Mortgage Broker Offers New Equity Release Advice Service
Author: Amy Duckworth , 23 June 2008.
Norwich-based independent financial adviser, Alan Boswell Group, has expanded its mortgage advice services, by offering advice on equity release schemes (including lifetime mortgages and home reversion plans). Heidi Nuthall, senior mortgage consultant in the
IFA division at Alan Boswell Group has recently completed the last stages of her Advanced CeMap (Advanced Certificate in
Mortgage Advice and Practice). Attaining this qualification requires that a
mortgage consultant has extensive knowledge of the ever-changing mortgage environment, including regulated
equity release and commercial mortgages.
Independent Advice on Equity Release
Heidi was very keen to obtain this qualification as it is formal evidence of her
mortgage expertise and also allows her to provide independent advice on regulated
equity release schemes including
lifetime mortgages and
home reversion plans.
Due to its specialist nature and the need for appropriate qulaifications, advice on
equity release products is not available through all
mortgage advisers. But it's an area of
financial planning with increasing relevance to clients aged over 55 years.
Those looking to enjoy their retirement often need access to additional income or a lump sum - either for their own use or to give as a gift to a family member.
Equity release may be a suitable and viable option in these circumstances.
"Perfect Solution"
Heidi Nuthall explains: “With more people wishing to ‘live’ during their retirement and not merely survive, the
equity release market is continuing to grow and is the perfect solution in certain circumstances”.
The Alan Boswell
mortgage advice service offers clients access to the full spectrum of
mortgage products and markets, of which
equity release is an important component.
For further advice on
equity release or to arrange a consultation with Heidi Nuthall, call 01603 218381 or use our
mortgage enquiry form.
IMPORTANTThis is a
lifetime mortgage or
home reversion plan. To understand the features and risks of a
home reversion plan or
lifetime mortgage,
ask for a personalised illustration.
