Our host is Julian Knight MP and the event will see the launch of the Council’s White Paper which will explore the future role of housing wealth as retirement income. It will consider the outlook for equity release in the post-pension freedoms landscape, and explore the implications of emerging changes in product innovation and retirement income planning. 

It will highlight the progress made in recent years in developing equity release products which meet the needs of older consumers, as well as the key challenges facing the Government where equity release can be a part of the solution.

Confirmed speakers include Nigel Waterson and Dr Louise Overton, Teaching Fellow in Social Policy at the University of Birmingham and one of the authors of the report.
