Customer stories

Key have helped over 1 million people decide if equity release is right for them, see what some of them have to say

What's right for you


If you’re already familiar with Key Equity Release, you’ll know we believe that your retirement should be just right for you. This is why we take a personal approach to equity release.

We take the time to speak to you over the phone to understand you and your personal circumstances. We give you all the information you need to make an informed decision in your own time, and if equity release isn’t right for you, we’ll tell you.

Over the past 20 years, Key have helped thousands of people enjoy a better retirement through equity release. During that time, we’ve got to know our customers very well.

Here are some of their stories 

John

69, Retired

The best thing about all of this is I can have the holidays I want, the grandkids are over the moon, their pockets are never empty now. It’s just nice to wake up in the morning and not worry about anything.

It’s extremely rewarding to know we make a difference, and that customers are so willing to share their stories - and some of them are truly inspirational. From the 74-year-old skydiver to the 84-year-old globe-trotting ballroom dancer, our customers are proof that age is nothing but a number.

There are all kinds of reasons our customers opt for equity release such as going on an adventure, for home improvements, to pay off existing debt or support loved ones. Whatever the motivation, we champion the idea of helping people make their retirement dreams a reality, whether that’s healthier finances or a once-in-a-lifetime trip around the world.
