Why do you I need specialist equity release advice?Due to the long term nature of equity release and the fact that the Financial Services Authority regulates the marketing and advice given on regulated equity release schemes, you must first get advice from a regulated and specifically trained adviser. Indeed most providers only accept enquiries and applications through a qualified adviser although a limited number do employ their own in house qualified advisers. Whilst you can get this advice from a single company, as the rates and features of plans offer between companies varies, and there are a wide range of schemes available you may prefer to get impartial advice from one of the independent advisers listed on our service. To seek out the type of advice you would like search our database for advisers and select either independent or single company representative. Equity Release products are lifetime mortgages and home reversions plans. To understand the features and risks, ask for a personalised illustration. |
