Who are the equity release award-winning providers?

With a number of equity release providers each offering a range of products, how can you choose the best one for you? One way is to look at which providers have been winning equity release awards.

There are specialist equity release awards, and equity release categories within broader personal finance or mortgage awards. Both feature some of the best equity release companies, so who are the latest award winners?
Here’s our round up of the main equity release awards for the past couple of years:

  • Mortgage Solutions Equity Release Awards
  • Mortgage Strategy Awards
  • What Mortgage Awards
  • Mortgage Finance Gazette Awards
  • MoneyAge Mortgage Awards

If you would like help to choose which of the best equity release companies is suitable for you, please get in touch. We can arrange an appointment with one of our selected equity release advisers to discuss your circumstances and offer further information and advice.

Just call us on 0808 178 3055 or request a call back and we’ll arrange a no-obligation appointment for you. Alternatively, check your eligibility and get an initial indication of how much tax-free cash you could unlock.
