First Stop

Working in partnership with Elderly Accommodation Counsel (EAC), Retirement Homesearch are proud to introduce a free advice helpline for our customers. The FirstStop Advice Line is an independent, impartial and free service offering advice and information to older people, their families and carers about housing and options for later life.

Advisers will be able to assist with a range of matters including:

  • Understanding which retirement age benefits you may be entitled to
  • Identifying any other financial support that may be available to you
  • How to obtain independent financial advice and understanding when it might be appropriate to do so
  • Help to remain living independently at home

You can call the FirstStop Advice Line for free on 0800 310 2033. Available Monday-Friday 9am-5pm

We also have a number of useful factsheets, developed in partnership with EAC, looking at a range of topics including benefits, legal advice and equity release.
