Very good
Michael Dilucia08/07/2023My equity release application had been rejected 3 times when I was referred to Peter at Later Life. He was extremely thorough, patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. He helped us with every step of the application and explained everything clearly and patiently. We finally succeeded in getting the equity release we wanted. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their service goes above and beyond. Very happy customers!Sherry Izadi08/07/2023Paul has been a rock throughout the most traumatic time of my life. His patience has been endless as I was clueless about my financial complications after the death of my husband. I recommend his services to anyone out there needing his advice and guidance.Hazel Franklin20/10/2022Paul Murphy was superb in sourcing and arranging my lifetime mortgage and his professionalism was second to none. I would recommend him without reservation.Tony Holloway31/03/2022Paul did a first class job helping me secure a great rate for my equity release proposition. I like the idea of equity release but at the right rate Paul was competitive and at the expense of his own commission made it happen. I really felt I was the focus not him. The big firms with the fancy marketing were almost twice as much in terms of all- important compound interest. I highly recommend Paul, he works for you, not 'them'. I also felt safe with the solicitors he recommended, they too sent a first class guy who was a pleasure to work with. Equity release is not cheap, it's vital that people like Paul work for your best interest (pun intended). What price can you place on the latter peace of mind having financial security brings. Highly delighted.Mike Murray31/03/2022We have used Paul's services twice in just over a year. Initially it was to change provider as better interes rates were available. On the annual review it transpired that no early repayment charges would be levied. Being a Yorkshire man l searched for best rates, providers and advisors and it was back to Paul. I have no loyalty where money is concerned but transparency, knowledge and reliability are paramount. That's exactly what we got. Good service, excellent communication, expedience and saved money. Second time around not even a direct fee to pay for the service. Another provider did come up with an option however their fees were somewhat prohibitive, when l brought this to their attention they offered to slash the fee. Not good practice. So after all the waffle. I have no reservations in recommending Paul's services.Anthony Grey08/09/2021We had reservations about Equity Release plans and approached a number of leading companies. Glad we settled with Paul Murphy and Responsible Life. He was patient and personable and guided us through the process. We received a most professional service, never felt under pressure. The plan is now in place. Excellent communications throughout. No hesitation, would highly recommend Paul. Jw.Jeffrey Wade07/01/2021A truely excellent service from Paul. From the moment we made contact with Paul he provided clear balanced advice supported by any documentation we asked for. We researched the market at the same time, independently, and it was evident Paul was offering a very competitive product that met our needs exactly. Paul’s speed of communication was outstanding, by e mail or phone, and we literally had replies within minutes. An extremely professional and friendly service and we were delighted Paul secured the deal we wanted. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paul’s expertise, advice and resultant product suggestions to anyone considering these financial products. Thank you!!Priors Bob26/12/2020Brilliant service from this company! Paul was so helpful all through the process and made everything so simple to understand! Thank you Paul, you are a star! Would definitely recommend!Alice Froggatt08/11/2019

Can you be refused Equity Release in London?
Whilst mainstream mortgages are income and affordability based, equity release lifetime mortgages are not, meaning the chance of being refused equity release is very slim.
Lifetime mortgages applications are based on the age of the homeowner and the value of the property. A valuation of your home is carried out and this determines whether the application will be successful.
Non standard properties can be refused equity release, along with properties near commercial premises, or in poor condition.
If your home is standard construction in good condition, there is little chance of the application being refused.
Equity release on flats is fairly common; as long as an acceptable lease is in place and there are no lending issues noted above, refusal of equity release is unlikely.

Is there a credit check for a lifetime mortgage in London?
As part of the application process for a lifetime mortgage, the lender may check your credit report.
Since lifetime mortgages do not have mandatory repayments, any missed payments on credit are not necessarily an issue for lending.
If you have any defaults or CCJ’s on your credit agreements, the lender may require these to be settled.
Any secured lending must be settled as part of the agreement as a lifetime mortgage is the first legal charge on the property.
