Age Partnership grows 15pc in 9 months

The overall equity release market has grown by 4.6% between Q1 and Q3 2015 which compares to 15.4% growth in Age Partnership volumes over the same period.

Age Partnership established a face-to-face service across the UK this year after heavily investing in the business which traditionally offered a telephone-based service.

The firm is now looking to recruit more field-based equity release advisors to roughly double their face-to-face advisers by the end of Q1 2016.

Simon Chalk, technical manager of equity release at Age Partnership, said: “We have always had a strong phone-based service, but adding in our field-based adviser team has made a huge difference to our business and now gives our customers the choice on how they would like to receive our service.

“Age Partnership has invested heavily in being able to provide a high quality, cost-effective service to clients and we are determined to continue to take a growing share of the expanding equity release market.’’
