Purchased Life Annuity PLA Standard

Standard or Conventional Pension Annuity for non-smokers and people in good health.

Options:  Annuity application can be for yourself only i.e.  a single life annuity or a joint lives annuity i.e.  your pension income to continue for your spouse after your death.  We will help with and arrange releasing lump sums, selecting level income or increasing income and other options such as guaranteed income periods and 'in advance' or 'in arrears' payments.

Advice works:  We will conduct in depth research and analysis on annuities (or consolidate into 1 if more than one).  We will compare the maximum annuity income available from the open market with the annuity income rate offered by your existing pension(s).  It will include full research and a schedule of suggested annuity contracts including product type recommendations and provider recommendations and rates.  Application forms, lump sum release forms and any other pension transfer and 'open market option' forms will be handled by us and we deal with all aspects of your application to completion.

Fixed Fees, nil commission:  We charge set fees and do not charge a % as the time involved to arrange a £50,000 annuity is the same as that for a £100,000 annuity and the risk is relatively low given that we are securing you a guaranteed income for life.
