Many are reaching their retirement years and still have monthly mortgage bills to pay.
Thousands also have interest-only mortgages due to mature in the next five years with a shortfall of thousands between the amount left to pay and the funds they have available.
We are seeing a shift in how people view inheritance, with many wanting to help children or grandchildren financially now rather than after theyâve gone.
Sometimes help is needed to take the first steps on the property ladder, for university fees, help with debts or small businesses or just to give money for them to enjoy!
Many of us have holidays weâve always dreamed of going on and places weâve always wanted to visit; during retirement is the perfect time to make sure those dreams come true. Whether it be a trip to the other side of the world, a luxury cruise or ticking off the Seven Wonders of the World, those wishes could come true!
One thing we donât want to do when we retire is have money worries hanging over our heads.
The financial security of knowing that you donât need to worry whether youâve enough money to pay the bills can make an enormous difference to being able to enjoy your retirement.
Itâs possible that the home you live in today, isnât the one in which you want to spend your later years, you might want to move to a different part of the country, a smaller property or a purpose built retirement village. If the new property value is higher, the home youâre in now could help you bridge that gap.
