Equity Release Supermarket® was founded by Mark Gregory in 2008.

Mark was an equity release adviser and so he understands both the customer journey and how equity release can help change people’s lives. He had a unique vision for the market.

One where he could offer his customers the very best impartial financial advice, access plans from the whole marketplace, recommend the best equity release deals, and make the most of technology to help his customers.

That vision became Equity Release Supermarket, which in just a few years has grown to become one of the leading equity release advisory services and helped thousands of people to enjoy financial freedom through equity release.

We are built upon outstanding financial advice

Offering the highest quality financial advice is central to Equity Release Supermarket’s success. From the early days, Mark has carefully recruited his financial advisers from leading companies such as Aviva and Prudential.

He personally interviews and appoints all the advisers that join Equity Release Supermarket to ensure that they share the same passion for helping people achieve their financial goals through equity release.

To ensure that we continue to offer the very best service to our customers, we have our own Training Academy, to continually develop our existing advisers and recruit and nurture the very best talent into the equity release industry.

To offer you extra peace of mind, all our advisers are members of the Equity Release Council, a voluntary trade body, which aims to ensure that advisers act with integrity and transparency in offering high-quality products and services to customers. The Equity Release Council represents the equity release sector and exists to promote high standards of conduct and practice. You can check our adviser’s membership details here. Equity Release Supermarket Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and can be found on the FCA Financial Services Register. Reference no. 584063.

While we don’t ask for plaudits, we’re also very proud of what our customers have to say about us in the review site feefo and in social media. The equity release industry has also given us a number of awards, which shows that we are doing the right thing for our customers.
