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.

Shaun Hart Chartered Financial Planner (IFA)
Woodstock House, The Avenue, Kingston, Lewes BN7 3LL, UK – 01273 486220
On my return to England from Canada and after settling into my rented property I needed to find someone to help me manage my finances. A google search did it, Shaun came up as the only financial advisor in my local area, result!! I couldn’t praise him more for his professionalism, kindness, plain speaking (only because you know us women don’t always understand long words). I didn’t have much to invest, but he has looked after my portfolio and it has grown. The little touches like remembering your birthday with a card every year for the last 8 years! You won’t be disappointed.
I have known Shaun for the past 4 years and from the very outset he impressed upon me the highest levels of professionalism, knowledge, and most importantly, trust. Shaun has taken away the stresses and uncertainties of dealing with my pension, and he is always very quick to respond to any concerns I may have in a straightforward and clear manner. He has given me confidence that my pension is in very safe hands and in the best possible place it could be. He is patient, reliable and very knowledgeable and I would recommend his services to everyone!

I have been banking at the Lewes branch for more than 25 years and have always found the staff polite and helpful.
Great customer service when I popped in to the Lewes Branch recently. The young lady was very friendly and very efficient.

Dude called Jake, what a lad. Nuff said.
I have never had a problem with this bank. I get weekly texts showing my balance with recent transactions, a great help in keeping on track with your budget. Staff are very pleasant, but the queues at lunchtime are a right pain! I would recommend this bank to friends and family.
Lloyds Bank
8 High St, East Sussex, Lewes BN7 2AD, UK – 0345 300 0000
Went in yesterday with an issue relating to a parking fine from Spain which I had paid on-line. Member of staff couldn't have been more helpful and even understood the letter in Spanish!

HSBC

Good counter service but a pity one cannot pay in money automatically.
Barclays Bank
The Old Bank, High Street, Lewes BN7 2JP, UK – 0345 734 5345
On the contrary to the other very negative and in my opinion, rather rude review of this bank and in particular a review of Stephen, I had quite a wonderful experience. I opened an ISA saving account with low and behold, Stephen! He was very professional, thorough and the entire process was very well received. Would highly recommend an appointment with Stephen, as not only is he very good at his job, but also full of bants! WE LOVE STEPHEN!

Could not be happier with the service I received from Steph and Natalie. Having been through two useless mortgage brokers we were keen for the mortgage to go through quickly and they were incredibly accommodating. We were kept informed throughout and felt supported by them the whole time.
