He was very pleasant and the whole discussion was clearly set out as to what was involved and he explained the various stages of the procedure. This was all conducted in a very relaxed fashion – no hard sell, no pressure. We finally agreed on how much equity I wished to release and he set the wheels in motion. I had various papers to find – some of which were available to him there and then – others would be needed further along the line. He advised that I would be hearing from my solicitor and that the financial side would be handled by the recommended lender.

I duly received an acknowledgement from solicitor followed by an appointment with a firm of solicitors near to my home in order to have my identification verified. This was all satisfactory and I was advised that I would received confirmation of my acceptance before Christmas. This I received on 22nd December and the funds were in my bank before the new year. This could not have been easier or executed more smoothly and John was the driver behind this satisfactory conclusion – I enjoyed working with him. There was no pressure (as with double glazing agents!) I wish him well for the future and now I just have to spend my money!

John was so so so patient with helping get an equity release that was just right for me.. John was very knowledgeable & was very patient. Thank you John.
