“I definitely felt I made the right decision and the whole process was spot on”

Sandra Eke, from Sidcup, South East London, enjoys an active lifestyle and after a career change she doesn’t plan on retiring anytime soon. Sandra decided to look into equity release as a way to help her daughter and three grandchildren to find somewhere to live. “I spent six months researching the idea before I made the decision to book an appointment with a Key adviser. She was honest and I felt that she looked after my needs. The whole process was a lot easier than I’d expected it to be.” When the money arrived in Sandra’s account, the first thing she did was help her daughter and three grandchildren to find a home, paying the first 12 months’ rent upfront. Sandra explained, “I’ve decorated throughout the house, had a new kitchen and bathroom fitted and rather than do it myself, I paid for someone else to do it. I was also able to take one of my grandchildren to Tenerife to visit my sister who lives over there. I’ve already recommended equity release to some of my friends – in my view, you should enjoy the money whilst you’re still alive. I definitely felt I made the right decision and the whole process was spot on.”
