Equity Release Offers: Avoiding Pressure Selling and Getting Specialist Advice Before You Decide

About Course

Equity release lets homeowners in later life take money from the value of their home. It can suit some people, but it is a big, long-term decision that reduces what you leave behind and can affect benefits. This course explains in plain English how equity release works, the protections to look for, the signs of pressure selling and copycat websites, and how to check you are dealing with a properly authorised adviser.
