Living in Epsom and your pensions

Epsom and Ewell has a high proportion of owner-occupiers, established families and long-term residents.

Which of your pensions are worth combining, and which are far better left exactly where they are, depends entirely on the guarantees attached to each. That is the regulated question an adviser answers for you before anything moves.

Where Epsom is

Getting around Epsom

The community skews towards professionals, families and those who have made a deliberate lifestyle choice to live here, which contributes to its settled, stable character. Several NHS practices serve Epsom and Ewell, covering the town centre, West Ewell, Stoneleigh and Ewell.

Retirement is about more than money, it is the life your pension pays for. Combining old pots into one place can make it simpler to plan for exactly the Epsom life you want.

The risks, please read this first

Combining pensions can help, but it is not always right, and getting it wrong can be costly.

Defined-benefit pensions

Final-salary and public-sector schemes promise an income for life. These are usually best left where they are.

Guarantees you could lose

Guaranteed annuity rates, protected tax-free cash or a protected early pension age can be worth a great deal.

Exit penalties & perks

Some older plans charge to leave, or come with employer top-ups or life cover you would give up.

The pot stays invested

A combined pot remains invested, so its value can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than was transferred in, and that risk sits with you, not the scheme.

This is why advice on combining pensions is a regulated activity, and it is what we connect you to.
