Evadne: I started looking at lifetime mortgages because my younger son was living with me. He’s always wanted to get on the property ladder but has never been in a position to save up enough for a deposit. So, I started investigating to see how I could help him. I spoke to a couple of financial advisers and the name that kept coming up all the time was Legal & General, so I thought well it’s got to be worthwhile talking to them to see what they offer. 

I’m in the third adventure of my life, the things that I do in my third adventure is: I teach drama and communications, but I also teach actors voice work which, is something I’m passionate about. The love of my life is a little dog called biscuit, she makes me laugh every single day of my life, she’s quirky, she’s a bit of a diva and she’s also a bit of an actress. Weirdly, they do say we’re like our dogs, yeah, I think that might be true.  

While I was taking out the lifetime mortgage I thought, I’ll get money for James,  and I thought you know what, I need a new lounge and there’s a couple of holidays I promised myself and that’s what I did and I’m quite happy with that. 

The lifetime mortgage has ensured that my son, now feels secure. That is worth more than any money, anything in the world, I’m so happy he feels that way and I’m very happy I was able to do that for him.
