Customer Testimonials

Julia A

My mother has dementia. With my solicitor and my power of attorney, I got equity release on my mother’s house to pay for specialist modifications for her comfort. The loan amount was spent very sensibly.

Mrs L from Nottingham

I had to pay a valuation fee and a solicitor’s fee, but no lender or broker fees for my lifetime mortgage. As I was divorcing my husband of 30 years the money went to him for his share of the house. I am happy now as I am secure, and I do not need to move from my home. Santander Retirement Mortgages were great for me.

Ms T from Hammersmith

My husband recently died leaving me with a mortgage I could not afford to pay. The lifetime mortgage allowed me to pay off the mortgage and have enough money left over for a new bathroom, kitchen, and roof repair.

William from London

I was told by my lawyer my inheritance tax bill would be around £250,000. Santander retirement mortgages was what I used to give money to my son and daughter so they could buy bigger homes and we bought a house in the south of France for us all to use as a holiday home.

Mr Smith from Kendal

My financial advisor told me that I should get equity release and gift money to my 5 children now as it would save a massive amount of inheritance tax.

Mr G from Kent

I got an interest-only lifetime mortgage and gave my sons £100,000 each so they could put a deposit down on a home. My money made it possible for them to get a very good mortgage deal, especially one son who is not well paid.

Sandra from Manchester

I got an equity release to give money to my daughter to buy a house. Without the money I borrowed, her buying a home would have been impossible.

Mrs V from Hastings

I had spent my life running up credit cards and loans then getting interest-only mortgages to pay off the debt. I got to retirement age and still owed the bank £160,000. The term was about to expire, and I could not afford the payments on my pension anyway. I got a £180,000 equity release and now I am more comfortable with no monthly repayments and I spent £20,000 on a new bathroom and kitchen. I now know I can stay in my home.

Mrs. E from London

I was advised to get equity release from my East London home to minimize inheritance tax. My son and daughter used the money to pay down their mortgages. The interest rate on the equity release was so low it was close to their mortgage rate. It won’t effect my means tested benefits.
