An incredible 28% of retirees have returned to work as the cost-of-living bites. Now, more than ever, the industry needs more brokers to step up and embrace later life lending. 

LiveMore’s “The Cost of Living Over 50” project looks at how the crisis is affecting older borrowers:

• 59% have been impacted by the cost-of-living
• 1 in 5 don’t know how they will cope
•  6 in 10 don’t trust financial services to help them navigate the cost-of-living

In this webinar, LiveMore discuss the biggest misconceptions in later life lending and how it is easier than many brokers think to help borrowers over 50.
