You’ve worked hard for your home. If you’re over 55 and own property in Dorset, equity release could unlock the tax-free cash tied up in it — to spend exactly as you choose, at your pace, with zero pressure.


Equity release is a way for homeowners aged 55 and over to access the value tied up in their property as tax-free cash — without having to sell or move out. The most common type is a lifetime mortgage, where a loan is secured against your home and repaid when the property is eventually sold. To understand the full picture, read our complete guide to what is equity release.

Yes — we advise homeowners across the whole of Dorset. Home visits are available throughout the county, including coastal areas like Weymouth and Swanage, and more rural parts such as the Purbeck peninsula and the Blackmore Vale. If travelling isn’t convenient, phone and video appointments are just as thorough and work equally well. Everything happens at your pace, with no obligation at any stage.
Because Dorset property values are among the highest outside London, many homeowners in the county qualify to release a meaningful sum. As a general rule of thumb, the older you are and the higher your property value, the more you may be able to access — typically ranging from around 20% to 50% of your home’s value depending on your age and circumstances. For a personalised figure based on your specific property, read our guide to how much equity you could release.
Yes. Our advisers cover the full county — from the coastal towns of Weymouth, Swanage, and Bridport to the inland market towns of Sherborne, Blandford Forum, and Shaftesbury.

From your first consultation to funds arriving in your account, the process typically takes 6–8 weeks end to end.

Your adviser will manage the whole process and keep you informed at every step.
