Expert Advice.

Today I had occasion to contact Standard Life Home Finance with queries about our lifetime mortgage product. I spoke with Neil Masterson who with a very amenable disposition & friendly manner, explained our product & offered solutions that we did not know about. His advice was invaluable, which is testament to Neil's exemplary knowledge of the product and tailored solutions to our dilemma.
Hats off to him, Gold Star service!

Great Service from Standard Life

We contacted Standard Life on Weds 16th of July and asked someone in the Drawdown Dept if we could have také out funds to urgently replace a main door and windows that had become beyond repair. We received an offer on Tuesday 22nd July. Just had an email confirmation that the funds will be in our bank account on Friday 25th July. Can't get better service than that!! Thanks to SL especially Sam Carroll in the "Drawdown Team"
