Best Financial Solutions

My name is Tony Leonard and I’ve been advising on all types of mortgages since 1996, specialising in the later life planning needs of the over 55s.

    I have these qualifications – CertPFS, Cert ER and CeMap.

    I am a member of the Equity Release Council, SOLLA and the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries and am a Dementia Friend.

    I look at all later lending options:

  • Lifetime Mortgages
  • Drawdown Facilities for future needs
  • Further Advances
  • Review of existing lifetime mortgage plans
  • Retirement Interest Only (RIO) mortgages
  • Standard later life Interest only and Capital & Interest mortgages (To age 95)
  • Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor mortgages (using your income to help family, or their income to help you)
  • Buy to Let

    I look at lenders from the whole of the market, working for you rather than one lender.

    I offer advice on life assurance.

    I can arrange your Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney

    I can refer you to trusted experts for pensions, inheritance tax planning and home insurance.



Areas Covered
