When it comes to unlocking a cash lump sum from your home, you can’t be too careful about choosing who you go to for advice. A great starting point is speaking to a family member, friend, neighbour, colleague or anyone else you know who has taken out an equity release plan.
Why? Because they will be able to share their individual experience with you, perhaps recommending the adviser they used. They will be able to talk you through their journey, which could be particularly useful if you aren’t sure where to begin.
After talking with your family or friends, the next best step is to seek independent advice from a retirement lending specialist like Bower. If you are considering an equity release plan then here’s why customers recommend Bower time and again to their own family and friends…
