Thinking of buying a property abroad?

Michael and Susan Mancey, of West Sussex, dreamed of buying a property abroad but lacked the necessary funds. They saw an advertisement for Key, contacted us, and decided to release the equity tied up in their home to realise their dream.

"We’d been to Spain many times and really wanted to buy a house there but we just didn’t have enough money," explains Michael. "Then we heard about equity release and realised there could be a way after all." The couple contacted Key to find out how much they could release and made an appointment to speak to our local specialist adviser, George Wotton.

"Our adviser came to our home to discuss all our options and help us decide if equity release was right for us," Michael continues. "He talked us through the different types of plans and helped us to find one which met our needs. Everything was so easy and we were kept informed all the way."

Living their dream

Releasing the equity in their home enabled Michael and Susan to buy their dream home abroad and also have money left over. They have plans to spend five months a year over in Spain eventually and also enjoy their retirement in the sun.
