A local equity release specialist for Blackburn homeowners
Blackburn is a town with deep roots and long-standing homeowners. Many people who bought here decades ago now find their property is worth far more than the mortgage they took out — and that housing wealth can quietly transform what retirement looks like.
My name is Rob Ashurst. I'm a qualified later-life lending specialist and I've helped clients across Blackburn, the Ribble Valley and the wider North West decide whether equity release is right for them. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn't — and I'll tell you either way.
Whether you'd like to clear a mortgage, top up your retirement income, help family onto the property ladder, fund home improvements or simply enjoy life now, I'll walk you through every option in plain English.

Equity release in Blackburn — the basics
Who is equity release for?
Homeowners aged 55 and over who want to release some of the tax-free cash tied up in their home, without having to move.
Will I still own my home?
With a Lifetime Mortgage — the most common form of equity release — yes. You remain the owner and have the right to live there for life, protected by Equity Release Council standards.
Can I leave an inheritance?
Yes. The level of inheritance will depend on factors such as interest rate, amount released, property growth and life expectancy. I'll show you the numbers clearly so you can decide.
How much does the advice cost?
Your first consultation is free. If you proceed, the maximum fee is £1,695 payable on completion.
