Financial Safety
Bower Retirement Services specialises in providing independent financial advice specifically on Equity Release schemes.
As part of our service you will enjoy the benefits of full consumer protection courtesy of the Financial Services Authority and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, and with our Professional Indemnity Insurance.
Because we only recommend Safe Homes Income Plans (SHIP) endorsed equity release products, or those which come with the same set of guarantees, you are guaranteed a set of benefits that secure your financial safety. These benefits cover both financial and legal aspects and we have provided further information on both of these in this section.
