Lifetime supports the Anthony Nolan Trust

Every year leukaemia devastates the lives of thousands of men, women and children in the UK. Many of these people will simply die if they do not find a suitable bone marrow donor.

The Anthony Nolan Trust takes back lives from leukaemia by providing lifesaving donors for patients in need of a bone marrow transplant.

1 We work for our clients not lenders or financial institutions

Our Professionally Qualified Advisers have considerable experience in the mortgage market.

Since our inception, we have been responsible for placing in excess of two billion pounds of mortgage lending.

We put our customers first and work for you, not the lender. We believe that good quality advice can only be provided by ensuring we have long-term relationships with our customers.

At any given time there are usually in excess of 4,000 mortgage schemes available to choose from. Lifetime will help you by researching the market on your behalf, saving you time, stress and potentially money! With the benefit of our experienced Advisers and our ‘on-line’ computer sourcing package, (which is updated daily), we will thoroughly explain all of your options.

2 Debt should be avoided if possible, but managed carefully if not. Everyone needs a sound foundation to their financial affairs.

Our Philosophy

  • You don’t want a mortgage – but you do want to own your house
  • A mortgage is potentially your biggest debt
  • A £100,000 mortgage will cost you over £200,000 over 25 years - (Based on Capital and Interest mortgage at a constant interest rate of 6.75%, the overall cost for comparison is 7.0% APR)
  • We will help you choose the right mortgage now - and make sure we tell you how you can reduce your mortgage over the term
  • There are 3 parts to sound financial planning:
    Debt – must be managed and reduced
    Aspirations – your plans for the future
    Foundations – without this you can’t manage your debt and your aspirations can be jeopardised
  • Why pay more on debt than you can earn on savings
  • If you were to suffer a heart attack would you want your debts to go away?
  • If you were to die today would you like to leave your home without debts?
  • If you lost your income tomorrow could you pay for your mortgage?
  • No house is built on sand – nor should your finances

3 A mortgage is a long term commitment and our aim is to be available for your changing needs throughout that time.

Our commitment to you…

We will continually review your mortgage and contact you regularly to ensure our chosen solutions and recommendations are appropriate to your circumstances. This means we will monitor the mortgage market and contact you at least twice every year to review your mortgage and insurance arrangements.

Your commitment…

Sound financial planning is based on tailoring products and advice to your current lifestyle and circumstances. This means that it is vital for you to let us know of any key changes in circumstances, for example; new job, birth of a child, looking to move house or planning home improvements. In this way we can ensure that your mortgage and debts are managed in a way that suits your changing lifestyle.
