Retirement is different for everyone. With lots of options now available to you from the age of 55 we can provide you with impartial financial advice to help you make the right decisions.
Since 2015 the way in which you can access your pensions has changed. Previously people taking benefits from their pension would take a 25% tax-free lump sum and then receive a regular monthly income from the remaining 75% of the fund via either income drawdown or an annuity.
Nowadays there are several ways of taking your pension benefits, but advice is often needed to fully understand the options and know which one (or which combination) is best for you.
You can take cash withdrawals when you need them from your pension. Normally the first 25% will be tax-free and the rest added to your other income and taxable.
You can drawdown from your pension either regularly or on an ad hoc basis
You can use your pension pot to buy a guaranteed income for life
