Michael Hodgetts CeMAP CeRER

Mortgage, Protection and Equity Release Advisor

Having run my own business as a Tree Surgeon for the best part of 10 years, starting a family prompted a career change and I joined the family business. I gained qualifications in Mortgage Advice and Practice (CeMAP) and in Equity Release (CeRER) and took up my new role in 2016.

Understanding a client’s circumstances and requirements is key to giving the best advice and is the first step in our process. My past experience helps and our research tools allow us to search the whole of the market to find the most suitable Equity Release products.

Happily married to Jenna and proud father to a son and daughter most of my time outside of work is spent relaxing with my family, helping at our children’s Nursery and following Tottenham Hotspur (!)

“Mike made what I am sure could have been a complex and convoluted process run extremely smoothly and efficiently. Every aspect was explained in a clear and concise way and we felt complete confidence in the whole process. The net result is that our daughter and family have been able to get on to the housing ladder, we are hugely grateful for the possibility to do this”.

"We chose Lighthouse Platinum for our equity release and were advised by Mike who took us through all that we needed to know. A very pleasant young man who patiently listened and answered our questions and in our opinion gave us expert advice. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him".
