I would highly recommend Paul as a mortgage broker. As a first time lone buyer I began the process feeling very out of my depth, particularly in a market where mortgage rates are very high. But from the get go Paul provided reassurance and practical guidance and has been immensely helpful throughout the process. I've really appreciated his responsiveness, honesty and support.

I reached out to Paul 2 years ago and giving this review now because I wanted to ensure that I could give a true review of what benefits I have experienced from using his service. I am thrilled with the financial expertise given to me by Paul. His skillful negotiation secured me an excellent mortgage rate within a short turn around time. This has not only set me on the path to paying off my principal balance but has also allowed me to simultaneously build a solid emergency fund. His initial guidance has been invaluable in shaping my financial future. I look forward to working with Paul again, once my 5 year plan is near its end. Highly recommended!

Paul has been consistently excellent, ensuring we got the best possible mortgage deal at a time when rates weren't great. Paul worked with us to understand our financial complexities and went above and beyond to ensure they were understood by mortgage providers. We've been made to understand every stage of the process, and as first time buyers we were able to feel confident in the decisions we made. I would highly recommend working with Paul at Your Property Financial.

My almost a year-long journey with Paul as my broker has been truly amazing, despite a few hiccups during the mortgage process. Working with him has been the best decision ever! As a first-time buyer, I lacked knowledge about purchasing a home, but Paul's guidance and expertise were outstanding. He explained things in a clear and concise way. What impressed me the most was Paul's responsiveness. He promptly addressed all my questions and concerns, never making me feel like a bother. Even when I faced challenges, Paul's determination and problem-solving skills were unwavering. I felt so supported throughout the entire process. Thanks to Paul's unwavering support, I managed to reach this point. I highly recommend him to anyone, especially fellow first-time buyers. Paul's knowledge, patience, and reliability are unmatched. He's not just a broker; he's an invaluable ally in this complex process. Thank you, Paul!

Paul was an incredible broker to work with, would highly recommend! I went into the house buying process new and anxious, Paul was patient and walked me through the process each step of the way. Went above and beyond mortgage broking and felt like he was assisting throughout the buying process. Even when I went to put an offer in, the listing agent specifically said “you’ve got a really good mortgage broker, he is really on top of things”. He was prompt, helpful and matched me with a strong lender. 10/10.

You should seek professional advice before proceeding to take out any equity release mortgage as it could impact your entitlement to state benefits.

How does equity release work?

An equity release provider will provide you with either a lump sum or an income in exchange for part of the value of your home. This is achieved either using a type of mortgage or by selling that portion of your home on the condition that you can continue to live there as long as you wish.

Consult with a professional

As independent advisers, we provide you with a written recommendation and will let you know if equity release doesn't meet your needs.

Completing the equity release application

We will then submit the equity release application. We will also introduce you to suitably qualified and experienced solicitors to assist with the legal side of the transaction.

Completion / Receive your money

Once the provider has completed their checks, the property surveyed and the solicitors completed the legal work on behalf of you and the provider you will reach completion. The funds are then released directly to you.

Provide funds to draw on to top up existing pension & savings income.

Typically as you retire your income drops, so by taking capital out of your property you can use that to pay for things and top up your income in retirement.

Reduce your inheritance tax liability.

By gifting early there are potential inheritance tax advantages. We can introduce you to an accountant who can confirm your potential options relevant to your own individual circumstance.
