David Cole - Equity Release Specialist

I have been working in the Financial Services industry for over 35 years putting the client at the heart of everything I do. I provide quality advice and world-class service to meet my client's needs.

​I have experience of working within the mainstream mortgage and protection industry but after gaining CeMAP and CeRER qualifications with distinctions I moved into the role of Equity Release Adviser.

I have many client reviews that are testament to the outstanding customer experience that my clients receive from me on each and every occasion. As an Equity Release Adviser, I have helped hundreds of customers to utilise the equity in their home in order to achieve their goals, aspirations, and to enjoy a better quality of retirement.

I am engaged by Viva Retirement Solutions and am proud to work for them as the company’s morals and ethics mirror my own and the company is highly regarded within the market and industry. I have also been listed in The Times in 2023 as a top adviser which is an achievement I am immensely proud of.

Outside of work, I try to focus on my health and fitness and enjoy the lovely home I share with my fiance Debbie and our one-eyed cat Rocky! My other interests include listening to a wide range of music with my favourite artist of all time being Elvis Presley. I also love watching films and have a massive collection across many genres, my favourites being thrillers and horrors both old and new.

Before we started our Journey into Equity Release we looked at many companies providing this service. We choose David Cole. David Cole, took us through the process step by step and was always at the other end of the phone if we had a query. The other team members who dealt with other areas of the process gave us the same support. Everyone was professional and patient. There was quite a lot of paperwork but it was clear and easy to deal with. And here we are now. Life is as normal except for COVID. We are able now to complete our wish list with the extra funds. A BIG Thank You to David - Tom Tyne
