Review of the Standard Life, Drawdown:

Didn't even want to give them one star

Didn't even want to give them one star! Just had a conversation with Standard Life about Equity Release as my husband and myself would like to release equity in our home so we can enjoy it. Whilst we fitted the criteria of this, we were told that we couldn't invest the money into our existing pension pot so we would receive interest on the lump sum to benefit us and so that we could draw down on the sum twice a year like we do now. We were told that we could only put it into a bank account!! What right minded person would put a couple of hundred thousand into their current account with little or no interest. When speaking to their adviser, I was told that I seemed very astute about financial matters and then to be told my husband and myself could not use the money as we wanted was not only insulting but left me astounded at their advice.
