I wanted to take out a Lifetime Mortgage with Equity Release to pay off my existing mortgage, and to have the ability to draw down some money should we need it in the future. Looking online was very confusing as there are so many companies to choose from, and that meant I didn't know which was the right way to find the best deal tailored to our needs. Thankfully, somebody I work with, and trust their judgement, recommended Andy Pike of Responsible Equity Release to us. He is local to where we live, which was a major plus to me. From our first meeting, I knew he was the right person to proceed with. He didn't go for the 'hard-sell,' but listened to what we needed, and tailored his advice accordingly. All the way through the process he has guided us, which means we were able to build a relationship with him, rather than him just being a salesperson. I cannot recommend him highly enough so, if you want the best advice on the way forward with a Lifetime Mortgage/Equity Release, look no further than Andy Pike

What more can we say. Thankfully, we found Andy through Equity Release Council. He is a nice guy, being very professional, thorough, and easy to get on with, leaving no stone unturned when it came to finding the right company, offering the right package to suit our needs. Made everything so simple and arranged everything in record time. Could not have done it without him. Thanks Andy.

It was very reassuring to have somebody of Andy Pike's experience to guide us through the whole process of equity release. Without his advice and knowledge we would have struggled to make the right choice for us. The entire procedure went through very smoothly and promptly. We would most certainly recommend Andy to anyone requiring this service.

Initially I wasn’t sure if equity release was right for me, but I saw an advert in our local monthly magazine for Responsible Equity Release and decided to contact Andy Pike for further information. I am so glad I did speak to Andy as he has a friendly and considerate approach in a professional manner and was extremely easy to deal with. He explained what equity release is and he looked into my personal circumstances to see if this was right for me and what other options were available. There was no pressure put on me at all and I had plenty of time to think about it before making a final decision. Once I had agreed that this was the best option for me Andy took me through the whole process stage by stage and I was kept informed at all times. I would definitely recommend Andy Pike and Responsible Equity Release to anyone considering equity release in the future. Thank you Andy for all you help and advice, greatly appreciated.

Andy Pike was from start to finish of our dealings extremely helpful. He expounded the business of Equity Release, the details, the possibilities, the drawbacks, the necessaries, with great clarity. And kindness. We were impressed by his kept-up attention, the smoothness of the exercise, and the speed of the process. From our point of view a happy result. And thanks entirely to him.

We were at a time in our lives where we were looking to enjoy a comfortable retirement but sadly realised that our financial position was not as strong as it could be. We were interested in the idea of Equity release as over the years we had built up a significant asset in the form of our property. At this point we spoke to Andy Pike from Responsible Life who was able to undertake an unbiased and comprehensive review of our situation and make some life changing recommendations from a wide selection of products across the market. This would enable us to enjoy the later years of our lives on a much firmer financial footing without having to downsize and the leave the environment, neighbourhood and home we were so comfortable with. Andy Pike was very personable and easy to deal with, fully understood our situation and requirements and at all times was wholly professional. His helpful and well informed guidance made the entire process stress free and very straightforward. We are now in a much stronger position and can look forward to the coming years with a much higher level of financial comfort and security. We can, without hesitation, thoroughly recommend Andy Pike, Equity Release, and Responsible Life. Thanks Andy.
