“How much equity you can release depends on your age and how much your property is worth. Finding out if this is the best option for you is best done alongside a regulated and qualified adviser.
Having been a qualified mortgage adviser for over 20 years, I took the ERC1 qualification to advise in the Equity release market. In addition, by becoming a member Equity Release Council, I can guarantee that the quality of the Equity Release products and advice is governed by the industry code of conduct.”
Steve Colbourn
Many people are reaching retirement age only to find they don’t have the financial freedom they expected. Many have a large portion of their wealth in property but are understandably reluctant to leave their long-term family home to release this money.
Whatever your dreams, that missing piece of your financial needs could be locked up in your home. Equity Release allows you to access the value of your home and turn it into money you can spend as you wish.

KNOWLEDGE Industry Experts
Did you know our team of advisers not only requires industry-regulated qualifications to provide advice, but must complete regular continual professional development to prove their industry knowledge is up to date?
We don’t stop there – we ensure that training is rolled to our administrators too, and encourage them to sit the regulatory exams to further their own development and bring on the next generation of qualified advisers!

What our customers say…
We didn't think a house purchase [for our parents] would be possible due to being in their latter years and not currently home owners.
"I cannot thank you for what this means to them and us as family Steve. For as long as I can remember my Mum and Dad have worried about what would happen to them with the cost of renting in retirement- but to now see them with that worry lifted, and an opportunity to enjoy their retirement by the sea happily in their own home - this means more to me and my sister than we can ever say.
