A local equity release specialist for Manchester homeowners
Manchester property values have climbed sharply over the past two decades. For many homeowners who bought here years ago — from the Victorian terraces of Chorlton and Levenshulme to the leafier suburbs of Didsbury, Sale and Bramhall — a large share of their wealth is now locked up in the family home.
My name is Rob Ashurst. I'm a qualified later-life lending specialist and I've spent many years helping clients across Manchester and Greater Manchester decide whether equity release is the right move 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, carry out home improvements or simply enjoy life now, I'll walk you through every option in plain English.
