The number of people aged 60 or over contacting StepChange to ask for help has risen by 36% since 2009. Rising living costs and extremely low savings rates may be putting pressure on your monthly budget. Releasing money from the value of your home could help but is Equity Release really suitable? Are there other ways to raise money and would you be better off moving to a smaller property? Will Equity Release affect your existing benefits or tax position? How much will you have to pay in legal and administrative fees? What interest rate is applied? Or perhaps you've been attracted by a cashback advert? Who can give advice and what qualifications should they have? Whatever your question, call 03700 100 444 between 1pm and 3.30pm on Wednesday or email [email protected].
