I was at a conference recently and there was a speaker who was introduced as an "equity release specialist". He may well have been, but certainly wasn't a good speaker. He confused a lot of people with his view of equity release plans and equity release schemes.

I don't want to publish his name (or that of the conference) for fear of embarassment - however, if any other people in the audience are reading this entry and want some good material on equity release, then you'll find some on this site, which I created especially for the purpose.

Also, if you want some professional, specialist help on equity release, then I suggest you speak to leading Wirral law firm, Lees Lloyd Whitley.
