If you’re considering equity release in Plymouth and the surrounding areas, you’ll likely be inundated with adverts from companies all over the country offering you advice and calculations. Knowing who to turn to can be tricky, but this is a decision you’ll want to get right when it’s your hard-earned property wealth involved.
At Mewstone Equity Release, we understand that releasing equity is a deeply personal decision, and as much about the numbers on a page as it is about your home, your future, and your freedom later in life. This is why we are proud to offer a genuinely local equity release advice service, led by an award-winning equity release adviser who understands both the local market and the concerns of homeowners aged 55 and over.
Here’s why using a local equity release adviser can make all the difference.
1. Understanding of the local property market
With equity release, the amount you can release is based on your age and the value of your home. Given that property values can vary hugely from one area to the next, even within the same city, the funds you may access from equity release therefore vary significantly depending on where your home is located.
Using a local equity release adviser means you can feel certain that the advice you’ve received is actually relevant to the property market here in Devon and Cornwall, rather than relying on national averages or assumptions. Our local insight means that we give advice based on realistic property values and lender expectations, allowing you to plan more effectively for the future and consider whether equity release could play a part in it.
2. Support close by
Equity release is not a decision that you should feel rushed into; in fact, it’s a legal requirement that you must receive advice from a qualified professional before proceeding. However, the quality of this advice can vary significantly depending on the provider, and you will also want clear explanations and time to ask questions along the way.
By using your local equity release adviser at Mewstone Equity Release, you can be certain that support is close by and accessible, whether that’s through face-to-face meetings or simply knowing that you’re dealing with a real person in your local community. Our approach is built around taking the time to help you fully understand how equity release works, and having a local adviser on your side gives you the peace of mind that this support is never far away.
3. Personalised advice
Whereas national firms typically deal with huge volumes of clients on a daily basis, your local equity release adviser can take a much more personal approach. After all, no two homes are the same, so advice should never be generic either.
We can take the time to give you the personalised advice you really need when releasing equity and make recommendations based on your long-term goals and genuine suitability. Whether that’s through helping you consider how equity release might impact your inheritance and/or means-tested benefits, or by finding a product that allows you to make payments flexibly, Mewstone Equity Release will give you the personalised approach to equity release advice that you really require.
4. Ongoing support
We understand that circumstances can change in the future and life can throw curveballs, both positive and negative, that may change your financial needs in the future. You should never be left feeling like you’re locked into an equity release product that isn’t right for you anymore, but a local approach to equity release advice means you don’t have to.
We’ll make sure that support is always available in the future to review your circumstances. Long-term thinking is central to the Mewstone Equity Release approach, and you can trust that we’re never far away should you want to revisit things.
