About RetirementExpert

RetirementExpert.co.uk is an independent UK guide to retirement decisions. We publish plain-English explainers, calculators and checklists on the State Pension, pension drawdown, equity release, retirement tax, and the housing and care decisions that come with later life.

What we are — and what we are not

We are publishers. We are not regulated financial advisers, and nothing on this site is a personal recommendation. Where you need advice on a specific decision — especially equity release, defined benefit transfers or large drawdown choices — we recommend speaking to a regulated adviser authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority.

How we make money

The site is funded by display advertising and, in some sections, by clearly marked affiliate partnerships with regulated firms. Editorial content is written independently of advertisers. If we link to a partner we tell you.

Who writes for us

Content is researched and written by our editorial team and reviewed against primary sources (GOV.UK, HMRC, MoneyHelper, FCA, ONS). Where appropriate, individual articles will name the author and reviewer.
