Retirement Plus launches joint venture equity release service

Retirement Plus has announced the launch of a joint venture equity release service with the Stroud & Berkeley Group, Gloucestershire Primary Care Trust and specialist independent broker AWD Chase de Vere Wealth Management Limited. The promotion advertises equity release advice on posters and leaflets in hospitals and care centres throughout the Bristol area. If this service proves successful then further areas will be rolled out.

Duncan Young, CEO of Retirement Plus said: “At Retirement Plus we are dedicated to raising public awareness of the whole equity release market. Many people know very little about equity release – what they need is clear, concise information and independent advice. To help augment their understanding we are drawing attention to the fact that equity release can be very useful when it fits with a person’s special circumstances; in this case funding care.”
