Q & A
Who would value my property?
To protect your interests, a Valuation Report will be undertaken by a member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors. You may choose from an extensive panel of valuers. The valuer will always be independent of Bridgewater Equity Release Limited and its parent company Grainger plc.
Which solicitor should I use?
You will need independent legal advice and therefore will need to instruct your own solicitor. If you do not have a solicitor we can provide you with the contact details for a network of solicitors, who are experienced in equity release, for you to choose from.
How long does it take to receive my cash lump sum?
From the date of receipt of your application form it usually takes 8-12 weeks to complete the sale. The cash sum will be with your solicitor on the day of completion.
