If you're over the age of 55, equity release offers you a way to use the value of your home to raise money.
There is a range of equity release schemes available on the market offered by reputable equity release providers, and they fall into two main categories, Lifetime Mortgages and Home Reversion Plans.
Each type of equity release scheme facilitates a different method of releasing the equity in your home, and there are various other useful features available to create the ideal equity release scheme for you. Alternatively, our recommendation may be to use other forms of finance once we have assessed your situation.
A LIFETIME MORTGAGE IS A LONG TERM COMMITMENT WHICH COULD ACCUMULATE INTEREST AND IS AGAINST YOUR HOME. EQUITY RELEASE IS NOT RIGHT FOR EVERYONE AND MAY REDUCE THE VALUE OF YOUR ESTATE.
THIS FORM OF LENDING IS MOST SUITABLE FOR THOSE OVER 65, HOWEVER, IT’S POSSIBLE TO DO THIS IF YOU ARE OVER 55. IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THESE ARE LIFETIME MORTGAGES AND TO UNDERSTAND THEIR FEATURES AND RISKS, YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE A PERSONALISED ILLUSTRATION

The main purpose of Life Assurance is to provide money for those people who may depend on you financially, in the event that something should happen to you. These people could include family members or business partners.
A suitable policy pays out a sum of money when the person who is covered by the plan dies or suffers a serious illness. The money is intended to pay off any outstanding debts and support your dependants financially by providing them with a further lump sum or a regular income.
Please be aware that this type of assurance is based on an assessment of the health of the applicant.
THE PLAN WILL HAVE NO CASH IN VALUE AT ANY TIME AND WILL CEASE AT THE END OF THE TERM. IF PREMIUMS ARE NOT MAINTAINED, THEN COVER WILL LAPSE.

Most of us face being taxed on our income, our capital gains, and in some circumstances the value of our estate when we die.
Taxation can be very complicated and the rules, reliefs and allowances often change, so it is worth obtaining a clear grasp of how these taxes work by discussing with a professional adviser the most efficient way to arrange your finances.
An expert will be able to help you plan your taxes in advance, and come up with effective strategies that will use the lawful reliefs and allowances to minimise the amount you have to pay.
TAX TREATMENT IS BASED ON INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE IN THE FUTURE.
INFORMATION IS BASED ON OUR CURRENT UNDERSTANDING OF TAXATION LEGISLATION AND REGULATIONS. ANY LEVELS AND BASES OF, AND RELIEFS FROM TAXATION, ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Health Insurance is probably one of the most important types of insurance you can own. Without it, an illness or accident can have serious long-term financial implications for you and your family.
Most people will be aware that Health Insurance can cover the cost of private medical treatment for any acute conditions you may suffer in the future. However, there are a number of other types of health-related insurance policies which are worthy of serious consideration including critical illness and income protection cover.
INCOME PROTECTION PLANS THAT HAVE NO INVESTMENT LINK HAVE NO CASH IN VALUE AT ANY TIME AND WILL CEASE AT THE END OF THE TERM. IF YOU STOP PAYING YOUR PREMIUMS YOUR COVER MAY END.
CRITICAL ILLNESS PLANS HAVE NO CASH IN VALUE AT ANY TIME AND WILL CEASE AT THE END OF THE TERM. IF PREMIUMS ARE NOT MAINTAINED, THEN COVER WILL LAPSE.
PLANS MAY NOT COVER ALL THE DEFINITIONS OF A CRITICAL ILLNESS. THE DEFINITIONS VARY BETWEEN PRODUCT PROVIDERS AND WILL BE DESCRIBED IN THE KEY FEATURES AND POLICY DOCUMENT IF YOU GO AHEAD WITH A PLAN.
