Simply Later Life Lending

Supporting the provision of service and advice through access to products, compliance, professional services and personal development in this highly defined area, to allow advisers to help you help more of your clients achieve their plans in later life.

The Simply Later Life proposition, created and built using the specialist experience, knowledge, and skills of both SimplyBiz and Air, offers market leading support for firms which are already operating in the later life market, those considering entering this business area and those who outsource their equity release cases.

The ability to release equity in a property has been with us for many years, however, the broader area of lending into later life is a relatively new concept, which for many can offer a perfect solution for future plans. Its uses are many and often highly individual to each of your clients.

Members have significant support available to support them in meeting the varied requirements of their clients, whether through equity release, retirement interest only or just extended lending parameters. Members even have the option to refer their client to one of our specialist referral partners.

Through our unique partnership with The Key Group, Members have direct access to the advanced technology provided by the Air Sourcing platform, the Air Academy and to marketing materials to your support your advice in this area.

Later Life Lenders

Later life lending can be suitable for many uses. Usually these mortgages are traditional mortgage lending where the financial institution permits a longer lending term. The lenders in this area are keen to support advisers with clients looking to borrow additional funds.

RIO

Retirement interest-only mortgage solutions are similar to standard interest-only mortgages where the difference is in the fact that the loan amount is usually paid down when the borrower’s property is sold due to death or having moved into long-term care. The lenders in this area currently offer this specific product type.

Referral Partners

If you don't hold the relevant permissions to conduct equity release business, or just prefer to concentrate on other areas of specialism within your firm, these companies are able to take on cases from your clients in this area.
