Average pension in Lincoln

No matter how long you’ve been managing your own finances, there are always questions that remain unanswered in relation to retirement planning. It’s incredibly difficult to predict how much you’ll need, so it’s not an easy task for anyone to undertake, but that’s precisely why we’re here to help.

We work with financial advisors in Lincoln and all over the East Midlands area, so we connect people with qualified professionals on a daily basis. They understand what it takes to plan for retirement and cover a range of financial topics with people like you, including how individual circumstances compare to the regional averages.

In the East Midlands in particular, people typically:

  • Have an average pension of £125,428
  • Have a life expectancy of 80 years
  • Should expect a pension shortfall of £15,781

Whether you come in above or below those averages, you can discuss what your financial future looks like with an advisor who’ll be matched to your personal requirements. From there, you could get recommendations that’ll change your outlook on your years of long-awaited freedom.

One of the most common topics of discussion with the advisors we work with is property. Whether it concerns renting, remortgaging or moving home in time for retirement, they have the expertise and local knowledge of Lincoln and the surrounding areas to help.

House prices in the East Midlands average out at £226,846 and they’re on the rise, too—that’s an increase of 14.3% on the year before—so this could be an ideal time for you to explore your options if you’re a homeowner.

You might already be in the thick of retirement planning or you might simply be considering some initial questions; it doesn’t matter how much preparation you’ve done—you can speak to a qualified advisor in no time to point you in the right direction.

Is the advice one-off or ongoing?

The type of advice you need depends on your circumstances.

  • We encourage everyone we connect with an advisor to discuss their financial needs in detail so they can receive the right amount of advice.

  • You may only need one-off advice if you need help choosing a long-term product to support your retirement, such as an annuity.

  • If you need flexibility with your money, you may prefer ongoing advice from your advisor with you speaking every six months or year to see how your money is performing.

  • Whatever help you need, your advisor will clearly lay out the costs involved. These can be one-off costs or recurring, such as a fund management fee.
