Buying an annuity direct from us.

Call our Annuity Solutions team for your personalised quote on .

You can buy our Pension Annuity either through a financial adviser or direct from us.

Buying an annuity to convert your pension fund into an income for the rest of your life is an important one-off decision. Once you've bought your annuity you won't be able to change your mind, so it's important that you make an informed decision.

If you call us direct for your personalised annuity quote (or quotes), our expert team will take care to help you understand your buying options. They'll also ask you all-important questions about your health to see if we can offer you extra income. Common lifestyle health risks like smoking or being overweight, and more serious medical conditions could qualify you for extra income for life.

Here's what you can expect when you call us for your personalised annuity quote(s):

• A friendly, helpful team of pension annuity experts to take your call.
• As much or as little help as you need to understand your buying options, with referral to a financial adviser where appropriate.
• A personalised quote in minutes, or multiple quotes, to help illustrate how adding different options affects your income. Quotes are guaranteed for 18 days.
• Acceptance of pension funds from as little as £1,000, including combining pension funds from different providers into a single annuity income.
• Competitive rates and income including automatic screening for extra income based on your health issues and postcode.
• An instant decision on extra income based on common lifestyle health risks; smoking, being overweight, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and Type 2 diabetes.
  Please have your current weight and latest blood pressure and cholesterol readings to hand if appropriate.
• Bespoke condition-specific questionnaires sent to you for more serious medical conditions for us to consider you for our enhanced annuity rates.
• A dedicated point of contact to guide you through the buying process, from quote to setting up your regular income payments for life.

If you decide to buy a Pension Annuity direct from us, we'll contact your pension provider(s) to organise transfer of your pension fund and chase them to help ensure that we can start paying your income as soon as possible.

Remember, it can often pay to shop around for your pension annuity to maximise your income. Call us today for your personalised annuity quote or quotes to see how we compare.
