Many retired people will face the dilemma of how to survive on their income whilst they have thousands of pounds locked up in their property. The average person over the age of 70 lives in a property worth more than 82,000* yet many scrape by on a state pension of 69** per week. Although they will not want to leave their homes or forfeit their loved ones' inheritance, they may be wondering how they can supplement their income.
Many people will be tempted by equity release schemes, but unsure about which one (if any) is suitable for them. IFA Promotion is offering these people some general guidance in the form of a free factsheet - Equity release, the ins and outs of unlocking money from your home. The factsheet gives clear and simple information about how to raise capital from your home and outlines the positives and negatives of the various equity release schemes.
David Elms of IFA Promotion commented, "Most people imagine their retirement as a golden period when they can live in relative comfort and realise their life-long goals. Sadly though, without a salary and often relying solely on the state pension, their dreams may be unachievable.
"An equity release scheme can be the answer but the decision cannot be taken lightly. Our factsheet provides the reader with basic information for each product available so they can approach their IFA with a better idea of the scheme that might best suit them."
