The Pianoman 1,531 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 As I have no heirs I have briefly looked at it. I am not going to leave the house to anyone so I am going to have the money for me! Key Retirement, that are always advertising on the tele are the biggies but I had better advise, and I felt better generally dealing with The Age Partnership. They all seem to be affiliated with Aviva, who are also advertising on the tele now. The percentage that you can take out increases the older you are or special arrangements can be made if you are terminally ill. I am neither terminally ill or do I feel old enough yet to do it so I have gone no further. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 If you've no-one to leave it to then it's a matter worth considering. As long as you can be guaranteed security of tenure for your remaining years then you might as well reap the benefits of the investment in your home. Obviously it will be less than the property is worth. Shop around and see what offers you get. Although there will be a fee it would be well worth seeking the advice of an independent financial advisor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,712 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Same spivs that sold you the money to buy your home. Now want to get it back off you for buttons. Your shout.. but... Seriously.. if you need cash, is there any legal way you can get your kids to provide it in exchange for all of, .. a share of.. your property? I don't know the answer. Just asking. I have very little cash money. But then I owe nobody. My kids don't expect to inherit my house. It will be nice if they do... but they aren't counting on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
