Responsible Life Reviews 

Dave Long explained everything clearly, professionally and honestly. He made us feel very at ease.

From initial contact, Responsible Life provided an excellent service in securing our equity release mortgage. Dave Long, our advisor, was prompt, but never pushy, and was extremely thorough in providing all the information we required, weighing up the various options. Every stage was documented in both email and letter format. We appreciated his professionalism, but also that he was so friendly and approachable. We are confident, too, that he will continue to offer any advice and guidance we may need in the future.

My application was not the simplest and Mike managed to find a mortgage for me
His compliance was thorough
The questions he asked were relevant
He provided back up all through the process
I would recommend using him
Lifetime mortgages are huge step for older borrowers and I think Mike would guide an applicant through the process fairly without a 'hard sell'

From the moment we met Paul Hood, we felt safe and confident with everything that we wanted and needed to know regarding releasing equity from our home. From our first meeting which took place at our home, Paul explained the procedure, listened to our needs and said he would find us the best company and lifetime mortgage to meet those needs. We chose Aviva as it offered everything that we wanted (we were adamant that we wanted to pay the interest each month)
The whole process only took 4 weeks and Paul explained and answered any questions we had thoroughly, patiently and professionally.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Paul to anyone looking to seek advice regarding equity release and he made what to us was quite a daunting scary prospect into a pleasant successful outcome.

Sharon, my Equity Release advisor, was incredibly helpful and patient through out the lengthy process. She gave me in depth information guiding me through each stage, and highlighted the cons as well as the pros, making sure I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. At no time did I feel pressured or hurried along. Releasing equity from ones home is a large and important decision, Sharon was invaluable and extremely helpful throughout.

Paul was very calm and knowledgeable and I never felt he was trying to persuade me. Once we had discussed my circumstances and need, he made me rethink my options once he had explained all of the "routes" for me. Followed up with good information and forecasts and allowed me to come up with the conclusion.

Having been advied by Just Retirement to consult a finanial Richard Austenadviser, I chose Responsible Life (Rl) as they had given excellent service in a a previous consultation. This time the advice was equally good and my advisor Richard Austen gave very good guidance and was generally prompt and proactive through the application process even though JUST could be slow through some stages

We were impressed with the service we received from the company when we first approached them and were happy to return to them when we decided to apply for a further advance, and we were equally impressed with the service we received on this second application, it was quick and accurate and with clear information to all queries.
We were very pleased to be dealing with Richard Austen who was as helpful and knowledgeable as our first experience.

I felt supported and informed by David La Haye throughout the entire process. Some aspects of my case proved to be quite challenging but all my questions were answered promptly and David would check with the solicitors and relay the info back to me almost immediately.
A previous company I talked to were quite condescending to the point of rudeness but David was always courteous and reliable. Equity release is a huge step to take but everything was explained so that I could understand. I would not hesitate to recommend this company. Thanks to all involved.

The advice was helpful and the mortgage process went smoothly from start to finish

This was such an easy process stress free aswell .
I would recommend for anyone thinking of going down this route.

Everyone was extremely helpful and talked us through the whole process, queries were dealt with efficiently and professionally. Would definitely recommend to others.

Paul Hood gave us full and frank independent advice about our Aviva equity release mortgage, and our wish to secure additional funds
He visited us at home, and then approached Aviva to ascertain if they would consider a further advance
Aviva eventually agreed to this, and with Paul's perseverance, it has now been completed
We cannot speak to highly of Paul, whose help has been invaluable
