Raising The Standard<br />
Chesterfield based Laterlivingnow, has become<br />
the UK’s first specialist Equity Release advisory<br />
firm to have 100% of its advisers attain the SOLLA<br />
Later Life Lending Advice Standard.<br />
This London Institute of Banking & Finance<br />
accredited award demonstrates an adviser’s<br />
understanding regarding client care in supporting<br />
older and potentially vulnerable people, and helps<br />
reassure clients, professional connections and<br />
other trusted consumer organisations that the<br />
adviser has reached a high standard of advice skills<br />
and applied knowledge.<br />
Simon Chalk, MD of Laterlivingnow and SOLLA<br />
Advisory Board Member commented;<br />
“To think that our small family-owned company,<br />
based here in Chesterfield – Derbyshire, is the first<br />
in the whole of the UK for all of its advisers<br />
to attain the highest possible level of<br />
professionalism, is a huge achievement.”<br />
“Homeowners over 55 deserve to be advised by<br />
the most dedicated professionals, as it’s a big step<br />
to take and requires a high level of skill and<br />
knowledge from their adviser.”<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>e Finnerty – Joint Chair of SOLLA (Society of<br />
Later Life Advisers), said;<br />
“We introduced the Later Life Lending Advice<br />
Standard in response to advisers wanting to demonstrate<br />
their applied knowledge and understanding<br />
of later life lending and its wider implications<br />
and considerations when advising older clients.”<br />
