Can you give me an example of the type of advice you would provide to me as a member regarding, say, a stairlift?
You have probably heard of Stannah Stairlifts – a well known, quality stairlift manufacturer. However, there are many others with numerous options and choices. You may also wish to consider a reconditioned stairlift, as these are considerably cheaper than buying new. We can provide information on a number of providers and, once you have made your choice, help with funding the purchase if required.

I want to move at once, before my house is sold. What are my options?
If you are moving to a smaller property then we are able to advance monies in anticipation of the sales proceeds of your existing home to enable you to move now. If you are moving into care, then we can advance monies to either pay for care or to purchase an immediate care plan whilst we sell your property on your behalf.
