- Are aged between 55 and 84 years 9 months.

Enter your information once and we’ll search the whole open market to see if we can find you a higher income than your current pension provider.
We give you the convenience of shopping around in one place, without the need to complete multiple forms or make lots of phone calls.

Great Service
Asked for a quote as my supposed FA did not want to do this. Quotes turned up very quickly and all competitive from well known firms. Had one query and this was resolved so quickly. Asked for my pack to be posted as my printer not working (do they ever) and got an email as soon as it was in the post. Would highly recomend

L&G and Annuity Ready wasted my time - obscene commission levels
Was told by L&G that they could get me a better rate. They clearly have some kind of deal. Turns out that they couldn't and wasted even more of my time. Also charge an extortionate rate of commission for offering a very ltd service.
