She continued 'This year, we are planning to showcase some extraordinary art installations in two of the most iconic venues in the UK – The Blackpool Tower and the Winter Gardens. Blackpool is once again doing what it does best – producing world-class 22

Equity Release – What’s it all about? If you’ve previously considered Equity Release, or are looking at your current Equity Release plan, then you may be pleasantly surprised by the number of options now on offer. Put simply, a Lifetime Mortgage (which accounts for almost all equity release plans and enables you to retain 100% ownership of your home), provides tax-free funds for 55+ homeowners, at a generally fixed interest rate, for you to use however you want. Obviously, do remember that irrespective of any sizeable house price growth you may have benefitted from over the years, you (or your estate) are not being given ‘free money’ against the value of your home. You do, however, have the option of ‘freedom’ from any monthly payments, if wanted. The outstanding capital (and also any interest owing) would be redeemed when the final planholder dies, or moves into long-term care, with the amount never being more than the value of the home, if taken out with a lender member of the Equity Release Council.

Advice on the best route You can, though, influence at the outset what you or your beneficiaries may face down the line. There are a multitude of options we could discuss with you, such as: •

Interest Payments - if you opt to make no payments at all, then the rolling-up of the interest can, for example, generally double the amount owed in around 15 years. Should you want to minimise this, you can make full or partial interest payments each month and can revert to roll-up at any time.

with an agreed drawdown facility to use, as and when needed. The drawdown approach would also reduce the build-up of interest owed. •

Inheritance guarantee - this would reduce the maximum loan amount but enables a fixed percentage of the property value to be ring-fenced as a minimum inheritance pass on to your beneficiaries regardless of the total interest accrued.

•

Fixed Early Repayment Charge (ERC) - ERC is a fixed percentage of the loan that would have to be paid during an initial set period of time, should you want to pay back the loan. Typically, the ERC decreases on a sliding scale, with non-payable once the fixed period has passed.

•

Downsizing protection - this allows planholders to downsize to a smaller property and repay the loan without incurring an ERC. Typically, there’s a qualifying period of five years before this feature applies.

With the complexity of what’s on offer, it makes sense to take specialist advice!

•

Voluntary/partial repayments paying back some of the capital borrowed, is also feasible, up to a maximum of 15% of the initial loan amount.

•

Drawdown facilities - you could opt for taking the whole amount at the outset, or receive a smaller amount, ADVERTISE - Book Online www.link-mag.co.uk 0800 970 7687 or sales@link-mag.co.uk

inder Myers Solicitors in Lytham St Anne’s has been recognised by Cancer Research UK after facilitating over £673,000 worth of gifts from people choosing to leave a legacy to the charity in their will. Solicitors, Patricia Prescott, Sarah McCarthy, David Hinchliffe, David Jefferies, and paralegal Joanne Vickers, were presented with a Silver certificate by the charity in acknowledgement of the firm’s ongoing support. Linder Myers have been offering the Free Will Service to people aged 55 and over in the Lytham St Anne’s area for over 15 years, giving advice and support for those wishing to write a will or update an existing one. As part of the service Linder Myers give free guidance for those wishing to leave a legacy gift for Cancer Research UK. The charity receives no government funding for its research and relies heavily on the generosity of people leaving gifts in their wills. Over a third of its research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer is funded through supporters leaving a legacy to the charity. Patricia Prescott, Solicitor at Linder Myers said ‘Being able to provide a legal service to residents whilst supporting a worthy charity is rewarding. To know that our efforts have and will continue to contribute to breakthroughs in cancer research is astounding! A legacy gift can be anything someone wishes to leave in their will. Traditionally this is money, but it could be anything that has a monetary value like land or property or a specific item. Anything left to Cancer Research UK will free of tax and can be marked to be ring-fenced for research into a specific cancer type or research within a local area. ‘ Clare Moore, Director of Legacies at Cancer Research UK, explained:

Linder Myers Solicitors Cancer Research Funds honour ‘We all reach a stage at some point in our lives where we start to look ahead and consider what will happen to our financial affairs in the future, when we may no longer be around. At Cancer Research UK, we work with a number of local solicitors including Linder Myers to offer local people aged 55 or over the chance to make an all-important first will or to update an existing one. The service has grown in popularity over the past couple of years and while it is provided free of any obligation, most people choose to kindly leave a gift to the charity.’ ‘By offering Cancer Research UK’s Free Will Service the team at Linder Myers have become well informed about our work and are very supportive of our life-saving research. Whenever their clients express a desire to support us, their team act with great sensitivity as they explain the various options and allow individuals or families to make the right choice in their own good time. It’s quite astonishing to think that by simply combining enthusiasm with the highest

professional standards Linder Myers has helped secure over £673,000 worth of legacy gifts, which will go a long way towards helping our scientists, doctors and nurses to beat cancer sooner.’ Cancer survival in the UK has doubled since the early 1970s and Cancer Research UK’s work has been at the heart of that progress. Every step taken by its doctors, nurses and scientists relies on donations from the public and the kindness of supporters who choose to leave a gift in their will. The Free Will Service has been running successfully for over 20 years across a network of solicitors in the UK. Anyone who wishes to use the service is asked to consider leaving a legacy gift to Cancer Research UK but is under no obligation to do so.

World Fireworks Championship Returns

yrotechnic teams from all over the world will go head-to-head in the annual World Fireworks Championship Blackpool this September. Top-class teams from Estonia, Canada and Ukraine will compete for the coveted title, with displays taking place over four Friday nights starting on September 6. A new winner will be crowned this year, after Firemaster from Canada put on a spectacular display to scoop the prize last year after seeing off competition from Romania and France. The annual fireworks championship is free, and is among the most popular events in Blackpool’s exciting calendar, attracting tens of thousands of visitors to the Promenade each night. Cllr Gillian Campbell, Deputy Leader of Blackpool Council, said: “The World Fireworks Championship Blackpool are back again for another fantastic event. It attracts visitors from all over the country, as well as locals who come along each week, to watch some of the world’s best giving their all in the competition. It’s also a great opportunity to make a weekend of it and visit the world famous Blackpool Illuminations at the same time, as well as all the other shows and attractions.” The displays feature jaw-dropping pyrotechnics – synched to music – from some of the most talented and technically gifted pyrotechnic engineers in the world. This year’s events take place every Friday in September with Pyrocom from Estonia kicking off on September 6, before the Canadian team, Orion

Fireworks, take to the stage on September 13 to try to retain the trophy for Canada before Dance of Fire from Ukraine compete on September 20. The winner will be announced during the exciting finale event on Friday September 27 which features a showcase from the UK’s very own Titanium Fireworks who VisitBlackpool are once again working with to deliver this world-class, pyrotechnical event. Simon Page, Director of Titanium Fireworks said: “Titanium Fireworks are once again absolutely delighted to be organising the World Fireworks Championship Blackpool. We are looking forward to welcoming three new international teams to Blackpool to showcase their skills from the amazing North Pier. We also love closing the competition with our own special show on the last Friday.” All displays and start times are subject to suitable weather conditions and we recommend visitors to the event to allow plenty of time to arrive. There are plenty of restaurants and eating establishments available on the promenade and in the town centre to enjoy before and after each display, so make a night of it. And don’t forget, the Blackpool Illuminations will be shining each night. The fireworks will, as in previous years, be fired from North Pier with build up from 7:30pm and shows starting at 8:30pm.
