Money Matters 


Want to get more from your retirement?


We’d all like to make the most of our retirement. However, with the cost of living continuing to increase, you may find that what was a comfortable income is simply no longer enough.


Fortunately, there is a way that you can cover your needs and


enjoy the retirement you are looking for. If you own your own home, you can release some of the money tied up in the property without having to move. It’s called an equity release plan.


An equity release plan, would give you the opportunity to


convert some of your home’s value into a lump sum or regular income, without having to sell up and move house.


What can equity release be used for


Equity release is a way of increasing your retirement income and can be used to help you: z Repay debts and reduce your monthly outgoings z Clear your mortgage if you don’t have a repayment strategy z Take a well-earned holiday z Boost your income to help cover the effect of inflation on your cost of living


z Improve your home z Help your family


Equity release is not the only way you can raise money and other options may be more suitable for you, so the right advice is important. We can help you assess your current needs and circumstances, and work out whether equity release is a suitable and viable option for you.

Our qualified and experienced advisers will guide you through the options and identify the products most suited to your requirements. If appropriate, we will recommend the right equity release scheme and provide a personal illustration to let you know how much money you could raise and what it would cost. If you are in receipt of any state benefits we can also let you know whether they will be affected.


Equity release may involve a lifetime mortgage or a home


reversion plan and may not be right for everyone. It may affect your entitlement to state benefits and will reduce the value of your estate. Think carefully before securing other debts against your home.
