Moneyhelper gives you generic pricing.   It gives you an idea.  But if you have health and/or lifestyle enhancements, then you are better looking at an IFA to do it.   Of if you want annuity options that are not quoted on moneyhelper.

General advice on here is that you will get better rates from an IFA due to rebating of commission etc.

Age Partnership is a decent site as well. You have to give some details though if you don’t want them calling you then just be a little less truthful with your number.

Is that £9.2k after taking a £62.5k TFLS or is the whole £250kcbeung converted into (taxable) annuity?

it was the whole £250k being converted   (at £9.2k pa there would be no tax to pay anyway)
