Hi, I’m Barry, Independent Equity Release Adviser with Equity Release Supermarket, and a member of the Equity Release Council. I’m based in Wiltshire, and I offer face to face, video and telephone advice to clients across the UK.
I've been involved in financial services for over 30 years and have a wealth of experience. I pride myself in giving an honest professional service and using my expertise to find the best solutions for my clients, while making things as simple and straight forward as possible.
Having previously served in the Army as a musician, I still enjoy playing music. I am married, have two daughters and three grandchildren, and “Bertie” a goldendoodle who keeps us fairly fit. I have trekked in the Sahara desert; and to the top of Kilimanjaro. If you ever get the chance, I would definitely recommend it.
Helping you achieve your goals, whatever they may be, at a time in life when you should be able to relax and make the most of life, is very rewarding not just for you, but for me as an adviser too.
Modern equity release plans are flexible with many options available, which helps me to search the whole of the market and tailor exactly the right plan to meet your needs. This makes it more important than ever to speak to someone who is experienced, knowledgeable, ethical and understanding.
Modern equity release plans are flexible with many options available, providing valuable guarantees and protection for your family, and include features such as being able to pay some or all of the interest if you wish to, and being able to set aside funds for the future without having to pay interest on them until you use them. This makes it more important than ever to speak to someone who is experienced, knowledgeable, ethical, and understanding.
I am proud to be part of a fresh thinking, dynamic and award-winning company - Equity Release Supermarket. We have a friendly approach and want our clients to fully understand the options available without feeling any commitment or pressure to proceed. That’s why all initial advice is without charge or obligation and can take the form of a simple brief chat on the telephone, or a face-to-face appointment in your home, or simply asking a question by email, whichever you prefer.
My philosophy is quite simple; to consider your personal circumstances and discuss all of the options available including some that don’t require you take out any sort of plan and help you to make the right choice. If I don’t think Equity Release is right for you, or there is a better alternative, I will tell you. I have helped many clients to improve their lifestyle and enjoy retirement, and it all started with an initial conversation with me.
Remember “Life is for living, whatever your age”!
I look forward to helping you.
