Testimonials

We wish to thank you for the exceptional way you dealt with our recent Equity Release drawdown.
You gave us a clear path that we should follow and carried out all of the stages in a very professional way, keeping us informed at each step. You dealt with us in a very empathetic way,
Keeping in mind our age and the exceptionally stressful situation we found ourselves in.
We would recommend you to anyone in a similar situation to ours.
Once again many thanks for all the help you gave us.

It is a long held belief that you should borrow as much as you can for as long as you can, the rationale being that, over time, house price inflation will wipe out the debt. Being of a certain age, the term of any conventional mortgage becomes increasingly limited and so to be presented with so many options through the Canada Life product made it a ‘no-brainer’. Sincere thanks to John for introducing this product to me in an entirely professional and informed manner.

I don’t think that we would have got a mortgage without John. He was highly efficent and always dealt with issues promptly. After a couple of false starts due to our circumstances, our third mortgage application was approved four days after the application was submitted and that saved our purchase which was on a tight deadline. So a big thank you to John and we highly recommend his services.

I cannot thank John enough for helping my husband and I start to get a grip on our finances. Like many people we have a mortgage and had not really thought about things. We just paid it without thinking. Life events – my husbands ill health made us take stock. Firstly John helped us with our home mortgage and now he is sorting out our buy to lets. He has been so helpful and really made sure we knew what we were doing. No pressure and each step clearly laid out with time for us to think things through and ask questions. The lifting of the stress it had been causing is great and I feel in control.

John was extremely professional and helpful, particularly when a surveyor from the first company approached would not provide a value as it was deemed an adjacent property was commercial. Within a very short period John had alternate providers lined up and the whole process went very smoothly indeed.

John was very helpful and guided me through the process, made sure that everything was going along as it should.
I would recommend him to my friends.

I cannot recommend John highly enough to anyone looking for mortgage advice.

Very professional and pleasant to deal with. John took great care to make sure we got the best deal and even nudged our solicitor along to ensure we didn’t miss our deadline before the rate went up. Highly recommended

John was brilliant during all phases of our equity release process. Clear, supportive and above all : quick to react to all our various Queries.

Always a pleasure working with John informative trustworthy patient I don’t think I could trust anybody else !

From the very first meeting I knew that John would be on my team. He is thoroughly professional but with a light and approachable touch.

Thank you, John, for all your hard work.

I can highly recommend John Whyte 100% ….
He is patient, explains in full if you don’t understand he will make it simpler to understand. He will NOT leave you wondering what he was talking about. He was never ‘pushy’ in anyway in fact he was the other way making sure WE were happy with the transaction. John was very quick with replies and was always at the end of the phone. Because we are not really ‘techno bods’ everything was done the old fashioned way through the post or even hand delivered.I only wish more people were like John. Thank you

John Whyte was the only financial adviser who was able to source a company that was willing to provide equity release on my property due to its location. He was extremely easy to deal with, and was helpful and supportive at all times. He made the whole process straightforward, and even managed to find a solicitor that provided this service in my part of the UK.

I am so glad I contacted John Whyte to guide me through equity release. He made it a very straightforward process and ensured I had a good understanding of what I wanted to achieve and how to do it. Very professional and approachable and responsive. Thank you John I am very happy with the outcome. Highly recommend John.

John is one of the most professional people that I have ever had the good fortune to meet. His attention to detail is outstanding and he always gives off his best. After being given some wrong advice by another company it took longer to sort out my business with John than it would the average person. This was not John’s fault. However with Johns help and diligence in guiding me through what was an absolute quagmire I managed to achieve my goal and I have gained confidence in myself to sort out problems. Thank you John for all your hard work in what was a very difficult case.

John was extremely professional & helpful throughout the whole process
It was a pleasure dealing with him. John made the whole process very simple. I would willingly recommend him to my friends for financial advice.

Absolutely first-rate service from John.
His expertise is outstanding and related advice so clearly communicated.
John’s attention to detail and his go-the-extra-mile monitoring of the process, made it stress free.
Overall it was a pleasure having John lead for us.

John is the ultimate professional, both in advice and approach to whatever problem you throw at him! Have already recommended him to friends, will definitely be going back to him when the time comes to re-jig!

John was extremely helpful. He explained all the details of equity release very clearly . we would recommend him.

I would publicly like to THANK John for his tough persistence and tenacity in seeing the job of an equity release on my property through. It would not have happened without him. For a number of times I was close to giving up, no longer have the energy or powers of concentration to be dealing with the legalistic minutiae or sheer incompetence of a number of the parties involved. However his polite probing, discreet phone calls, checking that all the i’s were dotted and t’s crossed kept the applecart moving and a successful completion. Undoubtedly a good person to have in your team.

John guided us through the process every step of the way and made it stress free. He gave us invaluable insight to help us make an informed decision. John’s knowledge in this field is second to none and we couldn’t recommend John highly enough.

I have recently had dealing with John Whyte regarding Equity Release. John to me through the whole process explaining everything in detail and answering my questions. There were a few hiccups along the way, but John dealt with these in a very professional way and kept me informed. John went above and beyond and I have no hesitation in highly recommending John Whyte.

With John’s help over a two year period we have managed (finally!) to complete a long term plan to raise a lifetime mortgage secured against our “downsize” home. There were difficulties to circumvent. The property was a new build apartment which we had committed to purchase at the “hole in the ground” stage of a large apartment development. Although that matter had been dismissed as “no problem at all” by other advisers this did turn out to be a real problem in practice – a problem which was further compounded by long delays in the build programme due to pandemic effects on materials and labour availability.

Eventually we had to raise the cash to complete the purchase of the property by liquidating our income generating savings – but we then found, even as 100% owners, that we were still getting multiple rejections from Lifetime Mortgage providers (all of them – as it turned out!). It was John who discovered the cause of these setbacks – a combination of an obscure effect of unintended implications in the drafting of the 1988 Housing Act and the proposed level of ground rent defined in the lease of our downsize property. (This problem should have been discovered by our solicitor before we signed the contract of course – but it was not)

Using his effective relationship with lifetime mortgage providers John managed to persuade a provider to amend their standard lending terms to allow our application to proceed – which I understand is virtually unheard of.

With John’s help we have now completed the final stage of our “later life” financial plan – a lifetime mortgage secured against our “downsize and forever” new home. This has released the cash we had raised to complete the purchase and income streams can therefore now be restored. And we can get on with enjoying the rest of our lives.

If you are considering taking out a lifetime mortgage and seeking an independent adviser with a wide knowledge of the market and with a dedicated application to your requirements (even if these might turn out to be not as straightforward as was expected – as was our case) we would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending John as an excellent choice.

John provided us with a first-class service despite a particularly challenging set of problems.

His friendly and clear approach was refreshing, and his focus on us (the customer) was always apparent during some frustrating setbacks (which were completely outside of his control).

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him.

John came highly recommended by a family member; He is extremely professional and very thorough; we had several face-to-face meetings to ensure the mortgage offers were right for us and kept us updated on the progress right through to completion.

This is the second time that I have used John. I was able to cancel the original Equity Release mortgage and renew at a substantially reduced interest rate. The renewal was complicated by a restriction on the Land Registry and other problems. John acted efficiently and professionally in assisting in the resolution of the difficulties and was always available to guide and reassure. I would have no hesitation in recommending him. I did so in 2016 and I have pleasure in doing so now.

We recently dealt with John and would highly recommend him. The transaction went smoothly and efficiently. He gave us such great and friendly service and we felt really looked throughout the whole process. Definitely five stars!

We approached a Lifetime Mortgage with a lot of uncertainty, having spent some time looking up reports and analyses, pros and cons and all manner of comment pieces. It seemed a very daunting process.

Finally we contacted John Whyte and we could not have made a better choice.
He talked us through all the legalise and jargon, pointed out all the plusses and minuses and at the same time made sure that he understood exactly our situation and reasons for the mortgage.

There was no hard sell. On the contrary, he encouraged us to look at all the options and made sure we understood them.

He was at all times clear, friendly and helpful.

Thank you John for guiding us successfully through a process which we had initially approached with such trepidation.

We would be happy to recommend his services to anyone considering a lifetime mortgage.

I would like to thank John Whyte for the very thorough, brilliant and professional service he carried out for us. I was kept well informed all the way through the process and any problems were sorted out without delay. I would not hesitate to recommend John to family and friends.

I was recommended by a friend, who had used John’s services and it was one of the best recommendations , I have ever had.
I was dreading the process but John took time too explain and give me all the facts I needed to make my decision. It was a seamless process and John was always great at coming back to me , if I had a query. Nothing was too much trouble.
I am so pleased I found John… I might of taken equity release earlier, if I knew what great service I would of received!

I have to thank John for the help and support for guiding me through the process
of Equity Release, he made it a lot easier when I have a very bad Solicitor.

John Whyte was recommended to me by my lawyer. I would like to thank John for all his help and guidance which enabled me to finally find the ER deal that suited my situation which was complex, difficult and stressful. His calmness in the eye of the storm was very reassuring and he was always hands on and reacted promptly, clearly and efficiently to all the queries I raised during the process.
I will be recommending John to any of my friends or family that require assistance to put together a suitable Equity Release Mortgage. John, you are a credit to your industry.

Thank goodness we had John Whyte as our broker. Our recent experience with getting Equity Release would have been a nightmare had it not been for John’s dogged persistence. I would give him 5 stars any day. Thank you John

We thank you greatly, and it has been a pleasure working with you and being able to rely on you, and we would certainly have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who requires an efficient and friendly financial adviser.

I cannot recommend John Whyte highly enough. I am a 78 year old widow living alone and needing extra money for essential home repairs, etc. John patiently and professionally explained everything about equity release to me and answered every question that I asked.

John was amazing every step of the way he helped my parents through the process of equity release and made it as stress free as possible, i can not recommend him enough and am grateful for his help in making my parents lives that much easier.
Thank you

John originally arranged an Equity Release for my wife and myself a few years ago and handled everything in a quick and efficient manner, and now after 55 years of marriage and sadly living alone, I decided to take as much equity as possible out of my house.
Taking out a second equity mortgage seemed to throw up every possible hurdle imaginable. John, completely unperturbed, ploughed on in his inimitable and determined manner, finally locating a suitable provider and monitoring the progress of the solicitor he very knowledgeably recommended.
To sum up, John has been the ultimate professional and did absolutely everything to ensure the success of the transaction.
Thankyou John.

John was recommended to us for his specialised knowledge in the Equity Release field by another professional. We are so glad we followed that advice. Throughout our house purchasing process he was helpful, informative and always friendly. Complications arose on the house seller’s side causing the conveyancing process to become prolonged. However, John not only remained patient and guided us through the stages for securing our loan but he was also proactive in communicating with our solicitor to minimise delays. It was largely due to his perseverance that the the deal was completed successfully. We cannot thank you enough, John, and will happily recommend you to anyone seeking ER advice.

John was so amazing, throughout the whole process. He is so professional and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. There were a few sticking points along the way, but John was literally there chasing everybody, to get the transaction concluded. Without him we would definitely still be going backwards and forwards!. I would highly recommend John everyday of the week.

Just completed second mortgage guided throughout again by John Whyte. Great expert in his field, and endlessly patient and helpful in securing a really good deal for me. Can recommend him totally. Thanks John.

I first contacted John around 5 years ago about equity release and without fault he has continued to provide upto date market information and support until i finally this year completed my equity release.
I would not hesitate in recommending him and i will definitely contact him for any future requirments.

First contacted John a couple of years ago for advice which he gave making sure I understood everything. This year I contacted him again regarding equity release and again he was very helpful, made sure I understood everything and kept on top of the transaction. I would recommend him.

John was recommended by a friend. He was knowledgeable and friendly whilst advising and supporting my mortgage application. He kept me well informed of the process and was proactive in chasing the lender.

Professional service throughout, excellent support, patience and guidance during the whole process. Advice given was honest, open and easy to understand. We would highly recommend John to anyone – moving is a stressful business, but with the service that John offers it is so much easier!

It was so nice to be able to deal with someone direct who, let me assure you, has his clients best interests at heart. My equity release had a few delays because of COVID but John was always checking and getting back to me to try to hurry things along. I would and have recommended him to others as equity release can be a tricky field to navigate but John made it all so clear and easy to understand.

We had originally tried to use a well known national provider to switch our mortgage to a life time mortgage. Due to an issue with the property the national provider broker said they would not be able to assist.

This didn’t sound right to us so we contacted a more local person, John Whyte who listened to the situation on phone and agreed to come round to the house. After having a look round John disagreed that there was an issue with the property and sure enough survey and valuation went through exactly as John predeicted, John was even spot on with the valuation of our property and in our case he also managed to find a life time mortgage product that had a lower interest rate than our existing mortgage!

John is very professional and competent at his job, he managed a potentially tricky sitaution for us with ease. We also changed our life cover through John to more appropriate products saving a bit in the process.

Many thanks John.

A very professional service. We were guided through with great care and understanding, enabling us to proceed.

John was very approachable from the very first time we spoke and he continued to be extremely professional and very reliable. We were so happy to have had John assist us with the equity release. WE genuinely highly recommend him. Thank you John.

John very kindly took over the job of arranging our re-mortgage at short notice. He provided a hassle-free service and bearing in mind the added difficulties presented by the Coronaviras, he managed to get everything arranged within the timescale. An excellent service all round. Thank you.

John provided excellent service with utmost professionalism. All aspects of equity release were clearly explained and no matter how small my queries were John dealt with them promptly.. His friendly persona made the whole process of equity release very easy..

John is extremely helpful. and made me feel confident throughout the whole process. Despite all the complications posed by the Covid pandemic he managed to keep me focussed and on task.
He turned out to be a real “friend in need” . What’s not to like?

Thank you John for the advice and time given to make sure I had the right product in releasing money from my house and allowing me to enjoy the equity now . Even with the covid pandemic going on things progressed smoothly and I would not hesitate to recommend you.
Thank you again

John Whyte was recommended to see through my instructions to obtain a lifetime mortgage and it proved to be sound advice as John has directed all parties involved,ie solicitors etc, to a speedy conclusion with funds available within eight weeks with constant updates through emails. He was also readily available on mobile for assistance, hence further recommendations will follow.

From the very first contact Jean and I felt that we were dealing with an experienced professional, not just someone selling a service.
All the steps and the alternative options were clearly explained and everything happened as predicted.

A very professional and pro active approach. John provided great service whilst arranging a life time mortgage (equity release) when we moved house. Every thing was crystal clear and ‘no problem’. He also helped to move along the legal conveyancing of the house purchase. A thousand thanks John.

Thank you John for your excellent service throughout our recent transaction with your recommended Equity Release provider. It was a demanding transaction at all times and without your service we would have given up.

John was extremely knowledgeable and professional and guided us through the process. He was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him.

John was very professional and polite and respectful all the time. We would recommend John to others.

As others have said, one of the pleasures of dealing with John, was that at no time did we feel we were being pressurised into making a decisions. He explained all the options open to us, the pros and cons of Equity Release and Lifetime Mortgages. Would highly recommend John.

John has helped me before and is so efficient I rely on him , not only to tell me when my mortgages are needing to be renewed, but also in finding me the best deals. Thank you

“I was first introduced to John in October/November through my daughter’s Financial Adviser. He visited me with my daughter present to explain what was involved in releasing equity in my property – I had recently been bereaved and did not wish to move house at the present time.

He was very pleasant and the whole discussion was clearly set out as to what was involved and he explained the various stages of the procedure. This was all conducted in a very relaxed fashion – no hard sell, no pressure. We finally agreed on how much equity I wished to release and he set the wheels in motion. I had various papers to find – some of which were available to him there and then – others would be needed further along the line. He advised that I would be hearing from my solicitor and that the financial side would be handled by the recommended lender.

I duly received an acknowledgement from solicitor followed by an appointment with a firm of solicitors near to my home in order to have my identification verified. This was all satisfactory and I was advised that I would received confirmation of my acceptance before Christmas. This I received on 22nd December and the funds were in my bank before the new year. This could not have been easier or executed more smoothly and John was the driver behind this satisfactory conclusion – I enjoyed working with him. There was no pressure (as with double glazing agents!) I wish him well for the future and now I just have to spend my money!

For the second time John has provided a fantastic service always working in the best interest of his clients. I would highly recommend him.

John made the process of equity release so easy, keeping in contact every step of the way. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for equality release or mortgage advice

Many thanks for handling our Equity Release, it was a pleasure to discuss this with you and receive your advice. From our meeting on 16th October you made us feel at ease and explained the whole process so that we fully understood everything.

You’re monitoring and input has guided us through the application and you have handled everything most efficiently on our behalf and made this so easy for us both.

The solicitors that you recommended Ashford’s were most efficient in dealing with everything on our behalf and the whole process since or first meeting on 16th October was completed within 5 weeks to the day.

That’s what I call excellent service from start to finish.

The service and expert advice I received from John was superb. He was most supportive in every way during the whole process from start to finish, which was greatly appreciated.

John was recommended to me by a friend many years ago and I’m glad they did. Since then we’ve contacted John when in need and nothing has been too much trouble. His honest approach to business is refreshing and he always works in your best interests.

John was so so so patient with helping get an equity release that was just right for me.. John was very knowledgeable & was very patient. Thank you John.

I would highly recommend John he helped us with our remortgage, John is extremely good always there nothing is ever a problem he has given us an excellent service, John it’s a pleasure to do business with again.

John has been of great help to us as we negotiated equity release. His advice helped us to see our way through quite a complicated choice. He has always been very professional helpful and there when advice was needed. We will recommend his services to others.

From the beginning, John has gone out of his way to be accommodating to our needs. Quick response times, helpful service and continual follow up after completion. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a mortgage product.

We found John to be extremely helpful in guiding us through the process of equity release,explaining everything clearly and being at all times available and helpful

We have had John’s vastly valuable help both with an initial buy to let mortgage and a recent remortgage. He actually saved us a few thousand pounds by correcting my misunderstanding regarding a tie-in period. He is straightforward, helpful and persistent. I would recommend his services to anyone

John is an experienced and knowledgeable individual who goes out of his way to go the extra mile. We are very grateful for all that he has done for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Elaine and I were very impressed by John’s expertise and the way he took us through the process of equity release. He made the whole experience very comfortable. We would recommend him to anybody.

I would like to thank John for all his help with our equity loan. He made the process so easy, I would have no hesitation in recommending John, I will certainly use him again.

John and I are extremely pleased and grateful to John for everything he has done for us. We have recently taken out an equity loan, our circumstances not being straight forward he found a way through for us. I would especially like to thank John for all his patience with all our questions. We would definitely recommend John to any of our friends and family who could use his services. Thanks again John for all your help, we really appreciate it.

We were really impressed with the care and support that John gave us during the whole house purchasing episode. When one house fell through just before the 31st March and the new Stamp Duty levy was due to be introduced, he was very quick to sort a new mortgage and ensured we had it in place to complete just before the deadline saving us a considerable sum. I will definitely be recommending him to my friends and using his expertise in the future. Thank you.

John was recommended to us by a member of the family to help us sort out our first mortgage. We had waited 10 months for our property and John was with us every step of the way. Not only submitting our initial application and getting it approved by the lender, but also submitting a further application at no extra cost 6 months later when the first one expired. I am pleased to say that we completed on our property on the 31st March before the stamp duty changes took effect. John constantly provided us with updates on rates, lending criteria and obviously the changes to stamp duty. He is very personable and happy to answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend John to anyone considering taking out a mortgage. Thanks for your help and advice John!

I cannot recommend John highly enough in respect of my equity loan. John was very efficient throughout and kept me fully informed every step of the way. As my circumstances were not straightforward John guided me all the way through in a professional and friendly manner. Thank you John

I had used John a few years ago for a mortgage and so I knew he was very good. I did not realise how good! I was working on a very tight deadline as I had to exchange and complete in 7 weeks from the time that I had an offer accepted on my house. During this time John had to organise a mortgage and a remortgage and with one or two blips on the way (my issue – overvalued my flat for the remortgage). We were able to complete before the 1st April deadline. He never stops pushing on your behalf and is just a really nice person to deal with. He does not accept any pfaffing so you need to be quick with him but he always has your best interests at heart. I would highly recommend John as your first port of call for mortgage advice!

John was recommended to me by a work colleague, I wanted to purchase a but to let property. I was very impressed in the speed in which John was able to get the mortgage approved & also John’s forward thinking in anticipating what information would be needed next by all parties involved. I wouldn’t hesitate to use John again & would recommend John to anyone who wants a quick efficient service. Thanks for your help John

It was a pleasure to have someone working with me who is very knowledgeable as John Whyte. He did a very good job for me, excellent service and always there when I needed him and when things got tough he was always there on end of the phone. Many thanks John.

John was recommended to us to manage our equity loan. There’s no doubt that without him my wife and I would never have made our way through the various applications requiring attention.

John Whyte handled our re-mortgaging extremely efficiently. He kept us advised at every stage and we would thoroughly recommend him. He has an extremely good personality and sense of humour – a pleasure to deal with someone who was ‘on the ball’ but in no way ‘pushy’.

We found John almost by chance but are so glasd we did. His service is personal, responsive, efficient and always knowledgeable; he proved to be a breath of fresh air when other advisers fell short and a trustworthy guide to an an often confused and confusing situation. Highly recommended.

John has advised my for many years now and has recently helped with our re-mortgage enabling us to start our extension on our house. will always recommend John to anyone who needs similar advice.

I’ve been using John for over ten years now. He’s brilliant, even though I could probably wade through websites myself to look for mortgage deals, he not only comes up with the best deals but he makes the whole process stress free. I’m always passing his details onto friends and family, he’s worth every penny.

John has advised me for over five years now on my original Equity Release and subsequent top ups. I find him both knowledgeable about products available in the ever-changing market as well as an understanding of my particular circumstances. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone starting on the quest for Equity Release or indeed finding a better offer later on.

John was recommended to us by our Financial Advisor as we were interested in obtaining Equity Release. He was extremely helpful & explained everyhting very clearly. Everything was dealt with very professionally & it was a relatively ‘pain free’ experience! I would definitely recommend John to friends/family for any mortgage matters. We would most definitely use John again if the situation arises.

John was recommended to us by another mortgage broker who was unable to deal with our circumstances which involved equity release and buy to let mortgages. We found john very friendly and easy to talk to and that is important when dealing with quite complicated financial matters. He is also very knowledgeable about financial matters and is able to explain things in laypersons terms. We are only part-way through our financial maze, but we are feeling very confident that John has his finger on the pulse and will not let us get ourselves into trouble. John seems more concerned with giving good advice than making a “quick buck” and we hope to be working with him regularly as our property portfolio grows.

John recently helped us organise a new mortgage as well as associated policies for building insurance and life assurance when we moved house. He secured us a great deal, dealt with the bank extremely efficiently and sorted out an extension when our house purchase encountered numerous delays. We were extremely busy with work and having two young children had little time to spare so John was great talking things through on the phone and email and came to visit us at our own home. He explained the policies clearly and was really friendly. We would definitely recommend John and will continue to use him when the policies are due for renewal.

After much stress of dealing with different individuals to assist us in the mortgage process John was suggested to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to assist us in this process. Being a first time buyer we needed to be guided by an informed individual and we feel that John gave us the time and assurance we needed to make the correct decisions at such an important time in our lives. We would highly recommend John to anyone who needs a supportive and efficient individual in this important process.

It was very nice dealing with John, He made everything run smoothly for me and kept me up to date with every stage as it went through, I would recommend John to anyone that needs professional help with a mortgage.

As a first time buyer, John was excellent at talking me through the buying process. He was extremely supportive and I felt I could trust him. He was always quick to respond to any queries I had. He always thoroughly explained everything to me and his knowledge and experience were invaluable to me throughout the buying process. I would recommend his services to anyone.

Close to the deadline of my mortgage end, absolutely rushed off my feet with work, useless with my money and organising myself, I rang John in a desperate plea for help. Within hours John called and told me he would take it off my hands and find me the best deal. He was totally flexible and met me at my convenience at my work, which was so helpful and accommodating considering it’s no where near where he is based. I felt really comfortable going through all my finances with him and that he genuinely wanted to find me the best deal. He also didn’t try to sell me various products which so many Financial Advisors do. He found me a superb mortgage in no time at all and basically took the stress and weight off my shoulders which was invaluable to me. I would highly recommend John to anyone that needs genuine, honest, professional and personable help when finding a mortgage.

It’s always a pleasure dealing with John, we are always reassured that he is getting the best deal for us and we feel that we can ask him any questions which he always answers satisfactorily. We would 100% recommend him and wouldn’t want anybody else to deal with our finances.

We had great service from John, he helped us with each step of our mortgage application, and was always available to support us. We were really able to trust him, which is so important with this sort of thing. I would definitely use him again.

I found John to be a very pleasant man. He was very patient and understanding he treated me with a great deal of respect. The decision I made on the day was what suited me in my circumstances. John presented me with facts and figures on how to gain equity release from my property, this helped a great deal I was able to compare the money side without any hassle in my own home. So pleased John was recommended to me, everything was made easy.

1st class service from John, helping us through every stage of our application. He was attentive to our position and took time to explain each element. I would defiantly recommend and use again

We were relieved John Whyte took over our mortgage enquiry when our last adviser put us in a difficult situation. John is very professional and knowledgeable. He was happy to listen to our needs and answer lots of questions. He is meticulous with everything and our mortgage application was agreed first time. Without John it would not have been possible for us to move house. We have already recommended to friends and family and we will definitely be using his services again in the future.

John was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and I would definitely call him again for advice in the future. I would also recommend him to others.

Because our equity release was for medical purposes timing was crucial. John worked tirelessly to achieve in three weeks what would normally have taken three months. Throughout the process, whenever I had a query, John was ahead of the game and it was already sorted. A sensitive and understanding man who gives 110% every time, I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Our equity release was fairly straightforward but John has handled every stage impeccably. More importantly, I feel confident that should we or more importantly my wife, require future advice, there is someone we can rely on. Many thanks.

As soon as I met John, I knew he was the right person for the job of guiding me through equity release. He is always there for you, either on the end of the phone for any queries, and by returning e-mails promptly. It has all gone through and I am very happy and would have no hesitation in utilising John’s services again in the future. Thank you John for all your patience and help to me.

I requested advice from the right equityrelease, and John whyte arrived on my doorstep at the appointed time. After advising me against the need for equity, he was fully supportive when he realised I was determined to have it. He was patient and clear with all his explanations, and the whole thing went through without a hitch. I would recommend John to anyone with a mortgage/equity release query.

John is a lovely man, easy to understand, efficient and reliable. His intervention when we were on a low has changed our lives so much for the better. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Jim

Thanks to John for managing our challenging application! Our re-mortgage went through very smoothly and we were very pleased with the result. John was very supportive and his communication first rate along the way. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others and will most definitely use John again for our next venture!

Thank you John for all your help, guidance and perseverance with our recent remortgaging. It was great that you kept us informed the whole way and we could not fault your service in anyway. We will not hesitate to recommend you. Thanks again joe and Nanette.
