My mother took Equity Release of £95,000 in 2005.
At present, the balance to repay is approx. £380,000 increasing by £20,000+ a year.
The property concerned is valued at approx £450,000
Given this outcome, she would never do it again. She feels upon her demise, there will be nothing left to leave her grandchildren.
Thank you to Dan Cook for trying to help us, to no avail.

Spoke to a number of advisors, not particularly a good experience and then found Joseph Withers - was like night and day. Professional, likeable and very transparent. Everything went smoothly.

Saul Andrew from Key recently helped my wife and I review our wills and make some important changes.
Saul was professional,knowledgeable,kind and friendly.
He guided us through what was,to us, a difficult and complicated procedure with understanding and great patience.The end result was exactly what we wanted to achieve.
We would strongly recommend Key to anyone looking to write their will or make changes and importantly to avoid all the possible pitfalls which can occur.

My journey with "Neil Clarke " was professional and knowledgeable. I was guided and informed throughout the process, step by step. I would highly recommend Neil to any person's, even if it was to have a conversation. I am so thankful that I was recommend to Neil by other happy clients. My journey went swimmingly.

This was the second time we have sought the advice of Key estate planners with will writing and power of attorney documents.
Tom Walmsley has been a fabulous patient guy. He explains well, highlights potential pitfalls and make very useful suggestions without applying pressure.
The phone helpline is also very helpful.
They make sorting out stuff that can be stressful to do as pleasant as it can be.
Would recommend them

I dealt with Neil Clarke throughout my equity release, my home was a thatched, listed property so the process was not easy. Neil's help, guidance, communication but most of all care, helped me through to a happy completion.
I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in the future, many thanks Neil.

I have found Key Equity Release a very patient and supportive company. After some clear explanations and guidance I feel much more confident that all paperwork will be completed correctly and returned in a suitable time span.
We covered other areas of interest during our call the company offered. Everything explained so clearly. Would highly recommend.

A big thank you to Tom Walmsley for his assistance in writing my will. He was patient and explained everything I needed to know about any possible complications which could arise. I would happily recommend Key finance to anyone wishing to draw up a will in future.

Our contact Tony Salter ensured throughout the process that we understood all the details involved and made what could have been a complicated procedure very straightforward. It was reassuring that we had a dedicated point of contact from start to finish. An excellent representative of a professional company, we had personal and caring service throughout

Our advisor is Tom Walmsley. We have found him to be very helpful and patient, explaining carefully anything we didn't understand concerning our Wills. He always called at exactly the time and date previously arranged which is a very rare thing these days and has been much appreciated.

Neil Clarke was very helpful and very thorough. He guided us through the whole process and kept us updated all the way, giving sound help and advice when we needed it. It was a long process made easier with Neil by our side. We will always be grateful for his help, and knowing he is only a e-mail or phone call away if needed in the future is very reassuring.
