Compliance issue with Equity Release application
Comments
-
We are looking for equity release to pay off our existing mortgages as explained :-
We want equity release as our current mortgage (interest only) is in four parts, one has already come to the end, one finishes in November, one next February and one in five years time so we need to pay off them all in one hit. Our financial adviser has told us to ask the Building Society to defer the first three parts of the mortgage to the end date of the fourth part i.e. 5 years time, but the whole point of having equity release was to allow one of us to retire and still keep the bungalow.
Our financial adviser has told us to contact another firm of financial advisers - Just RetirementSolutions to see if they can help. What difference will this make?
We are now losing the will to live - good job we don't have a gas oven!0 -
Why not continue working for a while longer and reducing the mortgage debt you owe. Before dropping to one salary/income.
If your mortgage repayment is £1,000 per month. Sounds as if you've still a sizable amount of mortgage debt outstanding.0 -

It means your financial adviser is not authorised to do equity release. So, they are referring you to Just Retirement (a product provider) to do it for them.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
or its a spam postDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0
