Episode Six - The Importance of Taking a Holistic Approach to Later Life Lending

Episode Ten - If It Isn't Written Down, It Didn't Happen

In this episode of Purely in Conversation, our host Jane Mullan sits down with Phil Dockerill, Director at Equity Release Compliance, to unpack what good later life lending advice really looks like.  Phil shares why equity release should be treated as holistic financial planning rather than a product sale, how firms can prepare for regulatory scrutiny, where AI fits (and where it doesn't) in the advice process, and why the humble suitability report might be the most important document an adviser ever writes.  A masterclass in client-focused compliance from someone who lives and breathes it.  #PureRetirement #PurelyInConversation #LifetimeMortgage #EquityRelease #LaterLifeLending #RetirementPlanning #MortgageAdviser #FinancialAdviser #LaterLife #Podcast
