Perhaps you would like to fund home improvements, lifestyle enhancements or that dream holiday. Maybe you need cash to supplement your income, pay off debts or to help your children onto the property ladder. Equity Release can be the route to all of these financial goals, as it unlocks the money currently tied up in your property.* We would be happy to discuss your situation in confidence, and without charge or obligation of any kind.

“Just wanted to put in writing my thanks again for the help and advice that you provided to both myself and my Mum when we came to see you recently. The advice you gave allowed my Mum to see that there was a light at the end of the tunnel and that she didn't necessarily have to move out of the family home she had spent her working life trying to pay for, you explained everything to her in a language that she could understand and the options available to her. On Mum deciding to go ahead with equity release you went the extra mile for her in sorting out the paperwork and pushing it through as quickly as possible. With your help Mum is well on the way to being completely up to date and despite her initial misgivings about equity release (due to the bad press it received a while ago) is completely happy with this way forward and I would recommend anyone thinking of equity release as an option to speak to you to get the facts. Thanks Kevin. ”

Staying in the family home

A widowed grandmother whom I met, had lived in the same house for 35 years. Her pension income just covered her living expenses, so, over the years, the house had fallen into disrepair.

Visiting family in Australia

I met a retired couple in Southampton, both of whose children had emigrated to Australia. They had not seen them for five years, and they had never even met one of their grandchildren. They simply could not afford the flights.
