The specialist equity release advisers who are part of the division will be able to select the appropriate product for the client from every Safe Home Income Plans (SHIP) approved scheme on offer in the market.

“Realising a small amount of the equity in property can mean the difference between people remaining in their home or being forced to spend the rest of their lives unhappily elsewhere. But receiving the expert advice on how to do this is paramount.”
