How to identify the best Equity Release companies

Searching the market

If you want to identify the best equity release companies Bower advise you to take time to do plenty of research. We also recommend you get specialist, independent, professional advice and no plan should be entered into without this. 

If you are approaching retirement and considering ways of supplementing your pension, there are a number of options open to you. Bank loans and credit cards require credit and affordability checks whilst moving home can be an expensive upheaval. However, those who own their own home and are over 55 could consider equity release. 

Equity Release plans for over 55s

Bower are equity release specialists with over ten years of award-winning experience. They recommend equity release plans to UK homeowners aged 55 and over. Our expert advisers will access a variety of plans to suit different needs whilst taking into account a variety of personal circumstances. Some equity release companies that Bower have access to include Aviva, Legal & General, Canada Life, More 2 Life, Pure and Just.

At Bower, we are “whole of the market” advisers which means unlike some other companies, we are not tied to using one lender. So, what that means to you is, that we will find the best plan for you. We do this by comparing the entire market to find the most suitable product that meets your needs.
