The Free Money Advice Service has been setup by the government to provide impartial advice on most financial matters but is particularly good on Equity Release.
Equity Release is a minefield but a necessary minefield! Get it right and older people can raise money on their property - potentially allowing them to afford to stay in their homes for the rest of their lives. Get it wrong and they can accumulate an enormous debt and effectively disinherit their children as the finance company claims their home in order to repay the accumulated loan when they die. The link below may help you decide whether this might be a useful route to go down. However just as importantly consider using a financial adviser.

Mortgage Brokers
Janet Hall - The Mortgage Lady
115 The St, Crowmarsh Gifford, Wallingford OX10 8EF, UK – 0330 999 1955
I have been under the professionalism and expertise of Janet and Tim for around 10 years now. They've dealt with me with speed and explained things to me in a way that was easy for me to understand. Even though i had tricky requests at times, and complicated mortgage advice needed, I have always received a truly personal and friendly supportive relationship at all times. I have always got the product I needed at the price I wanted and felt secure that my circumstances and house were in the best of the hands and it's why I've never needed to look anywhere else for mortgage advice. Janet and Tim and her ever expanding team are stars and I'd highly recommend them to anyone needing a mortgage!
Janet and her team did a great job for us, and made the whole house-buying/mortgage process a lot less stressful. It was good to have a team with so much experience and knowledge at our side throughout.

Mortgage Brokers - Key Questions
How much do mortgage brokers charge?
Typically, a broker will actually be paid around 0.35% of the mortgage loan as commission from your the lender. So, for every £100,000 borrowed, they would receive £700 in commission - if they are on commission. Many will therefore not charge for their advise if they are. However they maybe tied to specific companies and so may not be able to offer the best deal. Start with your bank. They will know you personally and financially - hopefully! They will tell you about their mortgages and you can use them as a base line to compare products found by mortgage brokers around Wallingford.
Is it better to get mortgage from bank or broker?
This question will be answered by this initial mortgage research. You may hit it lucky and find that your bank can give you the best deal - but do check with a mortgage broker first.
