What I can help with

Honest options for later life.

Lifetime mortgages

Borrow against your home while you keep living in it. Interest can be paid or rolled up, and you keep ownership.

Later-life and retirement interest-only mortgages

For many people a conventional later-life mortgage is a better fit than equity release. We will show you both.

Honest about the alternatives

Downsizing, using savings, family support or simply doing nothing. If one of those suits you better, we will say so.

Your family in the room

We encourage you to involve the people who matter. Clear illustrations, no pressure, and time to decide.
Sound familiar?

This is for you if you’re…

  • Aged 55 or over and own your home
  • Retirement income that does not stretch
  • Wanting to help children or grandchildren
  • An interest-only mortgage coming to an end
  • Home improvements or care at home
Good questions

The things people ask Sarah first.

Straight answers. If yours isn’t here, ask her directly.

With a lifetime mortgage, yes. You borrow against it and keep ownership. A home reversion plan is different, and we will explain the difference clearly before anything is decided.

Important information

Equity release may involve a lifetime mortgage or a home reversion plan. To understand the features and risks, ask for a personalised illustration. Equity release may reduce the value of your estate and can affect your entitlement to means-tested benefits.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The actual amount you pay will depend upon your circumstances. We will tell you the exact amount before you proceed.

Money, explained properly.
