Advisers

The Council welcomes applications from adviser firms subject to the following criteria:

Directly authorised (DA)

All qualified advisers who have the relevant permissions to provide advice on equity release must join along with the firm’s application. The Council’s membership team must be notified as and when eligible advisers join and leave the firm. Annual membership fees are calculated by headcount in each DA firm (see fees table).

Appointed representative (AR)

Applications will only be accepted from ARs whose principal is a member. See our member directory for the current list.

Upon joining, AR firm fees are the same as DA fees, charged on pro rata basis to bring the firm in line with their network’s renewal date. Upon renewal ARs may qualify for a network rate.
