Retirement Income | Equity Release For Retired

Retire & Relax

Reaching retirement age should be your time to enjoy the fruits of your labour, relax & fulfill the activities you set your heart on.

However, for many the financial impact of retirement can result in these plans remaining pipe dreams.

Well, here are some questions to think about:

Is your retirement income lower than you'd like it to be? Do bills seem to be rising faster than your income? Would you prefer to have that peace of mind in retirement? Would you like a lump sum to spend how you choose?
We are all aware that in recent years, one asset that has increased substantially in value is your property.
However, that's of no use if you can't access the money tied up in your home.

A possible solution to these issues can be addressed with equity release from your property.
The great benefit with these schemes is the freedom to spend that extra money on anything you want.

We have listed below how our customers have put to good use their newly found financial freedom: -

Fund home improvements e.g. conservatory, windows Pay off a mortgage, loans, credit cards, bills Treat yourself to a special holiday Buy a new car or caravan Maintain or improve your lifestyle income Gifts to your children for a house deposit etc Purchase a 2nd property such as holiday home Cover private medical care costs Reduce any potential inheritance tax liability Finance a move to a house of greater value Purchase annuities to increase retirement income Just to be able to afford life's little luxuries

*Alternatives to equity release that you should consider are:
Downsizing to a smaller property to release cash Ask your relatives for financial assistance Arrange an interest-only mortgage or personal loan Using existing savings or investments Apply for any State benefits Seek home improvement grants, if appropriate

Please bear in mind that if you are currently receiving means-tested state benefits, your entitlement to them could be affected if your circumstances change and your income or savings increase.

To ensure that your equity release mortgage does not affect your means tested benefits such as pension credit or council tax benefit, then speak to a Equity Release Supermarket lifetime mortgage adviser who is trained in advising on such matters. They will recommend how a release of equity can benefit you financially without affecting any Dept of Work & Pensions or local authority benefits.

Additional information on retirement planning issues and equity release options for pensioners that are an age concern can be resolved by seeking independent specialist advice.
