NORWICH FINANCIAL ADVICE

Average pension in Norwich

Average pension in Norwich

One of the best ways to learn is to learn from others and that certainly helps when you’re trying to find the ideal amount to save for retirement. The good news is you don’t need to poll folks at your nearest retirement community.

We’ve done the legwork and found that on average people in Norwich usually:

  • Have an average pension of £130,395
  • Have a life expectancy of 81 years
  • Should expect a pension shortfall of £17,366

Pension pot calculators can be reassuring when you’re trying to understand how to plan for retirement. But seeing that estimate doesn’t help you answer the key question: will your savings be enough to last? We’re living longer than ever in the UK - and that means budgeting for a longer retirement.

Financial advisors have the expert knowledge you need to help you achieve a fulfilling retirement. They’ll help you understand your financial goals and build a solid plan, giving you peace of mind. And it all starts with a free, no-obligation consultation. Our handy service makes getting started easy and can connect you with an expert advisor in Norwich in seconds.

Property market in Norwich

If you’re a Norwich homeowner, you’ll have much more than just your State Pension and personal pension to rely on. Retirees looking for extra income often choose to downsize to smaller properties. If you’d rather stay in your current home, equity release could be an option to free up cash. That could be the extra income you need for that dream cruise or a more comfortable lifestyle.

The average Norwich house price is £272,348 according to Rightmove, up 10% since 2020. As more people seek Norwich’s mix of heritage, city buzz and countryside charm, this could be a good time to speak to your advisor about equity release.

Working with a financial advisor could help you feel more confident about your options. They’ll help you identify your options and weigh each one to help you build a solid roadmap to a worry-free retirement.

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.
