# Oakwood Legacy Planning
Oakwood Legacy Planning is an equity release specialist based in Leeds, serving homeowners aged 55 and over who want to unlock their property wealth responsibly. Founded by Alex Powell, who brings over nine years of financial services experience, the firm focuses exclusively on lifetime mortgages and home reversion plans—two regulated equity release products designed for older homeowners.
The business distinguishes itself through personalised, transparent advice. Rather than a transactional approach, Alex guides each client individually from initial consultation through to completion, ensuring recommendations align with their specific circumstances and long-term goals. This hands-on methodology reflects his belief that equity release decisions deserve careful consideration and clarity about both benefits and implications.
Oakwood Legacy Planning helps clients deploy equity release across diverse life goals: supplementing retirement income, funding home improvements that support independence, clearing existing mortgages to reduce monthly outgoings, and supporting family members with significant milestones. The firm also assists those managing multiple debts by consolidating borrowing into a single, manageable solution.
What sets Oakwood apart is the emphasis on informed decision-making. The firm explicitly discusses how equity release may affect means-tested benefits and inheritance, and recommends exploring alternative funding sources—such as government grants—before proceeding. This integrity-driven approach, combined with Alex's background valuing discipline and strategy, positions Oakwood Legacy Planning as a trustworthy guide for an important financial decision in later life.
