How Key helped Gordon and Sandra

After deciding equity release was the right financial move for them, Gordon Simmons, a retired chef, and his wife, Sandra, released £20,000 from their North Yorkshire bungalow. They quickly put the money to good use by clearing their outstanding mortgage and adding a kitchen extension to their property. There was still enough money left over to upgrade their car and enjoy a well-deserved holiday in Crete. Gordon was particularly impressed with the service the couple received from Key Retirement, remarking, “They were very helpful and explained everything clearly.” As the couple have three daughters, whose inheritance will be affected by their decision to take out an equity release plan, they talked over the decision as a family. “They all said we should spend the money and enjoy it,” says Gordon.
