    There's not quite enough information in your post.

    Can you confirm the amount of rental income you receive per month?

    Also, is the £30K per year you are looking for after tax?

    Regarding your OH's DC pot of 30K, at what age can she take this (with no reduction)? And at what age if she will accept a reduction?
    Regarding your OH's new dc pension (at 67 4kpy from this) - why does she have to wait until 67 for this DC pension? Did you mean it was a new DB pension with a normal retirement age of 67?
    Is the M&S pension DB or DC, and is paying £6K a year, or is it a pot/transfer value of £6K?
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    Why 65? If it's a personal pension you could presumably take it now. Would there be penalty? How big?
    Free the dunston one next time too.

    DB therefore presumably contracted out of SERPS/S2P for part of career?

  • Penalty is to large to take early
