LV= to host equity release roadshows

Following the success of its 2009 equity release roadshow series, pensions and equity release specialist LV= is to host a similar run of events in May.

The roadshows will focus on professional connections and lead generation as well as covering issues around state benefits and equity release. They will also give advisers access to a new and improved LV= marketing tool kit.

The first roadshow will take place on 11 May in London and will feature presentations from the LV= equity release team, specialist equity release advisers and lead generation companies. Question and answer sessions will also take place. The other venues are Chelmsford, Reigate, Warrington, Leeds, Bristol, Solihull and Bellshill.

Vanessa Owen, LV= head of equity release, said: “The LV= roadshows will demonstrate to advisers the benefits of equity release and how they can advise their clients more effectively on the opportunities it offers. Many people have equity tied up in their home that they could use to enhance their lifestyle, or simply to help make ends meet, and equity release can be a real benefit to those who want to unlock some of the value in their home.”
