Susan and her husband John would describe themselves as an active couple. Having been in their home for over 30 years, the idea of selling was not an option. The pair wanted a financial boost and that’s how they came to consider equity release.

Susan told us how she and John had heard a range of horror stories about equity release, but once they spoke to our team they discovered that equity release was the right step for them, and the stories were due to misconception.

We’ve got absolutely no regrets – it’s one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

If you need a cash boost, don’t rule out equity release before looking into it – you’d be surprised at how flexible it can be.”

Having no one to leave their home to, Cyril and his wife decided that equity release was the right financial solution for them.

With the cash released, they were able to carry out a range of home improvements and even bought themselves a new campervan.

Mr Barrett commented: “We’ve wanted these things for a while but we wouldn’t have been able to do without releasing cash from our home.”

 

Dennis originally took out equity release after learning about Key Retirement through an advertisement in the Telegraph. He was happy with the service and plan he received, so when an adviser contacted him with the chance to review his plan he decided to go ahead.

By speaking with Key again he was able to get a better interest rate, meaning considerable savings for his estate.

The new plan means he’ll be able to save money and have something to leave behind for his two children.

Speaking about his experience, Mr Bailey said: “The whole process was very smoothly handled in a highly professional and courteous manner.”
