ollowing many years of being locked away in a dusty cupboard marked 'break open in an emergency', equity release has finally emerged from the shadows to become a genuine product of first choice for many. 

The rapid growth that the market is enjoying looks set to continue, thanks to a generation of property owning baby-boomers determined to enjoy their leisure years, being met by a raft of new funders and providers competing for their custom. 

In a session presented by Simon Chalk (Technical Manager of Equity Release at Age Partnership and Adviser Representative on the Equity Release Council's Standards Board) and with a nod to Kipling's Six Honest Serving Men poem, you will learn;

  • What a modern equity release client looks like
  • Why equity release should be considered in every client scenario
  • When to introduce equity release into a client discussion
  • How to write profitable business
  • Where the opportunities lie in your own client bank
  • Who to turn to for support
Speaker(s): Simon Chalk, Technical Manager, Equity Release for Age Partnership
