“My mother’s solicitor referred me to 55Plus Equity Release. Our adviser arranged to meet with my mother and me in her home and spent considerable time explaining all of the various options in detail, ensuring that we both fully understood the detail and commitment of each type of mortgage available. She was extremely thorough in checking my mother’s particular circumstances before arriving at a recommendation, which exactly fitted her requirements.

This was a big step for my mother, but our adviser was very patient in her approach, and at all times took care to ensure Mum didn’t feel pressurised, but that she felt happy to proceed. She also took time to explain ancillary issues such as the effect on beneficiaries and explored the possible effect on other state benefits which Mum receives.

I would confidently recommend 55Plus Equity Release to others in similar circumstances who would require a clarity of approach with a friendly, pleasant manner.”

“We wanted an equity release mortgage to buy a new car and carry out some home improvements. We had already taken out a scheme previously with 55Plus, so we had no hesitation in going back to them a second time. They’re good, honest and explain everything clearly – and they got us a good rate! – so we knew we would be in safe hands.
We discussed the equity release mortgage with our children and had their approval. I’m 70 now and you never know what’s around the corner. Our view is that it’s nice to enjoy things while we can, and the equity release mortgage enables us to do that. We’re sitting on £600,000 of property that is all paid for, so it makes sense to release some of that value to make life easier and more enjoyable.
The whole process was really simple. 55Plus guided us through the process, explained it well and made it very easy. They kept us updated at all times and kept other people on track to keep the process moving. I would definitely recommend them.”

“We had work to do on the house as we wanted to do up the conservatory, as well as going on a big family holiday to New Zealand. So, we decided to release some equity to pay for it. We’d never done it before and 55Plus made it really easy for me.
Our adviser explained everything really well, so that we were both happy and described all the pitfalls involved with releasing equity – which was really nice because we knew she was being transparent; we really trusted her. She made the whole process flow and answered any questions I had quickly. She made the whole experience easy.”

We used later life lending to clear our debts
“We are both very happy with the decision to use equity release to repay debts to free up disposable income. We got very good advice and help from 55Plus and would recommend them to anyone looking into equity release.”

We used equity release to help our loved ones
“I wanted to release equity to provide funds for my grandchildren’s future as a form of inheritance tax planning and 55Plus helped me do this. Our adviser explained everything to me; I myself am an accountant, so I was already aware of quite a lot of what she was going to tell me, but nevertheless it was good to have my thoughts confirmed and the various possibilities and pitfalls explained to me. We very quickly got on well with the 55Plus adviser and they then supplied us with quotes and recommendations and we eventually made our choice.
I would recommend 55Plus to others. I was fully satisfied with the service I got and have absolutely no reason to doubt that they would provide anyone else with anything but a first-class service.”
