On Wednesday's Money Box Live, Paul Lewis and expert guests took your phone calls and e-mails.
This week the panel advised you about using the value of your home to generate extra income in retirement, what's known as "equity release". With house prices falling, is it becoming a less attractive option? Which products are available and how do they work? What questions should you ask providers? How much can you expect to pay in fees, interest rates and legal expenses? Will your benefits be affected? And if Equity Release is not for you, what are the alternatives? Where can you find free, impartial advice and information? Paul Lewis was joined by: • Sally West, income policy manager, Age Concern • Dean Mirfin of Key Retirement Solutions • Andrea Rozario, director general, Safe Home Income Plans Presenter: Paul Lewis
Producer: Diane Richardson
